Internet optional
Works with the internet off.
Tills, kitchen screens and printers all talk to the box over your own network. The internet dropping changes nothing inside the building.
How offline worksYour POS, on a box in your back room.
The same TableDesk as our cloud, running on a small box in your venue. Your orders stay in the building, and the internet becomes optional.
Your data
Orders never leave the building.
Your orders, staff and takings live on the box. Checking in from home stays off until you switch it on.
Backups
Backups as often as every 5 minutes.
Automatic backups to a disk or a storage bucket you choose: daily, weekly, or as often as every 5 minutes. The box checks that the latest one really restores.
Wi-Fi
The router dies, the Wi-Fi doesn't.
Switch it on and, if your router fails, the box brings up your venue's Wi-Fi itself. Phones, tablets and TVs reconnect by themselves.
Setup
Tills find the box themselves.
A new till looks for the box on your network by itself. Add it from a manager's phone, type or scan the code that phone shows, and it's ready. Nobody signs in on a kitchen screen.
Screens
No limit on screens.
Every till, kitchen screen, kiosk and waiter's phone runs on your own box, so there is nothing to count. Add as many as the venue needs.
Two ways to run a box
Self-hosted or fully offline.
Both are a yearly licence per place, with every feature and no limit on screens.

Self-hosting questions
What if the box breaks?
Your backups bring the venue back on another box. Keep the recovery key the box gives you somewhere safe: without it nobody, us included, can open the backups.
Can we still see the venue from home?
On Self-hosted, yes, once you switch it on. On Offline, only on the venue's own Wi-Fi, since the box never connects to the internet.
Can we start on the cloud and move to a box later?
Yes. It's the same software, and your orders, menu and staff move with you.
