What should a business in Fort Lauderdale, FL ask before choosing a point of sale?
Two questions, and neither is about the terminal. First: how long does a card sit open before it is captured? On Las Olas, where rooms turn tables faster than almost anywhere we work, that gap is where the quiet problems live. Second: what is your closing procedure — not your closing button — meaning adjustments after the guest has gone, splits across staff, and a report payroll can use without anyone re-typing it. The Federal Reserve's 2026 Diary of Consumer Payment Choice found 38% of consumers now preferring a credit card in person, up from 24% in 2016 and nearly level with debit at 40%, so most of an evening's money arrives through the flow you are choosing between — which means it should be tested at your peak rather than at noon.
In short:A closing procedure that needs somebody to re-type it on Sunday is not a procedure — it is a second job nobody agreed to.

Las Olas, Flagler Village, and what a fast room needs
Rooms on Las Olas turn tables faster than almost anywhere else we work, and the cost of that speed shows up in two places nobody looks at until it hurts: how long a card sits open before it is captured, and what happens to a tab when the guest walks to the bar and back.
Tips are the other half. A room where most of the money arrives as tips has a closing procedure, not a closing button — adjustments, splits across staff, and a report the manager can hand to payroll without re-typing it. When that flow is wrong the shortfall is quiet: it does not appear on any statement, it appears in the schedule when good servers stop picking up shifts.
Flagler Village and Wilton Manors run a different clock again — later, more bar-weighted, more open tabs at once. Before recommending anything we ask how many tabs are live at 11pm on your busiest night, because that single number decides more about the hardware than the square footage does.
