Got a question? We can help

What’s the difference between a cash register and a Point of Sale system?

A cash register stores cash and rings up simple transactions. A Point of Sale system is software and hardware together — it processes the sale, but it also manages inventory, tracks sales data, handles every payment method and runs your back office. Genius does all of that with payment processing built in rather than bolted on.

How much does a retail Point of Sale system cost?

It depends on how many registers you need, what hardware you want on the counter and how you take payments. Tell us about the store and we will put real numbers in front of you — no guessing games.

Can I use Genius for more than one location?

Yes. Genius supports multiple stores with a single view across all of them, real-time syncing of pricing, discounts and customer data, and unified reporting on top.

What payment methods are supported?

Credit and debit cards, contactless, digital wallets, gift cards and split tenders — so you can meet customers on whatever they pull out of their pocket.

What hardware works with Genius?

Commercial-grade equipment built to last: countertop touchscreens, handhelds, card readers, plus the receipt printers, cash drawers and barcode scanners you would expect. We spec it for your counter and install it ourselves.

Who installs it, and who do I call when something breaks?

We do, and you call us. POS Specialists has been putting registers on counters since 1991 — our own technicians, trainers and project managers handle the install, the training and the support afterwards. One number, real people.

Tell us what you sell and how you sell it. We will spec the counter, quote it honestly and install it ourselves.
