**iPad Internal Storage Requirement:** The lowest offered will work with Resy OS.

**WiFi or Cellular iPad:** While not a requirement, we recommend an iPad with cellular data in case the restaurant's WiFi signal is low or cuts out unexpectedly.

**New or Refurbished:** We encourage you to buy a Certified Refurbished iPad for cost savings directly from the [Apple Store](https://www.apple.com/shop/trade-in?afid=p238%7CsAe8Aycon-dc_mtid_1870765e38482_pcrid_454735290233_pgrid_49394210830_pntwk_g_pchan__pexid__&cid=aos-us-kwgo-ipad--slid---product-), or obtain one from another retailer like [Walmart](https://www.walmart.com/browse/apple-brand-shop/apple-ipad/3944_1229722_1229728?&adid=22222222254810299352&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=420315859169&wl4=dsa-871673960390&wl5=9067609&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&veh=sem&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIooqmk4W1-AIVKk1yCh1XPQs-EAAYASAAEgIz5_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) or [Target](https://www.target.com/c/ipad-tablets-e-readers-electronics/-/N-5586q), which often offer discounts. You can shop around for the best deals in your area. 

### **How to Hardwire your iPad**

To hardwire the iPad, you'll need **2 pieces of equipment and an ethernet cable**. If you were previously on an OpenTable terminal, you should have a port at the host stand.

**Equipment Needed** 

*   [Lightning to USB3 Adapter](https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MK0W2AM/A/lightning-to-usb-3-camera-adapter?fnode=85)
*   [USB to Ethernet Adapter](https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MC704LL/A/apple-usb-ethernet-adapter)
*   Ethernet Cable (Buy the shortest cord possible for your needs)

**Instructions**

1.  Plug the Lightning to USB3 Adapter into the iPad charging port. This allows a USB to be plugged in while simultaneously charging the iPad.
2.  Plug the USB to Ethernet Adapter into the USB port from Step 1.
3.  Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet Adapter and the ethernet port.

If hardwiring the iPad is not an option, we recommend adding an additional router close to the host stand or using a WiFi range extender.

*   [Mini Router](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/netgear-rangemax-n600-dual-band-wi-fi-router-black/1208844.p?skuId=1208844)
*   [Apple AirPort Express](https://support.apple.com/airport)
*   [Wifi Extender](https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-N300-Range-Extender-EX2700/dp/B00L0YLRUW/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1526493090&sr=1-3&keywords=wifi+repeater&pldnSite=1)
