What is POS?

POS stands for Point of Sale. It refers to the place where a customer makes a payment for goods or services and where sales taxes may become payable. A POS system is typically a combination of hardware and software used to process transactions, manage inventory, track sales, and often manage customer relationships. Common examples include cash registers, barcode scanners, credit card readers, and computer systems running POS software used in retail stores and restaurants.
