Other Requirements
To guarantee an optimal experience with Roasting Intelligence (RI), it's important to consider the following additional requirements:
- A stable internet connection is required for Roasting Intelligence (RI) to download profiles, green lots, machines, and workers, authenticate usernames, and upload roasts to our servers.
💡 You'll need to download and run RI while connected to the internet at least once; afterward, you can roast without an internet connection but will need to connect to update your inventory or reference curves and to receive updates. - While the software was not specifically designed for a touch screen, all of the comment buttons work well with a touch screen.
- RI will not run on an iPad or Chromebook.
