Performing a survey of your store 

Surveying your store/business has many advantages, including optimal hardware placement for power outlets and cabling; network reliability so your Wi-Fi coverage and bandwidth is sufficient for your needs; security considerations to place sensitive hardware or payment terminals in the most secure locations; cost efficiency to prevent rework or relocating equipment after installation.

Consider the following as your survey your store/business:

• Refer to article talech Network Requirements and Recommendations to verify your internet connection method and requirements to run the software of your POS. 
• For customer flow, consider placing devices where they are most accessible and convenient for both staff and customers.
• Make sure the location for your devices is level, clean, and not subject to excessive heat or moisture, as this may damage the equipment.  
• Ensure your devices have access to power and network connection points (ethernet, Wi-Fi connectivity, etc.).
