Important caveat
“Supports” can vary by:
- hardware model
- country/processor
- subscription tier
- whether KDS is native or third-party
- how offline mode behaves (full order-taking vs limited payment authorization)
If you want, I can also give you a comparison table with:
- offline capability details,
- EMV provider compatibility,
- KDS options,
- pricing style,
- and best fit by restaurant type.
