One installer. Every major restaurant POS brand. Pick the system that fits your concept — full-service, quick-service, food truck, ghost kitchen, or bar — and we handle menu build, KDS routing, online ordering setup, and tableside payment training.
The right restaurant POS system depends on your service model. A full-service steakhouse with 15 servers needs tableside handhelds, course firing, and tip pooling. A 60-seat quick-service counter needs self-ordering kiosks, KDS routing, and line-busting handhelds. A food truck needs 4G LTE, offline mode, and tap-to-pay. A ghost kitchen needs multi-app order aggregation from DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub.
Merchant Solutions Corp is an authorized reseller for every leading restaurant POS — Skytab (Shift4's enterprise platform), Clover (open-processor flexibility), Square for Restaurants, Talech (iPad-native), and Union (bars and nightclubs). We help you pick the right system, then handle install, menu programming, KDS configuration, online ordering setup, and staff training — typically live within 5 business days.

For full-service restaurants we recommend Skytab Pro (Shift4's enterprise restaurant POS with tableside handhelds and native KDS) or Clover Station Duo + Clover Flex handhelds (mid-market open-processor option).
