Genius is the point of sale solution and modern business management platform from Global Payments, built for small retailers, restaurants and service businesses, as well as QSRs, FSM and other enterprise businesses. Genius supports checkout, back office, kitchen management, kiosks, digital menu boards and drive-thru technology, all running on one system rather than stitched-together tools.

Genius is an advanced POS that goes beyond basic checkout with inventory management, employee scheduling, automated reporting and multi-location support. Genius scales from a single-register shop to a multi-location restaurant group or enterprise operation on the same platform.

Genius supports both restaurants and retail businesses, with restaurants as the largest segment on the platform. Common restaurant types include pubs and grills, pizzerias, coffee shops and cafes and specialty cuisine concepts. Retail businesses span traditional shops and appointment-based services like salons and spas. Age-regulated retail includes liquor stores, dispensaries and other regulated shops that run on Genius with built-in compliance and age verification tools. Enterprise operations include national QSR chains, stadiums and venues and use a separate Genius configuration built for large-scale, high-volume service.

Genius pricing starts as low as $0 per month plus 2.6% + $0.10 per transaction, with Essentials, Advanced and Complete plans built around your business needs. Your Global Payments representative can walk you through what's included at each tier before you sign up.

Genius accepts credit and debit cards, digital wallets, gift cards and other contactless payment methods. However your customers want to pay, Genius has you covered

Genius is a secure cloud-based platform that processes payments using PCI DSS compliant technology, including end-to-end encryption and tokenization that blocks third-party access to payment data.

Yes. Genius connects to major third-party delivery platforms including DoorDash and Grubhub, and syncs menus, pricing, availability and order flow in real time. A developer-friendly API and integrations across restaurant and retail let you connect to the other business tools you already run.

• Marketplace orders: Menus, pricing, availability and order flow sync automatically with the delivery platform.
• In-house delivery: Built-in online ordering plus a driver management system for assigning and tracking your own drivers through completion.
• Other tools: Genius includes some integrations natively and connects to others through the API, depending on your configuration.

Yes. Genius builds AI directly into its hardware and back-office features rather than offering it as a separate add-on. Genius handheld POS runs real-time neural processing at the edge, and Genius drive-thru tech uses AI-powered camera vision with vehicle tracking across every lane.

• Genius handheld POS: Real-time neural processing for faster transactions at the edge.
• Genius drive-thru tech: AI-powered camera vision, unlimited lane support and real-time vehicle tracking.
• Back office: AI reporting and AI-assisted review response drafting and zip-code level spending insights.

Yes. Global Payments can integrate its payment processing directly into the point of sale system you already use, and your Global Payments representative will walk you through the setup. Global Payments recommends running Genius end-to-end, since managing POS and payments on one platform cuts down on the reconciliation and troubleshooting of connecting separate systems.

Genius is an all-in-one payments and point of sale platform, not a standalone checkout terminal. On a single Genius platform, hardware and software stay in sync natively. Genius kitchen display systems, digital menu boards and drive-thru technology all run on the same platform, so a single order or price update reaches every connected screen in real time.

• Kitchen display system (KDS): Replaces paper order tickets and routes orders to the kitchen station with the highest open capacity.
• Digital menu boards: Update pricing, promotions and menu content in real time, across every connected location.
• Drive thru: AI-powered, multi-lane technology with camera vision, real-time vehicle tracking and order sync. Outdoor digital menu boards pair with it to keep pricing and availability accurate at the lane.

Yes. Genius supports in-store, online and on-the-go sales from one platform, so a single system covers your countertop, your website and your mobile transactions. Genius includes a virtual terminal and digital invoicing for taking payments when a customer can't be there in person.

Genius includes 24/7/365 customer support from an always-on team of industry experts, available from the day you go live. Support comes from in-house payment experts by phone, chat and email — not automated bots — and Global Payments handles your onboarding and setup.
