Introduction

Welcome to the Kobas Community! Here at Kobas, we understand our responsibility to provide a rock-solid venue till system and Cloud-based hospitality business management platforms. We strive to find a balance between ensuring your tills work even if your internet is down and giving you the ability to manage your business from anywhere in the cloud.

If your internet is down, it will send the information to the cloud when it reconnects.

	Only use your fingers on your touchscreen tills Using hard implements such as cards or utensils can damage the screens and stop them from functioning.
	Contact us before you move hardware or make changes to your network Hardware configuration may become invalid if changes are made and this can stop equipment from functioning correctly
	Your In-Venue network is separate to the Kobas system Any network issues or questions should be directed to your internal IT Administrator.
