Android, you say? We are so there.

Download the Kounta App for Albert
And of course, how could we not be compatible with Albert?
So if you already use Albert, no need to change hardware. Kounta and Albert are practically best buds.
Case Study - When Pablo and Rusty’s started with Albert, they enjoyed better customer service, seamless store management, and world peace! (Okay, maybe not world peace quite yet.) Watch the Albert and Kounta dynamic in action!
Before downloading, make sure you have an activated Commbank Albert from Commonwealth Bank (and ideally connected to the wifi for a faster download).
Go to the AppBank and search for Kounta POS.
Once the app is downloaded, enable the Kounta on Albert integration.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many devices can I link to Kounta?
Kounta is cloud-based and can be accessed from anywhere with internet.
If you are wanting to make changes to your Kounta Account, View reports, order stock or manage your staff - this can all be done from the back office - you can have as many people logged in at one time as you need.
If you are taking orders on the POS (we sometimes call this a register) then there is a limit to the number of devices you can be taking orders on simultaneously.
Should I use a mobile phone or tablet for taking orders?
Time for order-taking! 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.
What will happen if the Internet dies?
We’re all afraid of the internet dying. It’s one of the things that bind humanity.
It’s a good thing Kounta can work offline. Yes, you read that right.
During the period of Internet service outage, data is stored in the device. When the Internet comes back (and thank goodness for that!), the data will then be transferred to the cloud and it’s like nothing happened! Learn more about Using Kounta offline.
What if I get stuck?
Hospitality doesn’t sleep - so neither do we. Our Support runs on Hospo time - 24/7
What's my next step?
You’re all set. But before you get going, you'll probably want to double check you have your device with all the right settings - we wrote a guide on iOS, Android & Windows best practises for you.
Have you got the rest of your hardware yet? If you're not sure what hardware you'll need, we've got your back. We have the list of supported printers and, even some recommended layouts.
