# Hardware Requirements To facilitate reading and interpretation of hardware requirements, they are broken down in 3 tiers: #### Minimum The minimum requirement is the bare minimum that will allow Veloce to operate adequately, without any consideration for possible expansion or "future-proofing". #### Recommended The recommended hardware configuration should yield adequate performance in most situations and provide headroom for future expansion of the system. #### Large Sites / High Volume The hardware configuration for large sites should yield adequate performance in restaurants using 20 or more POS workstations. This requirement also applies to restaurants with high volume of orders where the number of POS workstations may not be as high as 20, but where the POS Workstations are in near-constant use. *** ### For the Veloce Back-Office | Hardware | Minimum | Recommended | Large sites | | -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Operating System | [See Operating System Requirements](https://docs.payfacto.com/payfacto-knowledge/veloce-pos/veloce/hardware-and-software-requirements/operating-system-requirements) | [See Operating System Requirements](https://docs.payfacto.com/payfacto-knowledge/veloce-pos/veloce/hardware-and-software-requirements/operating-system-requirements) | [See Operating System Requirements](https://docs.payfacto.com/payfacto-knowledge/veloce-pos/veloce/hardware-and-software-requirements/operating-system-requirements) | | CPU |
