"Heartland POS was probably the smartest thing I’ve done in the restaurant business."

"Our ability to take Heartland Restaurant and use their open source and their API to improve the customer experience has made all the difference in the world."

Matt Klabacka

FAQ

The two most common types of point of sale systems are called on-premise and cloud. An on-premise POS means you have a physical server at your business with data stored on it locally.

Cloud-based POS systems with cloud POS software can be run across a variety of operating systems (iOS and Android®) and devices, since your data is securely stored in the cloud. Heartland POS systems, including Heartland Restaurant, Heartland Retail, Mobile Pay and Terminal+, are all cloud-based POS systems.
