• Fresh KDS Account.‍

• Dedicated Tablet.
  Fresh KDS was built to run on iOS 13+ and Android Tablets.

• Strong Wi-Fi Connection.

• Assigned Static IP address for your tablet (Strongly Recommended)
  ‍A Static IP address will prevent your tablet's IP address from changing. If your IP address changes, your Point of Sale could disconnect from Fresh KDS.

*Note: Fresh KDS will not work if you use your RDY device as a hotspot.
