Genius by Global Payments FAQs
Genius by Global Payments is a modern business management and POS solution made up of a suite of products, including point of sale systems for businesses of all sizes — from small retail and service businesses all the way to complex high volume operations, such as QSRs.
- Mobile payments
- Quick service restaurants
Genius is a secure cloud-based solution that allows you to process payments confidently using advanced PCI-DSS compliant technology, including blocking third-party access of payment data thanks to end-to-end encryption and tokenization.
Restaurants can connect their Genius platform to several major third-party delivery platforms, including Uber Eats. The fully automated, bi-directional Uber Eats integration syncs menus, pricing, availability and order flow in real time.
If you prefer to handle delivery in house, you can use the built-in online ordering functionality that lets restaurants manage their own delivery options directly. A user-friendly driver management system allows you to confidently assign and track your drivers in real time — all the way until the delivery is completed.
In addition to delivery, we will work with you to select the best possible integrations for your business needs. Depending on the Genius solution, you can access built-in tools while others require third-party integrations.
A kitchen display system (KDS) is a digital screen used in place of paper order tickets in a restaurant. When a guest places an order, it's instantly routed to the appropriate kitchen station — grill, prep, fryer, etc., on a digital screen.
With the Genius platform, you get a modern KDS that syncs seamlessly with your point of sale system. Orders are automatically routed to individual or groups of screens with the greatest capacity to fulfill based on a list of orders.
This real-time sync between your restaurant systems helps eliminate errors, speed up order prep and improve communication between the back and front of house.
Restaurant digital menu boards are digital screens that allow you to update pricing, promotions and menu content in real time. Genius digital menu boards integrate seamlessly with your Genius POS software, so you can update menu item prices across multiple locations all from one place.
Yes. Genius multi-lane drive-thru technology is AI-powered and includes a camera vision that fully integrates with the rest of Global Payments’ Genius solutions. With unlimited lane support, real-time vehicle tracking and order sync, every car gets the right order — even when lanes merge — and fulfillment is easy for staff.
Outdoor digital menu boards enhance the drive thru experience and allow you to make updates in real time, ensuring guests always see the most accurate availability and prices.
