AMP information
Prepare a POS consultation around representative transactions, staff roles, menu or catalog data, inventory, reporting, integration, migration, support, and complete cost.
Open POS demo calendarPlain-language definition
A POS consultation helps identify and demonstrate potentially suitable configurations; it is not a guarantee that a feature, integration, device, price, or timeline will be available.
Day-to-day workflow
Document must-have and unacceptable outcomes, provide representative workflow scenarios, inspect relevant configurations, record unsupported or unconfirmed items, and compare itemized implementation and contract scope.
Implementation
The implementation requirement is specific: business type, service or checkout model, locations, devices, products or menu, transaction peaks, staff permissions, inventory, channels, integrations, reports, migration, budget, and timeline. AMP can document dependencies and questions, but the merchant and applicable providers must confirm compatibility, account approval, responsibilities, testing, training, and support in writing.
Complete cost
POS devices and peripherals; software subscriptions and modules; processing, gateway, integrations, migration, installation, training, support, supplies, replacement, and contract terms Compare recurring, transaction-based, one-time, optional, and exit costs separately. A proposal is incomplete if it omits equipment ownership, software term, support scope, or cancellation obligations.
Failure planning
A polished demo can use sample data and ideal connectivity; critical behavior must be confirmed against final configuration and written provider commitments.
Decision guide
Score each option against the same real-world script, implementation plan, and multi-year cost assumptions rather than comparing unrelated demo highlights.
Know before you decide
Complete-cost view
Only a written proposal and agreement can establish actual pricing and terms.
Owner questions
Script representative sales, modifiers or variants, taxes, discounts, returns, permissions, offline behavior, closeout, reports, and required integrations. A polished sample-data tour does not verify how the final configuration handles difficult operating cases.
Include people who run checkout, manage products or menus, reconcile deposits, administer staff, maintain networks, own integrations, and approve the budget. Their scenarios expose dependencies that a purchaser-only demonstration can miss.
Give each vendor the same scenario list, data sample, device count, integration requirements, migration scope, support questions, and cost horizon. Record unsupported or unconfirmed items separately from capabilities actually demonstrated.
No. Availability, eligibility, feature behavior, integrations, devices, prices, shipping, and implementation timing require a final written configuration and applicable provider approval. Keep the current system until the replacement is tested and ready.

Share the current process, the constraint you need to remove, and the systems that must remain. AMP can return a scoped next step without treating a headline rate or feature list as a complete recommendation.
