Why POS Needs Vary By City
Every market has unique challenges that affect which POS system is the right fit.
Nightlife Culture
Miami's bottle service demands different features than Nashville's honky tonks or Chicago's sports bars.
Labor Regulations
Tip pooling laws, minimum wage, and scheduling requirements vary dramatically by state and city.
Competition Density
High-density markets like NYC require speed and efficiency that slower-paced cities don't demand.
Seasonal Patterns
Tourism spikes in Orlando, sports seasons in Denver, festival crowds in Nashville — all need different POS strategies.
New York City
Massive density, constant POS churn, complex operations, high processing fees. The most competitive hospitality market in America.
Chicago
Independent bars, vibrant nightlife, union labor considerations, strong POS replacement cycle. Four-season market with sports-driven peaks.
Miami
Nightclubs, lounges, bottle service, tourism-driven volume. International clientele demands multi-currency and high-end service.
