You need a receipt, but your MINI suddenly shuts down?

Especially in extreme temperatures – whether it's freezing cold or blazing hot – this can happen when using the device on the go. The reason: the built-in thermal printer doesn’t always cope well with harsh weather conditions. While we can’t fully prevent hardware-related issues, you do have a simple alternative: skip the paper printout and use a digital receipt instead:

  • You can easily send digital receipts by email: Send invoices by email 
  • Or show the digital receipt directly on the screen – no printing required: eReceipt

Keep your MINI going strong

To make sure your orderbird MINI runs as smoothly as possible, we recommend the following:

  • Protect the device from wind, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
  • Keep the battery well charged or connect the MINI to a power source whenever possible.
