What is a Hardware Bundle?

A hardware bundle is a collection of hardware that will allow a restaurant to operate their POS system as a complete unit. A vendor supplied hardware bundle offers a restaurant a comprehensive set of POS hardware items, instead of having to purchase each individual item separately.

A typical POS hardware bundle offers several items such as a POS terminal, receipt printer, cash drawer, barcode scanner, and sometimes a kitchen display system or customer facing display screen.

Hardware bundles can help make POS implementation easier because they include a collection of POS devices that are compatible.

How Does a Hardware Bundle Work?

A hardware bundle works by connecting multiple POS devices to form a complete POS system that can be operated by a restaurant. In this system, the POS terminal or tablet is the primary device where restaurant employees enter orders and process payments.

When orders are entered into the system, the system can automatically route the orders to the desired devices, such as a receipt printer or kitchen display system to facilitate the processing of orders and transactions.
