Hardware Recommendations

In short: Tanhe doesn't have high performance requirements, but it has high demands for "continuous online" operation, so the choice of host device is crucial.

Can I run the host client on a mobile phone?

Technically yes, but strongly not recommended.

The reasons are practical:

• Screen lock/background processes are easily killed
• Overheating can cause throttling or even disconnection
• On-site, you'll still need to use it for payments/communication, making misoperations likely

It is recommended to use a laptop or tablet as the host device.

Are there performance requirements for the device?

Requirements are very low:

• Any Windows PC capable of running the latest version of Chrome/Edge
• Or a tablet/phone with Android 8.0+

can run it smoothly. Using older devices as "customer ordering terminals" is also a great way to repurpose them.

Does the screen need to stay on all the time?

• The host client is recommended to keep the screen on, or set "Never Sleep" in the power settings
• Customer-side tablets are recommended to set "Screen Always On" to avoid the screen suddenly going black during customer ordering.
