Hardware, edge & device compatibility

Hardware ownership, care and responsibility

Speedway is designed for professionally managed operations. Each business is responsible for choosing suitable devices, keeping them charged, connected, updated, physically secure and ready for staff use. Hardware supply, rental, warranty, repair, replacement, insurance or managed-device services are handled only under a separate written agreement.

• Businesses control the phones, tablets, POS terminals, kitchen screens, customer displays, printers, routers, power supplies, stands, mounts and cabling used in their operations.
• Reliable Speedway operations depend on strong internet service, mobile data, Wi-Fi coverage, backup power and local network stability.
• Secure operations use device passwords, screen locks, correct staff access, current operating systems and updated browsers.
• Speedway provides compatibility guidance while each business, crew member, driver or device owner keeps control of device purchase, suitability, protection, repair and maintenance decisions.

Best practice: validate specialist hardware with the intended Speedway workflow before buying in bulk. Restaurant printers, cash drawers, barcode scanners and customer displays perform best when matched to the exact venue setup.

What type of app is Speedway Super App?

Speedway Super App is an ultra-modern Hybrid PWA platform built with the latest generation of web and app technology. It is designed to be fast, stable, secure and device-agnostic across modern phones, tablets, desktops and managed venue screens. Businesses launch Speedway from a secure web address, install it to modern device home screens, and run one lightweight app family across Go, Crew, Central, POS, KDS/SDS, CDS and BOH without forcing every workflow into a separate traditional app.

• The app is designed to keep critical operational information on the device first, then safely synchronise with Speedway Core when internet connectivity returns.
• POS, KDS, CDS and compatible local printing workflows can continue across the local venue network, so a temporary internet drop does not have to stop the counter, kitchen or customer display.
• Users open Speedway through a secure web address, install it to compatible home screens, and use packaged app builds for deeper device capability when required.
• Orders, tickets, screen state, device actions and workflow updates are treated as local-first operational data, then queued, reconciled and updated to the core as the network allows.
• Best performance comes from current browsers, correct device permissions, quality camera/GPS hardware, strong local Wi-Fi, healthy battery settings and well-maintained devices.
• For best results, businesses should treat Speedway devices like operational terminals: powered, updated, secured and connected to a reliable local network.

In plain English: Speedway uses modern Super App architecture to deliver app-like speed, security and stability with wider device reach than a traditional single-platform app. It is built for real businesses, real teams and real networks — including the days when the internet decides to be dramatic.

Hardware commercial treatment

Hardware sold through the Speedway marketplace carries the database-configured non-food sales commission of 2.5%. Payment processing, tax, delivery, installation, rental, deposit, replacement, warranty, managed-device and other service charges remain separate according to the applicable agreement.

Supported device categories

These practical guidelines help businesses choose devices that deliver fast, reliable Speedway performance. The strongest results come from current browsers, capable chipsets, healthy storage, strong Wi-Fi, clean background-app management and well-maintained devices.

Recommended minimum hardware by module

These module-level recommendations are tuned for daily operations because Speedway is engineered for fast screens, accurate tracking, reliable notifications, strong camera workflows and responsive POS/kitchen performance. Technical architecture includes secure HTTPS, installable app behaviour, packaged device capability and durable local operational storage for high-performance modules.

Practical rule: 4 GB RAM is the absolute floor, 6 GB RAM is the restaurant operations standard, and 8-16 GB RAM is preferred for management, BOH and control-tower work.

Feature requirements by workflow

Network, power and venue readiness

Most hardware problems are actually network, power or device-maintenance problems wearing a fake moustache. For busy venues, treat connectivity and charging as part of operations, not an afterthought.

• Use reliable broadband or business-grade mobile data for business operations.
• Place Wi-Fi access points where POS, KDS, CDS and BOH screens are actually used.
• Keep chargers connected for fixed screens and keep spare charging cables available.
• Consider backup internet or hotspot procedures for critical venues.
• Avoid running production operations on guest Wi-Fi, overloaded routers or devices with very low storage.

Recommended operating standards

• Current operating systems, updated browsers and devices receiving active security updates.
• Secure business-controlled devices with trusted operating systems and clean security status.
• Operational devices with enough memory for fast, stable daily work.
• Devices with healthy cameras, accurate GPS, responsive touch screens and strong batteries.
• Kiosk devices with current browser/WebView updates and active maintenance access.
• Specialist POS hardware validated with the intended Speedway workflow before rollout.

Printers, scanners, cash drawers and peripherals

Speedway supports modern browser-based operations and structured peripheral workflows when devices, operating systems, browsers and local networks are correctly matched. Peripherals perform best when validated with the exact venue setup before rollout.

• Network receipt printers are usually the strongest option for managed venues and should be validated with the exact POS workflow.
• Bluetooth printers suit mobile crews best when paired with strong device management and clear charging routines.
• Cash drawers, barcode scanners, label printers and weighing scales work best after local compatibility validation.
• Peripheral support is delivered through validated device, driver, cable, adapter and vendor utility combinations.

Security and staff access

Business devices should be treated as operational terminals. Keep them locked down, updated and assigned to the right staff role.

• Use strong device passwords, PINs or biometrics.
• Avoid sharing owner/admin logins with casual staff.
• Remove access when staff leave or devices are lost.
• Use separate devices for kitchen/customer display where possible.
• Report lost devices or suspicious account activity immediately.

Recommended buying checklist

• Choose devices with at least 4 GB RAM for basic use and 6 GB RAM for busy restaurant operations.
• Prefer recent Android, iPadOS, iOS, Windows or macOS devices that still receive updates.
• Use larger screens for POS, KDS, CDS and BOH. Phones are fine for mobile users, not ideal for full restaurant control.
• Check Wi-Fi strength exactly where the device will sit.
• Test camera, GPS, receipt printing, notifications and login before launch day.
• Buy one test unit before buying many units.

Best practical setup for a restaurant: one POS tablet or desktop, one dedicated KDS screen per kitchen station, one optional customer display, one BOH/admin laptop or tablet, stable Wi-Fi and a tested receipt-printing path.
