Tour of Hardware

Summary

Get a quick overview of Hardware in Selio, so your team understands how devices, printers, fiscal equipment, and kitchen screens fit into one operational setup.

Before you begin

  • Make sure you know which Selio products the location will use
  • Confirm whether the business runs table service, quick service, delivery, or a mixed model
  • Review which hardware already exists at the location and what still needs to be added
  • Make sure the team understands the difference between primary devices, payment devices, kitchen screens, printers, and fiscal hardware

Steps

  1. Open the Hardware area or review the hardware setup flow relevant to your Selio environment.
  2. Identify the main device types used in the location.
  3. Review which devices are used for POS, kitchen, delivery, and payment.
  4. Check where printers and fiscal devices fit into the operational flow.
  5. Review how Android devices are used in daily service.
  6. Confirm which hardware is essential for go-live and which hardware is optional or role-specific.
  7. Make sure the team understands how hardware supports the live Selio workflow from order to payment to closing.

Troubleshooting

  • The team sees hardware as one generic setup topic: Split it into POS devices, printers, fiscal devices, KDS screens, and payment devices.
  • Owners buy hardware before defining workflow: Decide the operating model first, then choose the hardware.
  • Staff confuses device setup with account setup: Keep hardware readiness separate from user roles and sign-in configuration.
  • A location has devices but still feels unready: Confirm that devices are assigned to the correct operational role, not just powered on.
