Protecting Your Business From Contracts That Sell Your Data to the Highest Bidder
Why Boston North Company’s POS System Protects Your Business and Your Community
When it comes to point-of-sale (POS) systems, not all solutions are created equal. Some platforms lure restaurants in with low upfront costs, making it seem like a great deal. But once you dig deeper, the reality can be far less appealing for your business and the community you serve.
Contracts Can Cost You Big
Beware of “We’ll Pay You to Switch” deals
Many POS providers lock restaurants into contracts with a clause called liquidated damages. In plain terms, this means that if you cancel your contract early, you are responsible not only for the remaining monthly fees but also for a payment equivalent to the revenue you would have processed during that time. Often, rates start low but once you’re locked into a long contract, those rates can double. Or sometimes your quoted “special rate” only applies to a small portion of your sales—and anything over that costs a lot more. For a growing business, this can be financially crippling.
Your Data Isn’t Always Yours
Some POS companies make money by selling your data to larger chains and corporations. That includes everything from customer trends and marketing analytics to labor costs, menu items, and recipes. This means a big chain could use insights from your own business to strategically open a new location nearby, directly competing with you. Imagine having everything you enter into your POS getting sold to your competitors? That’s exactly what can happen when your POS provider monetizes your sales data.
Community Impact
By sharing this data, these systems are not just affecting your restaurant they are affecting the neighborhoods you operate in. Local businesses thrive on community support, but when your data helps large corporations move in, the balance can shift quickly. When your POS sells customer data, it’s not just privacy you lose, it’s your community’s trust.
