Example setups

How Pittsburgh businesses set it up.

Setup: FigurePOS with a kitchen display, and online ordering for pickup.

A bar on the North Shore

Packed before and after every home game.

Setup: MicroSale with pre-authorized bar tabs and tableside tablets, so servers aren't stuck at the register.

A roofing company in the South Hills

Older homes, steep roofs, and a deposit on every job.

Setup: Payments that work alongside LEAP, with deposits collected by payment link before work begins.

A bakery in Lawrenceville

A morning rush and holiday cookie trays by the hundred.

Setup: Clover at the counter, with deposits on big holiday orders collected by payment link.
