It supports offline bakery and ready-to-eat item recognition and new item training, making it a reliable choice for restaurants, cafés, and bakeries with limited or unstable network environments.

No cloud dependency. No delays. Just fast, smart performance—anytime, anywhere.

Cloud Computing – End to End Updates
