Overview

With Restaurant POS tablets, servers can easily take orders at the table, using the same user interface that is displayed on the point-of-sale system.

Warning

Payments using the tablet is not currently supported.

Tip

Requires a stationary front-of-house point-of-sale system.

Tip

Requires ability to handle payments at station - not relying on the tablet for payments.


How does it work?

Info

The tablet web browser sends a service request to print. Based on the back-of-house settings, the print request is then sent to the configured station. This station has eservice setup to send a local network print request to the targeted printer.

Configuration Information

Why are we recommending merchants use the Kiosk App? 

The Kiosk App has worked well historically with SpotOn dealers. It enables restaurants to lockdown other apps in Kiosk Mode so managers can ensure servers are only using the FOH app. The layout ensures that users do not waste any real estate on the SpotOn pages. 

Can merchants use their own tablets if it’s not a fire tablet? 

We reccomend using fire tablets, our merchants can technically still use any device with a browser to access our POS. 

What tablet case should we recommend?

The SpotOn dealer success team has used this case historically but it does not have a hand strap. 

Why are we recommending tablets without an integrated payment solution?

  1. FIS will not be live in GA until 2024 

  2. We are prioritizing payments on our first-party hardware prior to Fire Tablets. 

  3. The tablets are relatively cheap. If we need to, we can eventually buy-out the fire tablets and switch merchants to a custom one. 

  4. This effort will give us more data on whether it even makes sense to prioritize payments for this form factor.
