Recommended hardware

Kitchfly doesn't sell or lease hardware. Use what you already have, or buy standard equipment wherever you like. This is what works.

The minimum to startThe computer, tablet or phone you already have. That's it. Add a printer, a cash drawer or a card reader when you need them.

Register

  • A Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) computer with the free Kitchfly app for Windows.
  • Or an Android 7+ tablet with the free Kitchfly app for Android.
  • Or any device with a web browser, including an iPad.

The apps print receipts without the print dialog and have a kiosk mode with a PIN. Download them

Servers' tablets

  • Any Android 7+ tablet or phone with the Kitchfly app.
  • Or an iPad or any tablet with a browser.

The POS keeps taking orders and cash payments if the internet goes down, and syncs when it's back.

Receipt and kitchen printers

  • A thermal printer, 80 mm (most common) or 58 mm.
  • USB or network for the Windows app; Bluetooth or network for the Android app.
  • Common models from Epson (TM), Star, Bixolon, Xprinter and similar work.

A network printer in the kitchen can be shared by every tablet.

Cash drawer

  • Any cash drawer that plugs into the receipt printer with a phone-style cable (RJ11 or RJ12).
  • It opens from the Windows or Android app when you charge in cash.

Using only the browser? Many printer drivers can open the drawer with every receipt.

Kitchen display and order board

  • Kitchen display: any tablet or screen with a browser.
  • Order-ready board: any smart TV or screen with a browser.

No per-screen fees: add as many screens as you need.

Card payments

  • Kitchfly Pay: a WisePOS E or S700 card reader, or key in the card.
  • Taking cash only for now? You don't need a reader.

Self-service kiosk

  • Any Android tablet or iPad on the counter.
  • A card reader next to it, or guests pay at the register with their order number.

Internet

  • Any regular business or home connection.
  • If it drops, the POS keeps working and syncs on its own.

Already have equipment from another system?

If it's a standard thermal printer, cash drawer, tablet or computer, it most likely works. Ask us before you buy anything: [email protected] or the WhatsApp button.
