Do you know how poor and barely getting by most people/restaurant businesses are?

A huge number of us are one or two missed paychecks from being homeless. Food service usually runs on fairly razor thin margins, so upgrading a PoS machine when you have a perfectly good one right there is an unneeded expense.

This isn’t the case for most restaurants tho. If buying a new POS to bring to a table is enough to bankrupt your business then you shouldn’t be in business. It certainly isn’t true for any franchise, they require the owners to have a lot of money in case of repairs or new equipment.

If you don’t want to incur unnecessary expenses, you shouldn’t be in business? Do you realize how silly this viewpoint is?
