Frequently Asked Questions
How many devices can I connect to Kounta at a time?
Kounta is cloud-based and can be accessed from anywhere with internet.
Back Office - If you are wanting to make changes to your Kounta Account, view reports, manage users, edit products, view stock, and similar functions, you'll need to access the Back Office. For this part of the app, you can have as many people logged in at one time as you need.
Point of Sale - The number of devices that can access POS (at the same time) depends on how many registers you've set up from the Back Office. It is best to have one register per device that is used to take orders.
Should I use a mobile phone or tablet for taking orders?
Mobile devices with larger screens are great for this because you get a better view of everything at once. Learn more about iPad / Android / Windows Device Best Practise.
