# 📲 Tablet/Device Recommendations

## Use this guide when choosing or replacing tablets for running the Slerp app in your stores.

### 1. Purchasing a Tablet

When selecting a device for front-of-house or kitchen use, we recommend:

- An **IP rating of 6 or higher** (dustproof, splash‑resistant or waterproof where possible)
- A **stable Wi‑Fi connection** in the area where the tablet will be used
- A **reliable power source** (we strongly recommend keeping the tablet plugged in during service)

### 2. Recommended Tablets

#### **Android**

The Slerp app is optimised for Android as long as the device can still be updated to a recent supported Android version (see OS section below).

Recommended Android models include:

- **Samsung Galaxy Tab A11** (preferred Android option for most partners)
- Other current‑generation Samsung Galaxy Tab devices that meet the specs below

If you are purchasing new tablets, we recommend choosing the Samsung Galaxy Tab A11 or a similar‑spec Samsung device.

#### **iOS**

#### The Slerp app is optimised to run on iOS using any recent iPad model that can still be updated to a recent supported iOS version (see OS section below). You can download the iOS app from the App Store.

### 3. Minimum Specs (Android & iOS)

If you already have an Android or iOS tablet, you can usually use it with Slerp, but older/under‑spec devices may cause performance issues.

We recommend:

- **Operating System (OS)** 
    - **Android:** latest stable Android release, currently **Android 16**, or **within 2 major versions below** 
          - Recommended: **Android 14** newer.
    - **iOS:** latest iOS release, currently **iOS 26**, or **within 2 major versions below** 
          - Recommended: **iOS 17** or newer.
- **Memory (RAM)**: **4 GB or above**
- **Screen size**: **8" or larger**

If your device is significantly older (cannot update to a current OS version, or has less than 4 GB RAM), we strongly recommend upgrading.

### 4. Next Steps

Once you’ve confirmed your device:

1. Follow our [**Tablet setup**](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/tablet-setup?hsLang=en) guide to install the Slerp app and enable automatic updates.
2. Once your device is ready, you can set up a compatible printer in the Slerp Partner App under **Settings → Devices**.
   
   Printers can now connect over **WiFi, Ethernet, or Bluetooth**, depending on your preferred setup.
3. Place a [**test order**](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/placing-a-test-order?hsLang=en) to check notifications, sound, and printing behave as expected.

If you’re unsure whether a specific device model or OS version is suitable, please share the exact model name and OS version with our support team and we’ll confirm before you purchase.
