I’m interested in the Pro version. Do I need to purchase a Mac Mini with the Server version of the OS?
No. You need a Mac Mini with the typical consumer-level OS installed. The TouchBistro uses the Mac Mini in a server like fashion to store your restaurant data and keep all your iPads in sync. However, purchasing the server version of OS X is an unnecessary expense. See this document for complete details about TouchBistro's hardware requirements.
