Aptito Setup & Support

 

On their website, Aptito has simple setup instructions available. The company claims it’s as easy as registering, customizing your menu and floor plan, and then downloading and installing the Aptito POS program on your iPad or iPhone.

The Aptito POS software is compatible with any iPad version iOS10 and up.

A cash drawer is optional and may be provided for you depending on your plan.

Customers will need a receipt printer and a kitchen/bar printer. Aptito recommends Star TSP-100 for the receipt printer and Star TSP-100 or Star TSP-700 for the kitchen/bar printer. Aptito may also have its products available to fit these needs.

Other than that you will need a Wi-Fi router and internet connection.

Restaurants may also decide to use a terminal menu or kiosk, as well as an iPhone/iPod terminal, or a local server, though all of these items are optional.

A support number is easy to find on the Aptito website. The company offers best-in-class customer support in either English or Spanish.
