Food service POS systems that make the grade
Deliver better college experiences with Genius™, the do-it-all POS tech that improves food service management in every corner of campus.
Serve up smart dining and food service
Streamlining every mealtime, location and user within a unified university cafeteria POS system? That’s Genius. Rely on flexible tools that adapt to the unique workflows and traffic patterns of college dining halls. Plus, user-friendly tech instantly syncs operations from anywhere.
Optimize front and back of house operations
Food service success depends on two critical resources — inventory and staff. Genius helps you balance both with precision. Manage back of house workflows, menus, pricing and product availability from a centralized college dining POS system. With a single platform, updates appear instantly across every POS terminal, kiosk and digital menu board.
Handle peak times with ease
When the lunch rush hits, Genius keeps lines moving. Our flexible ecosystem of university food service POS systems and self-service kiosks, plus OrderAhead, scales seamlessly to meet demand — ensuring every student gets what they need, when they need it.
Effortlessly accept campus cards
Go beyond cash, debit and credit. Genius supports campus card payments, as well as multiple tenders and meal plans, so students can pay using the credentials they already carry on their phone or in their wallet. It’s fast, secure and fully integrated with your existing college food service POS system.
