POS hardware that works with Café QR

A tablet for the till, a Star mC-Print3 for receipts and kitchen tickets, and a cash drawer that plugs into the printer. The printer connects to your router and fetches tickets over the internet, so there is nothing to install, and the till opens the drawer when a sale takes cash.

You buy the hardware directly from Pos-Hardware. Café QR doesn't sell hardware or add anything to the price.

• ✓Tablet: Capture CA-TAB-22213, a 12-inch POS tablet with 4G (a stand is offered with it)
• ✓Printer: Star Micronics mC-Print3, for receipts and kitchen tickets
• ✓Cash drawer: CA-CD410 heavy-duty cash drawer (410mm), plugged into the printer

The till, waiter app, kitchen screen and dashboard all run in a modern browser on an iPad, Android tablet, phone or laptop. Many cafés start with a spare tablet and add a printer later.

Other Star printers with CloudPRNT (TSP100IV, TSP650II) and Epson printers with Server Direct Print (TM-m30, TM-T88VI, TM-T88VII) work the same way as the mC-Print3. Most other receipt printers work through our free print bridge.

In the UK, link a Stripe Terminal, Dojo or SumUp Solo reader to the till so card payments are taken and recorded in one step, or keep your existing card machine and record card sales on the till. Guests who order by QR code pay on their own phone, with no hardware at all.
