What are the best POS systems for small businesses?

    Square, Toast, and Clover dominate retail and restaurants. For service businesses that occasionally take in-person payments, tap-to-pay built into your invoicing app is enough.

    A full POS system makes sense if you're running a counter — receipts, hardware, kitchen tickets, etc.

    For mobile service businesses, a phone with tap-to-pay is the POS. Glo Invoice supports tap-to-pay on supported iPhones, so you can swipe a card on the spot and the invoice closes immediately.

    If you ever outgrow that, Stripe's Terminal hardware integrates cleanly.
