FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A mobile POS is a portable terminal that allows servers to take orders, process payments, and issue receipts or invoices directly at the table — without returning to the main station. It works well for fast service and mobile operations across many food service concepts.

Yes, you can use a handheld POS on your own tablet or smartphone. In that case, only the basic features will be available: taking orders and closing the check. Printing and payment processing will not be available because standard tablets and smartphones lack built-in printers.

If you want full mobile POS functionality — including taking orders, processing payments, closing checks, and printing receipts or invoices — we recommend using Sunmi devices.
