Built to Work Hard: A Deep Dive Into Savor Live POS Hardware
Build a Counter That Runs Fast, Looks Sharp, and Grows With You
Savor Live pairs flexible software with reliable, cost smart hardware. Use the iPad you already own. Add a sturdy display stand, a secure cash drawer, a fast card reader, and a dependable receipt or kitchen printer. The result is a clean counter, faster checkout, and gear that scales with your shop without draining your budget.
A modular setup means you buy only what you need today and add more pieces as you grow. Everything connects cleanly to the Savor Live app so orders, payments, and prints flow without friction.
Display Stands: Clean, Secure, and Customer Friendly
A good stand makes your front counter feel pro. It keeps the iPad stable, tilts toward guests for tips and signatures, and protects the device during rush.
Why it matters
Smooth swivel for customer facing prompts
Cable management for a tidy counter
Solid base to prevent drops or slips
Works with many iPad sizes so upgrades stay easy
Cash Drawers: Fast Cash Handling When You Need It
Even card heavy shops take cash. A connected drawer keeps the line moving and reduces end of day stress.

Steel construction with lock and key for security
Organized till that speeds closeout and counts

Lower payment friction means faster lines and more orders per hour
Durable gear reduces downtime and service calls
E receipts cut paper use while printers handle the jobs that need paper
