Onboarding: Site Requirements Guide

To ensure that your site is ready to install your Precision hardware, please follow this Site Requirements Guide.

Introduction
Your business has already begun the implementation process, but there are a few onsite requirements you will need to ensure our services work properly.  We would like to get you up and running as quickly as possible, so please make sure that your site is already equipped with the necessary wiring and placement to install the hardware where you would like.
This would include:
  1. working internet
  2. direct access to the network
  3. power for the devices
Please be aware that the cost of cabling services is not provided by Precision and is therefore not included in your quote. Should you require professional help, Precision can recommend you a Field Technician to assist. Their services are not covered by Precision POS.

Quick Site Checklist
  1. Power is available within 7 ft of each Precision device. This would include:
    1. Point of Sale Terminals
    2. KDS Screens
    3. Kitchen Printers
    4. Receipt Printers
    5. Credit Card Devices
  2. Your internet modem is turned on and has a port available for Precision.
  3. Network cables are run to each place where a Precision device will be located.  
  4. All network cables should have ends (RJ45) on them
  5. All network cables are run back to the designated central networking area.
  6. For restaurants with ceilings over 10 ft height or larger establishments, access points might need to be installed.
  7. Point of sale work areas should have a dedicated space for the hardware and holes to accommodate the cables (power, ethernet).
  8. Wall mounts are installed (if applicable).

Construction We do not recommend installing your hardware prior to, or during, any onsite construction. Hardware can be easily damaged and will not be replaced. Wiring may get unplugged or moved, resulting in time-consuming fixes. Please consult us at 1-855-673-3700 with any questions you may have.

Internet Requirements

  2. If public WI-FI is available to your consumers, it should have its own dedicated connection

Network Requirements
  1. Category 5e or greater network cable should be used
  2. Network cable shouldn't be run along electrical or any high voltage lines
  3. All network cables should be terminated with either an RJ45 cap or keystone jack (wall plate with female connector)
