This articles discusses QSR operating system support for Elo products.
A QSR operating system refers to the software platform used to run Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) systems. These systems are typically used in fast-food chains, cafes, or other food service operations to manage order processing, payments, inventory, and customer service.
QSR systems can operate on various types of operating systems, depending on the hardware and software solution used by the restaurant.
You will need to know which operating system is running on your device in order to select the correct touch driver. If the device is running an embedded or proprietary operating system, you will need to contact QSR Support for assistance with touch driver updates and installation.
Some common QSR operating systems include:
-
Windows: Many QSR systems, especially those using point-of-sale (POS) terminals with touchscreen interfaces, run on versions of Microsoft Windows (e.g., Windows 10 IoT or Windows Embedded). Windows is favored for its familiarity and compatibility with a wide range of software.
-
Android: Android is also commonly used in QSR systems, particularly for touchscreen kiosks and handheld devices. Android-based QSR systems are known for their flexibility, ease of use, and compatibility with various custom applications.
-
Linux: Some QSR systems, especially those requiring stability and security, use Linux-based operating systems. These systems are often preferred in environments that require custom solutions or where open-source software is heavily utilized.
-
Proprietary Systems: Some QSR vendors develop their own proprietary operating systems optimized for their hardware and software solutions. These systems are often streamlined for the specific needs of the restaurant or food service industry.
The choice of operating system depends on the specific needs of the restaurant, the hardware in use, and the software applications required for daily operations.
