The box is LidoOS POS on your premises: the same set of features as in the browser, plus your printers and devices in the house — and an evening that carries on even when the internet is down.
Set up your box
You put the installation stick into the computer that is going to stay with you and start it. The assistant asks for the LidoOS address, the activation code from Nova, country and currency — that is all you need for the first start.
In Nova you create the activation code for your venue and enter it on the box. After that the box knows which business it belongs to and pulls menu, rooms, tables and staff. Pairing waiter handsets is just as easy: scan the QR code at the till, done.
Waiter handsets, kitchen screens, customer display and pickup screen all register with the same box. You see which device is connected and when it last reported in, and you can sign a device out again at any time.
The box searches your network for printers and shows you what it found. You decide which one prints the guest receipt, which the kitchen ticket and which the closing, and name a stand-in for each. A test print tells you whether it all fits.
Because the POS server stands in your house, you send orders, take payments and print as always — receipts included. Service notices nothing. Whatever has to go outside is collected by the box and sent as soon as the line is back.
In Nova you see for every venue whether the box can be reached, which version it runs, which printers and screens are registered and when they last reported in. New releases are fetched by the box itself — you do not have to touch anything on site.
LidoOS Copilot
No AI in this module
Setup, devices and printers are operated by you. No model makes decisions here.
You pair, name and release.
If you use the AI waiter, it works in Nova — the box carries out what arrives as an order.
Nova and the box
Your business is managed in Nova. The work happens on site.
The limits
A computer that can stay with you, and a working network in the house. For installation and setup you need the internet once, so the box can connect to your venue. Printers, screens and displays sit on that same network.

Short answers
No. LidoOS POS runs in the browser from the cloud or on the box in your restaurant, with the same set of features. The box adds two things: the evening carries on when the internet is down, and your printers and devices connect straight to it.
Payments, orders and receipts carry on, because the POS server stands in your house. Whatever has to go to Nova or to online services is collected by the box and sent as soon as the line is back.
A computer that can stay in your restaurant, a network in the house and the internet once for installation and setup. You get the activation code in Nova. Which printers and devices you connect, we discuss before the start.
The captures show the sample restaurant Via Palermo with invented devices and transactions. The scenes with the box on the counter are illustrated.
