Genius, the new POS restaurant platform
POS system for restaurants in Quebec : the right solution for your establishment
A POS system for restaurants is intelligent cash register software designed specifically for the constraints of the restaurant business: order taking in the dining room or at the counter, seating plan management, direct communication between the dining room and the kitchen, payment at the table, tip configuration, and MEV-Web compliance mandatory in Quebec since May 31, 2025.
POS Restaurant
A POS system that grows with you and your customers.
Unlike a conventional cash register, a restaurant POS centralizes order taking, real-time table tracking, inventory management, sales reports, and integration with online ordering and delivery in a single interface.
In Quebec in 2026, a high-performance POS is no longer an option; it’s a tool that secures your margin. It reduces data entry errors, which on average cost between 1 and 3% of annual sales, speeds up service during peak hours, automates tax compliance (MEV-Web, Revenu Québec declarations), and gives you precise data on your most profitable dishes, your peak hours and the individual performance of each member of your team.

What is a POS system for restaurants?
A restaurant POS (Point of Sale) system is specialized cash register software designed for the constraints of the restaurant business: in-room or counter order-taking, seating plan management, direct room-to-kitchen communication, payment at table, automatic tip configuration, and MEV-Web compliance in Quebec. It replaces conventional cash registers and paper-based order-taking systems.
How much does a POS restaurant system cost in Quebec?
In Quebec in 2026, the cost of a complete restaurant POS (software + hardware + integrated MEV-Web + support) is between $80 and $250 per month, depending on the size of the establishment, plus installation and training costs of $500 to $1,500. The Genius solution by Geasy Pay falls within this range, with a key advantage: interchange-plus pricing on card transactions, which reduces total processing costs compared with a flat-rate model.
What's the difference between a restaurant POS and a conventional cash register?
A conventional cash register collects sales and prints an invoice. A restaurant POS does much more: it manages the seating plan in real time, communicates orders directly to the kitchen via a KDS screen, tracks stocks by dish and ingredient, integrates online ordering and delivery, generates detailed reports by server or dish, and automatically applies Web-SEM. It’s an operational and financial management tool, not just a payment device.
Is POS Genius compatible with the MEV-Web mandatory in Quebec?
Yes, the Genius platform deployed by Geasy Pay is MEV-Web certified by Revenu Québec, and automatically transmits billing data in real time, in line with the obligation that came into force on May 31, 2025 for all restaurants, bars, cafés and caterers in Quebec. No additional physical box is required: compliance is natively integrated into the POS software.
Is the POS restaurant Genius suitable for food trucks and mobile establishments?
Yes, Genius works on a tablet with a 4G or Wi-Fi connection, and continues to record sales in disconnected mode, with automatic synchronization as soon as the connection is restored. The MEV-Web remains operational thanks to deferred transmission certified by Revenu Québec. It’s a proven solution for food trucks, mobile caterers and pop-up restaurants in Quebec.
How long does it take to install a POS restaurant?
With Geasy Pay, complete installation of a Genius POS for a restaurant typically takes 7 working days: software and menu configuration (2-3 days), hardware delivery (1-2 days), on-site installation and testing (1 day), team training (1 day). For multi-establishment chains, allow 2-3 weeks depending on the number of outlets.
Does the POS restaurant work without an Internet connection?
Yes, in degraded mode. Genius continues to record orders, print in the kitchen and process card payments in offline mode thanks to the local stack. As soon as the connection is restored, all transactions are synchronized with the cloud and transmitted to Revenu Québec via MEV-Web. For high-volume restaurants, we recommend a dual connection (main Wi-Fi + backup 4G) to eliminate any risk of interruption.
What payments can be accepted with a Genius POS restaurant?
All common payment methods in Quebec and Canada: Interac debit cards, Visa credit cards, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, contactless payment, digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay), in-terminal tipping, QR code payment, and e-commerce invoices for online ordering. All transactions are secured by P2PE encryption and tokenization, PCI DSS 4.0.1 compliant.
