Apple iPads are the core of the POS system, and are used as both handheld terminals and countertop stations. In addition to iPads, you can customize your TouchBistro setup with additional hardware, such as cash drawers, printers, payment terminals, and more. For our full list of hardware options, visit our hardware page.

If you temporarily lose internet connectivity at your restaurant, your TouchBistro devices will still be able to communicate with each other so you can continue taking orders and payments. However, some features, such as access to your reports, will be unavailable until your internet connection is restored. To enjoy the full functionality of your TouchBistro system, a stable internet connection and compatible hardware is required.

Switching to TouchBistro is simple and straightforward. Start by connecting with our team to determine the right hardware and software setup for your restaurant. Depending on your current setup, you may be able to use some of your existing hardware. If you need to purchase new hardware, you can do so directly through TouchBistro.
Once you’ve set up your hardware, our team will help you with everything from onsite networking installation to importing your menu.
