Groupon Enters mPOS Space, Launches Restaurant iPad App

Groupon has entered the restaurant POS system market with a new offering called Breadcrumb, an iPad-based mobile POS application. With the restaurant-focused app, Groupon is going head-to-head with traditional restaurant POS providers such as OpenTable, Aloha and MICROS, and will compete with mobile payment leader Square.

Items such as cash drawers, receipt printers and the bane of chefs everywhere — kitchen order printers — can be incorporated into the mobile POS system. Managers use Breadcrumb to dive into sales, food costs and labor information, and to receive reports via email.

Breadcrumb runs only on the iPad for a monthly fee to restaurant establishments, with no long-term commitments required. Clients either can use their own iPads or purchase them through Groupon at cost.
