FAQs
What is a countertop POS system?
A countertop POS system is a fixed workstation that helps your team take orders, send them to the kitchen, manage transactions and take payments from a designated location in your restaurant. A Maitre’D countertop POS can be configured with a POS workstation, customer-facing display, payment terminal, cash drawer and other peripherals to suit your restaurant’s workflow.
What should I consider when choosing a countertop POS?
When choosing a Maitre’D countertop POS, consider your restaurant’s service style, available counter space, screen size, workstation configuration, processor and operating system (such as Android or Windows), payment setup, connectivity and required peripherals. Also consider how many POS stations you need and whether you plan to add mobile POS devices as your restaurant grows. Not sure which setup is right for your restaurant? Speak to our team for help choosing a suitable configuration.
What payment devices can I use with a Maitre’D countertop POS?
Maitre’D works with a range of compatible payment devices, including countertop terminals, mobile terminals and PIN pads. Depending on your setup, you can pair a customer-facing payment device such as the PAX Elys Tablet A3700 with your Maitre’D POS workstation.
Can I connect a cash drawer, receipt printer, scanner and other peripherals?
Yes. Maitre’D countertop POS setups can support a range of restaurant peripherals, including cash drawers, receipt printers, barcode scanners, payment terminals, customer displays and other compatible devices. Available connections and peripherals depend on the workstation you choose.

What is the difference between a countertop POS and a mobile POS?
A Maitre’D countertop POS is a fixed workstation designed for a designated location such as a counter, bar, host station or service station.

Many restaurants use both as part of their Maitre’D setup.
