What’s included

What does POS setup include?

A POS is more than a card reader. It runs your menu or inventory, your printers, your payments and your end-of-day numbers. We set up every part and make sure it all works together.

Choosing the right POS

We compare Clover, Square, Toast and others for your type of business, your budget and how you take orders.

Best for: Owners not sure where to start

Menu or product setup

We load your items, prices, modifiers, taxes and categories — or your full product list with barcodes.

Best for: Getting it right the first time

Hardware setup

Terminals, card readers, receipt and kitchen printers, cash drawers, barcode scanners and scales — connected and tested.

Best for: A counter that just works

Online ordering

Online orders from your website sent straight to your POS and kitchen printer, where your POS supports it.

Best for: Pickup and delivery orders

Staff training

Taking orders, payments, tips, refunds and closing out the day — so your team is confident before you open.

Best for: New staff and new systems

Ongoing support

New items, price changes, a new printer or a new location — a real person to call when you need a hand.

Best for: Busy owners

Which POS?

Which POS system is right for my business?

It depends on how you sell. Restaurants need tables, modifiers and kitchen printers. Grocery stores need barcodes, scales and big product lists. Your free plan compares the options for your business and budget before you buy anything.

FAQ

POS setup questions

Which POS systems do you set up?

We set up Clover, Square, Toast and other POS systems. If you already have a POS, we can work with the one you have.

Which POS is best for a restaurant?

It depends on your service style. Full-service restaurants often choose Toast or Clover for tables and kitchen printers; quick-service spots often choose Square or Clover. Your free plan recommends the best fit for your menu and budget.

Which POS is best for a supermarket or grocery store?

Choose one that handles barcodes, scales and a large product list well — Clover and Square are common choices for grocery and convenience stores. We help you compare before you buy.

Can you switch me from my old POS?

Yes. We move your menu or products to the new system, set up the hardware, train your staff and plan the switch so you don’t lose a day of sales.

How much does POS setup cost?

It depends on how many devices, items and locations you have. POS subscriptions and card processing fees are paid to the POS company; our setup fee is quoted separately in your free plan.

Can online orders from my website go straight to my POS?

With many POS systems, yes. We can set up online ordering on your website that sends orders straight to your POS and kitchen printer.
