I wonder if there are any grants available for a project like this? That would probably be the best way to get something like this going, but it would be more for the greater good as opposed to a business.

Most restaurant/bar specific POS systems are water resistant for exactly that reason. I'm sure it that's happened though, that's why it's "water resistant" and not "water proof". So lets say it happens to your iPad POS and you run down to t

My startup is in point-of-sale as well (retail, not hospitality). I'm curious as to why you chose to go with iOS? I'm not saying it's a good or bad choice, but it definitely is the current fad in the POS market. I'm focused on the lower end
