Check Network, Power, and Device Readiness

Summary

Check network, power, and device readiness so the restaurant starts service with hardware that is stable, charged, connected, and operationally ready.

Before you begin

  • Review all critical devices used in the location
  • Confirm which devices are essential for POS, kitchen, payment, printing, and fiscal flow
  • Make sure the team knows who owns the opening hardware check
  • Use the check before service begins, not after the first issue appears

Steps

  1. Review all active devices before service starts.
  2. Confirm each device has power or enough battery for the expected shift.
  3. Check that each device is connected to the correct network or communication path.
  4. Open the required Selio surface on each device and verify it loads correctly.
  5. Confirm the correct business, location, or station appears on each device.
  6. Run a quick functional test on the most critical hardware paths.
  7. Resolve any weak point before the restaurant starts trading.

Troubleshooting

  • A device turns on but is not ready for service: Opening the screen is not enough; confirm sync, role, and live function.
  • A device has battery but no operational stability: Recheck network quality and placement.
  • Power is available but the device is at the wrong station: Physical placement errors create operational errors.
  • The team assumes setup from yesterday is still safe today: Treat readiness as a shift-opening check, not a one-time installation task.
