The logo on the terminal is not the whole system. Hardware, payment processing, apps, support, network, contract, replacement timing, and closeout all matter when the room is full.

• A quote that leaves out processor, reseller, app, hardware, or support terms.
• Tabs, tips, modifiers, printers, or offline steps skipped in the demo.
• Support responsibility split among several companies.
• A cutover scheduled without staff training or fallback.

• Write ten ugly rush-hour orders and the nightly close.
• Run them on the exact hardware and plan quoted.
• Read payment, term, cancellation, support, and replacement terms.
• Document network, offline, cash, and escalation procedures.
