What it does
-
Tills and screens
- STAK’s till runs in any modern browser: on an iPad, an Android tablet, a Windows PC or a Mac.
- It installs like an app, keeps selling offline and syncs when the internet is back.
- Any device can be a till, a waiter’s handheld, a self-order kiosk, a kitchen screen, an expo screen, a customer display, an order board or a menu screen.
-
Receipt and kitchen printers
- Network (LAN) ESC/POS receipt and kitchen printers, 58 or 80 mm, through the STAK hub.
- Star CloudPRNT printers connect to STAK directly, with no hub.
- Kitchen tickets print as a picture, so every staff language comes out right, with a backup printer or screen if one stops.
- Receipts print from any printer your device can print to, as an 80 mm page.
-
Label printers
- ZPL printers such as Zebra, TSPL printers such as TSC and Xprinter, and ESC/POS label printers.
- Through the STAK hub or Star CloudPRNT.
-
Barcode scanners
- USB and Bluetooth scanners that type like a keyboard work straight away.
- Scan with the device’s camera in browsers that support barcode detection.
- Use a phone as the till’s scanner.
- Serial and network scanners from Zebra, Honeywell, Datalogic and Newland through the STAK hub.
-
Scales
- Mettler Toledo and Ohaus SICS scales, CAS and Adam scales, and scales that send a plain weight line, through the STAK hub.
- In Chrome and Edge on a computer, a serial or Bluetooth scale connects to the browser directly.
- Label scales: barcode layouts you set, and a PLU file for the scale.
-
Cash drawers
- A drawer plugged into an ESC/POS receipt printer opens on every cash sale.
- Or a drawer on a drawer controller connected to the STAK hub.
-
Customer displays
- A second screen in the browser shows the customer the order and the total.
- CD5220 and Epson DM-D pole displays through the STAK hub, in Latin letters.
- Menu screens, order boards, digital signage and a price checker.
-
Card terminals
- Adyen card terminals on your own Adyen account: the till sends the amount to the terminal.
- Stripe Terminal readers on your own Stripe account, in the countries Stripe Terminal serves.
- You contract with the provider, and the money settles straight to you.
-
Time clocks, kitchens and doors
- ZKTeco, eSSL and Anviz push time clocks, Hikvision face and fingerprint terminals, and older ZKTeco terminals through the STAK hub (implemented, not yet tested on a physical device).
- Kitchen bump bars over USB or Bluetooth.
- Smart locks on your own Seam, Nuki or TTLock account.
-
The STAK hub
- A small bridge for the devices on your shop’s network: network printers, scales, pole displays and serial scanners.
- It runs on a Raspberry Pi, a Linux computer or a Mac, installed with one line or with Docker.
- Star CloudPRNT printers and card terminals do not need it.
Good questions
Do I have to buy hardware from STAK?
No. STAK works with the devices on this page, wherever you buy them.
What is the STAK hub, and do I need it?
A small program on a device in your shop’s network that links network printers, scales and pole displays to STAK. You do not need it for Star CloudPRNT printers, card terminals or ordinary barcode scanners.
Which printer works with an iPad?
Star CloudPRNT printers directly, network ESC/POS printers through the STAK hub, and any printer your iPad can print to for an 80 mm receipt.
