POS Systems and Payment Processors We Review
These are the POS systems, terminals and payment processors we see most on restaurant and bar statements. We review statements from merchants on Clover, Square, Heartland Genius, Dejavoo, PAX, Korona, Union, NMI, Hyfin and more. Each page below is a neutral guide: who it fits, key features, how it works at a restaurant or bar, and what to check on your statement.

Processor questions
1Are you a reseller for any of these POS systems?
No. We are not an official partner or reseller of any POS brand. We review statements from merchants on Clover, Square, Heartland Genius, Dejavoo, PAX, Korona, Union, NMI, Hyfin and more.
2What is the difference between a POS, a terminal and a processor?
A POS runs your orders, menu and checks. A terminal is the device that takes the card. A processor moves the money and charges the processing fees. One company can provide all three, or each can come from a different company.
3My POS is not listed. Can you still review my statement?
Yes. These are the systems we see most, not the only ones. Send one recent statement from any system and we will read it the same way.
4Why are there no prices on these pages?
Pricing depends on who sold you the system, your plan, your hardware and your volume. Any number here would be a guess. Your statement shows what you actually pay.
Whatever you run, we will read the statement.
