PDA used
for taking orders
The PDA is used to take
wireless table orders. Just about any PDA that runs Microsoft
Pocket PC 2003 or later, or the Microsoft®
Windows® Mobile 5.0 operating system will
work. It is recommended that you get a PDA that has the ability to
have a backup battery charging in the cradle while you are using the PDA
to take orders. This will give you more flexibility if you do not
get a chance to charge your PDA in between
customers.

Wireless
Network
It is also recommended
that you test your wireless network thoroughly before going into
operations. One access point is usually not enough for most
restaurants. Your signal should be very good anywhere you go in
the restaurant. Since there is potential for high amounts of
interference in a restaurant, more access points are always
better.
