Hardware Requirements
LaundryVerse runs in any modern browser — no app install, no special hardware. You can sign up and explore the dashboard from a laptop today, then add equipment as your shop grows. The setup below is what most shops land on for day-to-day operations.
Recommended for the Front Counter
Tablet (POS Terminal)
The main point-of-sale device where employees create orders, process payments, and manage the Kanban board.
- Any Android or iPad tablet with a 10" or larger screen works well.
- Browser: Chrome (recommended) or Safari.
- Internet: a stable Wi-Fi connection.
- Mounting: a tablet stand or wall mount at the counter keeps the screen accessible during busy hours.
Don't have a tablet yet? You can still run the POS from a laptop or a spare phone while you're setting things up.
Thermal Receipt Printer
For printing customer receipts and QR labels that employees scan at each station.
- Connection: USB or Bluetooth, connected directly to the tablet.
- Supported widths: 58mm or 80mm paper rolls.
- Recommended models: any ESC/POS-compatible thermal printer (e.g., Xprinter, Epson TM series).
Receipts can also be sent by SMS or just shown on-screen — a printer isn't strictly required to take orders.
Cash Drawer
For secure cash handling during shifts.
- Connection: RJ11 cable into the thermal printer's kick port — the printer triggers the drawer to open automatically.
- Compatibility: standard RJ11 cash drawers work with most thermal printers.
Cash drawers are optional — if you only accept GCash or bank transfers, you can skip this entirely.
Optional
Vault / Safe
For storing cash between shifts. LaundryVerse tracks vault deposits and withdrawals, but the physical vault is up to you.
Smartphones (for Stations)
Employees use their own smartphones to access Stations — the mobile interface for scanning QR labels and advancing laundry loads through each stage (wash → dry → pack → claim).
- Any modern smartphone with a camera and browser (Chrome or Safari).
- Internet: Wi-Fi or mobile data.
- No app install needed — Stations runs in the browser and can be added to the home screen as a PWA.
