Can I reuse my current iPad?

Yes, if it can run iPadOS 16.4 or later and suits your installation. We check the exact model during the demo.

Which printer should I prepare?

The reference model is the Epson TM‑m30III connected to the local network with a static IP address. Other Epson models must be checked before installation.

Can I keep my payment terminal?

Yes. NowOS works with your usual standalone payment terminal: take payment on the terminal, then confirm it in the register.

How many devices do I need to start?

One main iPad is enough. Add secondary iPhones or iPads according to the number of people working on the floor, outside or at the counter.
