In short
Servire needs no special hardware: an iPhone with Tap to Pay and the digital receipt are enough to start. A restaurant with a fixed POS, kitchen printer and cash drawer is fully equipped from around €800, Servire costs from €39 a month plus VAT with TSE.
What do you really need?
The only must is one device with the POS app. Everything else comes when your business needs it.
Order devices for service
One smartphone per server, so orders are taken right at the table.
Not needed if all orders are entered at the fixed POS.
Receipt printer at the POS
Prints receipts for guests and opens the cash drawer.
Not needed without a cash drawer, if guests scan the digital receipt via QR code.
Cash drawer
Connects to the receipt printer at the POS and opens by itself for cash payments.
Not needed if your team carries a server wallet.
Card reader
SumUp, Stripe or your bank's ZVT terminal.
Not needed with Tap to Pay on the iPhone, with Stripe also on Android.
Kitchen printer or kitchen display
Orders from the POS arrive in the kitchen as a ticket or on a screen.
Not needed if food is prepared at the counter.
Ordering kiosk
Guests order and pay on a screen themselves, with Servire Max.
Not needed without self-service.
Router and Wi-Fi
Printers connect to the router by cable, tablets and phones via Wi-Fi, also on the terrace.
Without internet you still take orders, accept cash and print on your own network.
Bundles for your business
Every bundle is available in full on Amazon, so you order everything at once. Three price tiers and an option with refurbished Apple devices.

Questions before you buy
What restaurant owners ask us most before buying their first devices.
Only if you want a cash drawer or guests should get paper receipts, because the cash drawer connects to the receipt printer at the POS. Without a cash drawer you hand out receipts via QR code and the kitchen printer alone is enough.
Yes. You plug the cash drawer into the receipt printer at the POS with its RJ11 or RJ12 cable. For cash payments the POS app opens it through the printer. Nothing connects to the iPad itself.
One network cable per printer, from the printer to the router. It does not come with the printers; the Epson TM-T20III, for example, only includes the power supply and power cable. That is why the bundles list it separately. The cash drawer usually comes with its cable to the printer, tablet, phones and card reader connect wirelessly.
No. Servire uses the certified cloud TSE from fiskaly, included from Solo, as is the DATEV export. You only buy the devices.
Solo is enough as long as one POS device works at a time, such as a fixed POS. Printers don't count as devices. If servers should take orders at the table, you need Pro. You can switch at any time, see the pricing page.
Yes, if it supports ZVT, and most terminals do. The POS then sends the amount to the terminal by itself. Alternatively, connect SumUp or Stripe.
A network cable with a fixed IP address is the most reliable. Bluetooth usually connects only one device and suits a food truck or a single POS.
If the printer sits close to the grill, fryer or heat lamp, choose an impact printer such as the Epson TM-U220, because thermal paper darkens in heat. Away from the heat, a thermal printer such as the TM-T20III is fine, or use a kitchen display.
Yes, if it runs iPadOS 17.6 or later. For used devices we recommend the iPad 9 and the iPhone SE (2022) or newer, so updates keep coming for a few more years.
No, Apple only allows Tap to Pay on the iPhone. On the iPad you need a card reader such as SumUp Solo or a ZVT terminal. With Stripe you can also use Tap to Pay on Android smartphones.
So you can buy a whole bundle in one order. Servire sells no hardware and gets no money for any link. You can buy every device elsewhere too, and with Amazon Business your business gets invoices showing VAT.
Start with the device you already own.
Download the POS app, set up your menu, ring up the first receipt. Add a printer and card reader when you need them.
