Choosing Kobas as your EPoS and complete hospitality management software is a great decision. Now, the next step is determining the hardware you’ll use to run your EPoS system in-venue.

At Kobas, we partner with Oxhoo, providing their reliable hardware integrated with our software. When you purchase hardware through us, it’s yours to keep, and we’ll assist with warranty management, repairs, installation, and usage.

We also understand the importance of reducing environmental impact and managing costs. Whenever possible, we aim to make Kobas compatible with the hardware you already own or purchase elsewhere. However, please note that we cannot guarantee compatibility in every case.

The hardware we sell will:

• Be covered by the manufacturer's warranty
• Be shipped directly from a nationally renowned supplier
• Be Kobas-ready, with the required cabling*

* Power and network cables are included with each item. Additional cabling may be required.

** These items are not manufactured by Oxhoo.

Other products are available and all of your requirements can be discussed with your Account Manager, Implementation Manager, or the Support Help Desk.

Using tablets for MPoS or MKDS

Using tablets as a till and/or KDS screen is a great way to expand your in-venue solution at a lower cost, and gives you great flexibility. We would always urge caution however in using tablets as your primary hardware in-venue because:

• These rely on a Wifi connection, which adds more chance of failure.
• We cannot remote into these devices to provide in-service fast support.
• Generally will slow or stop working should your internet drop for any reason.

Larger venue servers

For venues that process a significant number of orders and tabs, please discuss the most appropriate server solution with your Implementation Manager. We would always suggest that venues taking more revenue, and with a greater number of tills should have a dedicated server. This will dramatically improve your venue's reliability and redundancy should things go wrong.

Due to our commitment to the environment 🍃and with an awareness that sometimes finances can be limited 💰, we will attempt to reuse old or third-party hardware for you to run your Kobas software. Our system runs on the Linux operating system, and we require 64GB of HDD / SSD space as a minimum. We cannot use Windows-only hardware.
