Here we go again. Want to thank everyone who helped with my last POS project. Sad to say that one is going to the basement to join all my other unfinished projects.

Looking at this software https://www.pointofsuccess.com/ Cost of software will be about $1000

Point of Success Hardware Requirements

Got debit card from restaurant owner. Lets buy some hardware. See Elo touchscreen monitors at the Post Office. Post Man seems to like poking at them. See lots of used Elo 1715L 17" Touchscreen Monitors on eBay.

Resolution question?
Touch panel or touch monitor: Elo Touchsystems LCD touch panel is recommended, with other brands of touch panels and monitors supported. Touch display must support Windows mouse control. Minimum resolution of 800 x 600 is required (1024 X 768 in Point of Success Version 3). Higher resolution touch displays will allow more work area and permit easier navigation.
8 x 6 = 1.33
800 x 600 = 1.33
1024 X 768 = 1.33
The way I figure this out is divide 8 / 6 answer is 1.33

Elo 1715L 17" Touchscreen Monitor is 1280 x 1024 and that would be 1.25 according to Marty math. See Other Supported Resolutions here:
1715L 17" Touchscreen Monitor
1280 x 1024 60, 75 Hz
1280 x 960 60 Hz
1152 x 864 75 Hz
1024 x 768 60, 70, 75 Hz
1024 x 768 65 Hz (Sun)
832 x 624 75 Hz (Mac)
800 x 600 56, 60, 72, 75 Hz
720 x 400 70 Hz
720 x 350 70 Hz
640 x 480 60, 72, 75 Hz
640 x 480 66 Hz (Mac)

What is Hz? Think that this question does not need to be asked and 1.25 is close enough to 1.33
 
Progress report - Got 4 used Elo 1715L 17" Touchscreen Monitors. Look like they have been cleaned real good and come with new cables. Waiting for E191105 Replacement Stand from Amazon. Stupid slow shipping from Amazon.

Here is a preliminary list of hardware:
2 - Elo 1715L 17" Touchscreen Monitors for taking orders. One will be on top of:
APG Series 4000 Cash Drawer JB320-BL2020-C
Epson TM-T88V POS Receipt Printer
Epson DM-D110 Customer Display
Verifone VX805 credit card reader - Vantiv processing.

3 - Epson TM-U220 Receipt/Kitchen Printers in different areas of the kitchen.

On the Point of Success Hardware Requirements page see:
Technical Requirements

Requires a Windows Server operating system with Remote Desktop Services (also called Terminal Services).
Windows Server Essentials, Server 2008 and Server 2012 are supported.
If choosing between Server 2008 and Server 2012, Server 2008 is recommended for easier Remote Desktop Services configuration and reduced hardware requirements
How would one go about choosing a computer to run this Windows Server 2008?
