Bring Your Own Device

Don't buy hardware you don't need.

If you already own a Windows PC or iPad, you can get started with MangoPOS today — no new hardware required. We'll configure your existing device remotely during onboarding.

Works with devices you already own
Any Windows 10+ PC, laptop, or all-in-one. Any iPad 9th gen or newer. If you have it, you can use it.
Offline-capable for load shedding
MangoPOS stores orders locally when internet drops and syncs automatically when connection returns. Essential for South African operations.
Remote setup & onboarding included
Our team walks you through setup over a screen share. Menu loading, printer pairing, station mapping — all done together before your first shift.
Multi-station support
Run multiple devices as registers, kitchen displays, or bar screens simultaneously — all on the same account with no extra per-device fees.
No hardware lock-in
Use your existing devices or upgrade later. MangoPOS adapts to your hardware — not the other way around.
