I still remember my all of the shit we would give about our POS at the restaurants I worked at. Never stood for point of sale btw.
Too congested but there is still a big gap…
Please Elaborate
I worked in merchant services, so actual terminals and payment gateways. It's definitely a grind.
I think it's notable that you've had 3 companies in the same vertical reach out though...

Payments. Very crowded but good money.
Like Toast?
Yes like Toast, Touch Bistro, Par, NCR, Spot-On, Order, but yes same type of technology w/software stacks to help facilitate sales, and build restaurant/Small business
The technology in the last 5 years is pretty amazing, I personally see this as one of the fastest groups going into 2023, again I’ve done research but throwing it out there to see if anyone on this platform has an opinion
Are these companies you are applying to?
Funny story, I’m pretty good at the whole software stacks shit, and the company I was targeting sent me back several “Canned” responses, so I reacted to their pages for a long while and the 3 that have reached out are direct competitors of the original company who’s attention I was after lol
Well, nothing wrong with seeing what they offer. Worst case, you get some solid experience that will translate if you want to jump ship to the competition or things go south.
I feel like I hear good things about Block/Square
The only one I would even remotely consider is Toast, and even then I think they've jumped the shark as a company.
POS is shit as an industry. Restaurant tech is hard to sell into.
