Goal
Determine whether hardware is undersized for demand.

Steps
1) Identify KDS device specs:

• CPU
• RAM
• Storage type
  2) Compare against observed peak volume.
  3) If device is borderline:
• Reduce screen complexity, OR
• Split workload across more KDS stations.
  4) If hardware is adequate → proceed to P-000125-05.

Escalation Trigger

• Repeated peak lag on capable hardware suggests software inefficiency.
