Hardware questions
What hardware does a bakery POS need?
At minimum a tablet or computer and a receipt printer. Most bakeries add a cash drawer, a barcode scanner and a label printer; shops that sell by weight add a label scale; and you need a card terminal from your processor.
Do you sell hardware?
No. Buy from any supplier you trust; this guide lists the kinds of devices that work. Bring model numbers to your demo and we will check them.
How much does bakery POS hardware cost?
It varies by market and supplier. A tablet, receipt printer and drawer is the usual starting kit; scales and label printers are the bigger purchases. Reusing what you already own is often possible.
Can I use my existing printer and scanner?
Very likely, if they are standard devices (ESC/POS receipt printers, USB scanners). Devices locked to another POS vendor’s software will not work.
How do scale labels work with the POS?
The scale prints a barcode carrying the product code and the weight; the register reads it. See weighing scales.
How many registers can I have?
Counter includes one, Bakehouse three, Commissary unlimited. Extra registers can be added on Counter and Bakehouse.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in a mobile browser — handy for taking pre-orders at a market stall or checking stock. For the counter a tablet is easier.
Which card readers work?
The terminal from your own payment processor. We do not process payments or take a percentage.
No question matches that. Try another word, or ask us on the demo.
