The infrastructure that keeps everything else working
None of these five devices are what a buyer searches for by name — they're what makes the rest of the setup actually work. Most "the POS keeps disconnecting" tickets turn out to be the Wi-Fi, not the POS.
Two of the five — the cash drawer and the card reader — are standard in nearly every setup. The other three are situational: request the Wi-Fi access point, order alert speaker, and power bank for the setups that need them, rather than assuming every kit ships with all five.
Which one is right for you?
Cash Drawer
Every cash-accepting counter — without it, cash sales mean an unsecured till and a drawer that doesn't open itself
Payment Terminal & Card Reader
Every setup — without it, there's no way to accept cards at transparent, published rates
Restaurant Wi-Fi Access Point
Larger floors and multi-device setups — without it, POS, kiosk, kitchen display, and printer dropouts get blamed on the wrong device
Order Alert Speaker
Delivery-heavy kitchens — without it, online and delivery orders sit unnoticed during a rush
POS Power Bank
Food trucks, patios, and festivals — without it, a dead handheld stops tableside payments with no outlet in reach

Cash, Connectivity & Power — Questions, Answered
Usually not. Most "the POS keeps disconnecting" tickets turn out to be the Wi-Fi, not the POS — a consumer router that can't keep up with a dining room full of devices. A commercial access point is built for all-day uptime and many simultaneous devices, without us claiming a specific coverage radius we haven't measured for your building.
Both are options on the same trigger — USB for a direct wired connection to the terminal, or Bluetooth for a fully wireless setup when the drawer isn't within cable reach.
The dedicated countertop reader works with the Stripe Reader S710 — our recommended pick for its built-in cellular backup — at a transparent 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction, with no hidden markups. Tap-to-pay is also built directly into the Counter POS, kiosk, and handheld if you'd rather skip extra hardware.
A kitchen that misses online and delivery orders during a rush because nobody's watching the screen. It announces every new order out loud, so nothing sits unmade and cold.
No. The cash drawer and payment terminal are standard in nearly every setup. The Wi-Fi access point, order alert speaker, and POS power bank are request-based add-ons for the setups that need them — a larger floor, a delivery-heavy kitchen, or an off-grid location — not something every kit ships with by default.
We don't publish hardware prices — every setup is different. The one published number in this series is the Stripe processing rate on the payment terminal (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction); everything else is quoted per setup. Request a demo and we'll scope exactly what your location needs.
