The right POS might be
the one you already have.
Changing processors does not always mean changing your point of sale. Tell us what you use and how your business runs. If the platform can stay, we leave it alone.
If it cannot, or it is slowing you down, we help you choose, configure and support a better fit.
Your POS is one decision.
Your processor is another.
You can like the system your team uses and still dislike the pricing or support behind the payments. You can also have fair processing attached to a system that slows the business down. Those are different problems, and they do not require the same fix.
If your platform supports another processor, you may be able to keep it and change only the processing. If the system itself is the problem, we help you compare replacements. We check both before recommending anything new.
What we may tell you
Keep everything
Your current system works, the pricing is fair and changing would not improve enough to justify it.
Keep the POS. Change the processing.
The software works, but the processing price or support relationship needs to change.
Change the POS.
The system is costing your team time, creating errors or getting in the way of how the business runs.
Compare the fit.
Not the logo.
We configure, install, train and support all six. Each is strong in different places, so we start with how your business works and narrow the list from there.
Clover
Flexible for restaurants, retail and service businesses that want a broad app and integration ecosystem.
Square
Familiar, quick to learn and flexible for businesses that want to start simple and add more over time.
Quantic
Cloud based restaurant and retail software with strong operational tools and more flexibility in processor choice.
KORONA POS
Built for inventory heavy, multi location and ticketing businesses that need more control behind the scenes.
Union
Built for busy bars and nightclubs where speed, open tabs and high volume service matter.
SumUp
Straightforward point of sale for smaller operators that want payments, inventory and customer tools without a complicated setup.
Sometimes one of these six is the right answer. Sometimes a terminal is enough. Sometimes you should keep what you have.
Don't buy a full POS
If a terminal will do.
If your business does not need menus, inventory or a full point of sale system, a payment terminal may be the better fit. You get a straightforward way to accept cards without paying for software your team will not use.
Depending on the model, processor and program, these terminals can also support dual pricing, cash discount or surcharge.
Dejavoo
Android terminals for straightforward card acceptance, with dual pricing available on supported setups.
Valor PayTech
Android terminals with options for dual pricing, cash discount and surcharge on eligible setups.
Four questions before anyone mentions a brand.
Every one of these changes the answer more than the logo on the front of the box does.
What happens at your busiest hour?
Twelve covers waiting on one terminal is a different problem from a three-hour job invoiced from a truck. Throughput decides form factor before anything else.
Who is typing on it at 7pm on a Friday?
A seasonal hire who started Tuesday needs a layout they can learn in ten minutes. That constraint outranks feature lists.
What else has to know about the sale?
Inventory, accounting, online orders, a booking system, payroll. Every integration you skip becomes somebody re-typing numbers.
What happens when it fails?
Everything fails eventually. What matters is whether the answer is a person tonight or a ticket on Tuesday.
The close
Tell us the counter. We will not pick a box in a form before we hear the shop.
Your business model
Changes the answer.
Where you take payments, what happens before the sale and what needs to happen after it all change the right setup. Start with the business you run.
Restaurants & bars
Speed, open tabs, tips, split checks, handheld ordering, kitchen workflow and a Friday night rush that cannot wait.

The box should not be
Your implementation plan.
When you need a new system, we help get it configured, teach your team how to use it and plan the transition before the busiest part of your week becomes the test run.
Configured before go live
When the platform supports it, we build the users, items, menus, modifiers, tax settings and other available configuration before your team starts using the system.
Training with a real person
We walk your team through the workflows they actually use. Training may be in person or live by video, depending on the system, location and setup.
A planned cutover
When the setup allows it, we test the new system alongside the old one before the final switch. If it cannot run in parallel, we map the cutover so everyone knows what happens and when.
Going live is the beginning of the relationship, not the end of the install.

Check our work anyway.
Use the AI assistant you already use. The prompt asks it to compare the systems on this page with major alternatives using current sources, then explain the tradeoffs before you choose.
Compare POS systems before I choose one.
Check total cost, processor flexibility, hardware, integrations, support and who each system actually fits. Cite current sources.
Each button opens the same detailed research prompt in a new tab. Nothing is submitted until you send it.
