The lineup · What it needs · What it costs

Hardware: none.

Every screen in AtTable is a web page that installs to a home screen and runs full screen. So the hardware decision is one you made years ago — with whatever’s in the office drawer.

The lineup · Six objects

Registering a device asks one question.

Not nine checkboxes — just what is this? You name an object you can point at, and the answer decides what it may do and which screens it opens on.

What a device needs

Five things. None is a model number.

An approved-tablet list is obsolete the month it's written. If what you own does these five things, it works.

A recent browserChrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, kept updated. No app store — the terminal installs itself to the home screen.
Wifi it can rely onThe till queues orders through a dropout, but guest phones, the kitchen display and card authorisation need the network. A safety net, not a way to run on bad wifi.
Enough screenTen inches or more on the pass — tickets are read at arm’s length. A handheld is a phone. The clock runs on anything.
Installing, on AppleAdd it to the home screen from the browser's Share menu, then sign in inside the installed app.
Mains powerAnything mounted should be on a cable, not a battery. The least interesting line here — and the likeliest to cost you a service.
What you might buy · Neither from us

Two objects a browser cannot be.

One reads a card, the other puts ink on paper. Both optional — until the wifi goes.

01 — Optional

A card reader

AtTable drives readers you already have on Stripe, Square, Clover or SumUp. The reader stays yours, on your merchant account. We never hold the money.

Plenty of venues never buy one: guests pay from the bill on their own phone.

02 — Insurance

A receipt printer

Any 80mm or 58mm thermal printer, from the browser’s own print dialog. Day to day the kitchen display does this job better.

In an outage it’s the only way a round rung on the till reaches the pass. If your connection is weak, this is the cheapest insurance on the page.

What the hardware line comes to.

Our side of the sum only. Nothing for us to sell you, so nothing for you to be sold.

Hardware from usNoneNo terminal, no bundle, no hardware line on the invoice.
Hardware contractNoneNo three-year lease. Leaving costs the subscription you stop paying.
What you spendA tabletIf the pass has no screen, a mid-range tablet and a stand. Bought from whoever you like.
When one diesReplace itBuy another on a Saturday, register it, revoke the old one. No engineer, no RMA.
What you take on

Supplying it yourself cuts both ways.

It's the right trade for almost every venue — but it is a trade, and a page listing only the upside would be selling you something.

You own the devicesA tablet that won’t charge is yours to replace. In exchange, nobody holds your floor hostage over a lease.
You own the wifiMost "the system is down" calls are a router. We’ll help read what happened; we can’t fix the access point from here.
Consumer tabletsNot sealed, not drop-rated, not built for a wet pass. A £40 case earns its money.
The till survives a dropoutStaff keep ringing rounds from a saved menu; each prints a ticket and sends itself once you’re back, never twice. What stops: guest ordering, the kitchen display, and card authorisation.
Optional · Android

Two apps, for the three things a browser will not do.

Everything above runs as a web page. These exist only where that is not enough — and most venues never install either.

Ring the passA browser will not make a sound until somebody has touched the page, and a pass display is opened once and left for a whole service.
Stay litThe kitchen web page doesn’t hold the screen awake, so set auto-lock to Never, or use the Android app.
Survive a wipeA web view’s storage is erased by a reinstall, which puts a paired till back on the pairing screen mid-service.Download for Android

Bring the tablet. We’ll do the rest.

A demo runs on whatever you're reading this on. If it works here, it works on the one in your office drawer.
