Groupon has been growing some non-deals services in the past few years, I wonder if that's what's finally paying off?
My restaurant uses their POS+payments platform moderately successfully (for certain values of success, the POS world is awful). It's a side of Groupon that most people don't know exists, that I think makes sense.
- wallyhs 12y agoOur restaurant also uses Groupon's POS and payments system. "Moderately successful" is how I would put it, although version 2 has improved things considerably. There is pressure to find a better POS, but I have yet to see one that I like. Most other point-of-sale systems that I've seen either fall short on everyday things like splitting checks, or they're technologically terrifying. The last demo I saw was of a cloud-based system with online reservations, and it looked alright up until I realized that the terminal was running Windows XP. This was last fall.
