Technology is hard for non-technologists. POS is definitely not an exception. It’s why we often cry foul (for shareholders) when non-technologists take a “not invented here” mentality and try their hand at technology to arrive at klugey, overpriced solutions. And there are no worse technologists than brick and mortar merchants.
If you want to do technology right, you have to remove it from the hands of non-technologists. Such is the story of ITWERCS, a cloud POS incubated at a large restaurant chain only to be spun off for a shot at success.
