Genius is a restaurant management system that allows you to add on any combination of our marketing, third-party delivery and other specialized integrations to address your unique needs.
All the ways to pay — limitless, easy, secure
It eliminates a lot of mistakes in the kitchen. It’s impacted the kitchen to work and communicate a lot better. That makes my job a lot easier.
One of the big things in being successful is having a great point of sale system behind you, giving our servers more time with the customers and less time at a point of sale system. [This] POS was probably the smartest thing I’ve done in the restaurant business, and the key is speed.
We’re able to drive more revenue because we make it really easy for the guest, and so that’s a really great use of the point of sale.
