Serving businesses throughout Boston
Boston's rushes come from several calendars at once. Downtown counted 181,955 payroll jobs in 2023, so Downtown Crossing's shops and lunch counters ride the weekday office crowd, plus students from Suffolk and Emerson. The Seaport's convention center hosted 136 events and more than 500,000 attendees in 2024. Fenway and Kenmore follow the Red Sox, home from early April to late September. The Back Bay gets Marathon weekend in April and Newbury Street shoppers all year, and the North End's saints' feasts run through the summer, ending with Saint Anthony's in late August. Then, around September 1, about two-thirds of the city's apartment leases turn over and thousands of college students arrive at once.
Install day depends on the block. Back Bay storefronts include basement and parlor-floor shops in Victorian row houses, and the architectural district's guidelines want utility equipment inside and visible cable equipment kept to a minimum, so plan printer and network runs indoors. North End shops sit in historic brick buildings on narrow cobblestone streets, so settle where the installer parks before the day. During Marathon week the city posts no-stopping zones on Boylston between Exeter and Dartmouth, and the days around September 1 bring moving trucks and heavier traffic, so pick another date. If your staff are students, plan to retrain every semester. We train on the floor, and after go-live your calls reach a local tech who can be on-site the same day anywhere in Boston.
We work with businesses in and around the North End, Back Bay and the Seaport, and throughout the rest of Suffolk County. If you're near Fenway Park or the Hynes Convention Center, you're well inside our service area.

Why buy this locally
Support quality is invisible at purchase and obvious six months later. That asymmetry is why this industry is full of cheap hardware and unreachable vendors. We are betting the opposite way: configure it properly up front, then answer the phone.
Anyone can ship a box to Boston. What they can't do is drive here when your register stops taking cards at 6pm on a Friday. Call (617) 958-8599.

Learn moreHow a Boston install actually goes
Tell us what your business does
A phone call or a form. What you sell, how many stations you need, what's failing now. No sales script and no pressure — we're trying to figure out whether we can actually help.
We quote hardware and a rate
A specific hardware list and a processing rate to compare, in writing. Free, with $0 due today, and we'll tell you the term on any option. If your current rate is already good, we'll tell you that too.
We configure before we arrive
Your menu, catalog or service list built and checked ahead of install day, so your staff isn't entering items while customers wait.
We install on-site and train your team
On your counter, on your floor, with live card testing and offline mode verified. Role-specific training and a reference sheet left behind.
We answer the phone afterward
Same local number, same techs. Most issues resolved the same day, on-site. This is the part that matters six months from now.
Boston, MA: common questions
Do you actually come out to Boston?
Boston is in the core of our service area. Same-day, on-site support is routine here — a call that comes in during the morning is usually resolved that day. Boston is in Suffolk County, which is inside our six-county service area, and we work businesses throughout it. Call (617) 958-8599 and we'll tell you what today looks like.
How fast can you get a system installed in Boston?
Most Boston setups are live within about two weeks of approving the quote. That window is mostly configuration and hardware delivery, both of which we handle. If you're opening on a fixed date — or your current system is actively failing — tell us and we'll work backward from your date.
Which parts of Boston do you cover?
All of it, plus the surrounding towns. We regularly work businesses in and around the North End, Back Bay and the Seaport, and out through the rest of Suffolk County. If you're just outside Boston, call anyway — the service area is wider than most people assume.
Can you set up a POS in a Newbury Street row house without running cable on the outside of the building?
Yes. The Back Bay Architectural District's commercial guidelines say utility equipment should go inside the building and the appearance of telephone and cable equipment should be minimized, so we plan the network gear and cable runs indoors from the start. If anything would touch the facade, check with your landlord and the Back Bay Architectural Commission first.
When should I avoid scheduling a POS install in Boston?
Avoid Marathon week if you're near Copley. In 2026 the city posted no-stopping zones on Boylston Street between Exeter and Dartmouth from April 9 to 24. The days around September 1, when about two-thirds of Boston's apartment leases turn over, bring moving trucks and heavier traffic, so use your free quote call to pick a date that works around both.
What happens if our internet goes down?
Offline mode keeps taking cards and queues them to settle when the connection returns. We test this on install day by physically disconnecting your internet, so you've seen it work before you need it.
Are you a processor or a reseller?
We sell, install and support POS hardware and software, and we help you get a competitive processing rate through the platforms we work with. We'll always tell you in writing who holds your merchant account and what the term is before you sign anything.
Do you actually answer the phone?
Yes. Call (617) 958-8599 during business hours and a local tech picks up. That's the core of what we sell — if you want a cheaper box with a support email address, that's available from a lot of places.
How much does a POS system cost?
It depends on two things: the hardware, which is a one-time cost, and your processing rate, which is ongoing. We won't give you a fake number here, and we won't do the 'call for pricing' runaround either — tell us what your business does and we'll give you a specific hardware list and a rate to compare, free, with $0 due today.
What areas do you serve?
Six counties across Greater Boston: Suffolk, Middlesex, Norfolk, Essex, Plymouth and Worcester. Same-day on-site is routine in the core of the region; for the outer towns we'll give you a straight answer about response time when you call.
How long until we're up and running?
Most setups are live within about two weeks of approving the quote. That time is mostly menu or catalog building and hardware delivery, both of which we handle. If you're opening on a fixed date, tell us the date.
