      • If you have tablet and printer in your kitchen or behind a bar, be careful to not place it anywhere it can get water damage, or be exposed to oils, grease etc. Have paper and sanitizers handy to quickly wipe the device.
      • You can test this by simply going into the app, and test print a receipt (make a new order if needed).
