How terminals, printers, and displays fit into the Ellich ecosystem.

On this page

Ellich is designed to work with restaurant-grade peripherals: tablets, printers, payment terminals, and customer displays.

Principles

  1. One source of truth - Orders and payments should flow through Ellich so your reports stay accurate.
  2. Pairing - Follow your administrator's pairing steps for each device; do not swap terminals without updating configuration.

Common roles

  • POS terminal - Primary order-taking and checkout.
  • Receipt printer - Guest and staff receipts.
  • Payment device - Card or wallet capture where integrated.
  • KDS screen - Kitchen display for production.

Before you go live

  • Run a small real transaction where policy allows.
  • Print a test receipt and confirm branding and address lines.
