Why Somerville restaurants call us
Somerville is the most densely populated municipality in New England, and since the Green Line Extension opened in 2022, nearly 80% of residents live within walking distance of a T station. Davis Square is Somerville's dining and nightlife hub, with the Red Line underneath and Tufts next door. We size the hardware around that reality instead of selling you a package built for somewhere else.
Davis Square is a dining and nightlife district over the Red Line, and Union Square's restaurants gained a Green Line stop in March 2022. We set up kitchen printers and table maps to match how your room runs.
We work with restaurants in and around Magoun Square, Davis Square and Union Square, and throughout the rest of Middlesex County. If you're near Boynton Yards or Tufts University, you're well inside our service area.
Response time, honestly
Somerville 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.

Why buy this locally
Most POS buying decisions get made on the quote sheet and regretted during the first equipment failure. The quote is a one-time comparison; support is a three-year relationship. We would rather be slightly less competitive on the first and considerably better on the second.
Restaurants are the clearest case for local support. A software-only vendor can walk you through a settings menu over chat, but nobody is going to re-route your kitchen printer over chat at 7:15 on a Friday with a full dining room. The value of a local tech is not the phone call — it's the truck.
If you are weighing this against an online order or a national vendor, call and ask us the hard questions. We would rather lose on an honest comparison than win on a vague one. Call (617) 958-8599 — a local tech answers.
What Somerville restaurants bring us
If two or three of these sound familiar, your system is working against you rather than for you.
Checks that won't split cleanly
A four-way split at a six-top shouldn't take three minutes and a manager override. Seat-level ordering and item-level splits need to be two taps, not a workaround.
Orders dying between the floor and the line
Handwritten tickets and a printer that drops orders cost you food, time and tables. Orders should fire to the right station the moment the server commits them.
86'ing an item on one terminal only
When you run out of the special, it has to disappear everywhere at once — every terminal, every handheld, and your online ordering channel.
Tip handling that creates payroll arguments
Pooled tips, tip-outs to bussers and bar, and adjustments after close all need an audit trail your staff trusts and your bookkeeper can reconcile.
Going down when the internet does
A cable outage during dinner service should not end dinner service. Offline mode has to keep taking cards and queue them for settlement.
Hardware for Somerville restaurants
Specified for your space and volume — and we'll tell you what to skip.
What install week actually looks like
The same process every time, whether you are near Union Square or out toward the edge of Middlesex County.
We build your menu before the hardware ships
Every item, modifier, size, course and price — entered and checked against your current menu, so you are not typing 180 items on install day.
We stage and test on your counter
Printers routed, handhelds paired, card reader tested on live cards, offline mode verified by pulling the cable.
We train your staff on your floor
Servers, bartenders and managers each get the five things they'll do a hundred times a shift — on your terminals, with your menu.
We're there for your first busy service
A local tech on call for the first weekend, because that's when you find the things a Tuesday install can't surface.
Restaurants in Somerville: common questions
Do you actually come out to Somerville?
Somerville 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. Somerville is in Middlesex County, which is inside our six-county service area, and we work restaurants throughout it. Call (617) 958-8599 and we'll tell you what today looks like.
How fast can you get a system installed in Somerville?
Most Somerville 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 Somerville do you cover?
All of it, plus the surrounding towns. We regularly work restaurants in and around Davis Square, Union Square and Assembly Row, and out through the rest of Middlesex County. If you're just outside Somerville, call anyway — the service area is wider than most people assume.
Can we keep taking cards if our internet goes down mid-service?
Yes. We configure offline mode and test it before we leave by physically disconnecting your internet. Cards are captured and queued, then settled automatically when the connection returns. We also walk your managers through what the screen looks like in offline mode so nobody panics at 7pm.
How long does it take to get a restaurant POS installed?
Most restaurants are live within about two weeks of approving the quote. The bulk of that is menu building and hardware delivery, both of which we handle. If you are opening on a fixed date, tell us the date and we will work backward from it.
Do you build our menu, or do we?
We build it. Send us your current menu — a PDF, a photo, a spreadsheet, whatever you have — and we enter the items, modifiers, sizes and prices, then review it with you before install. Afterward you can edit it yourself, and we will show you how.
Can servers take payment at the table?
Yes, with handhelds. For most full-service restaurants this is the single biggest improvement to table turns, because the server never walks a card to a station and back. We will tell you honestly whether your floor plan and ticket volume justify the extra devices.
