Separate one-device trouble, internet trouble, and provider trouble before taking a big action.

What this means

A failed terminal can have a different cause from a failed connection or a provider-wide incident.

What to do first

1. Check whether one device or every device is affected. 2. Test the internet from a phone. 3. Check the provider’s current status information. 4. Use the restaurant’s approved fallback process.

When to leave it alone

Do not change settings or switch companies that run the tools during service unless the business has a tested plan.

Your next move

After the rush, record what failed and what backup would make the next outage less disruptive.

Can I take payments without internet?

Read the current provider documentation and your approved process before relying on any offline feature.

Should I reboot everything?

First identify whether the problem is one device, the network, or the provider.
