Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. 🌷

To the moms running businesses, raising families, holding it all together, and somehow still showing up for everyone around them: today is for you.

Whether you're being served breakfast in bed, working the floor at your restaurant, or somewhere in between, we hope today feels like the celebration you deserve.

From all of us at BPA POS thank you, we appreciate you, and Happy Mother's Day! 💐

Pennies are on their way out, and your POS should be ready for it.

We just rolled out automatic cash rounding in BPA POS, which rounds cash totals up to the nearest nickel or down to the nearest dime automatically at checkout.

Here's what it means for your business:
→ Faster checkouts without counting pennies
→ Balanced drawers at end of shift
→ Clear reporting on every rounded transaction

Card and digital payments still charge the exact amount, so only cash gets rounded.

This is already live for BPA POS customers, and you can learn more here: https://www.bpapos.com/blog/post/2026/04/20/cash-rounding-bpapos-restaurant-pos

You're grinding through another Saturday morning rush when it happens. WiFi drops, your POS freezes, and 40 customers are staring at you. Sound familiar?

After working alongside cafe owners for two decades, we've watched businesses thrive or struggle based on one critical decision: their POS system.

The stakes are real. Over 83,000 coffee shops compete for the same customers, and when your line's out the door, you can't afford technology that fails you.

Here's what separates cafes that scale from those that barely survive:

✅ Your POS needs to survive internet outages. Your system should keep processing orders, offline, without missing a beat.

✅ You need ingredient-level visibility. Not just "we're low on coffee", but knowing you've got exactly 2 gallons of oat milk left before the 10 AM rush.

✅ The real costs are hidden. We've seen others POS providers advertise extremely low monthly fees and everything sounds great. Until you see the transaction rates, mandatory contracts, and upgrade costs pile up. We've helped owners uncover what they're actually paying.

We wrote a comprehensive guide that breaks down what actually matters because you deserve technology that helps you serve more customers, reduce waste, and finally understand which menu items are actually profitable.

What's the one POS problem you wish someone could just fix for you?

A record 202.9 million Americans shopped between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday this year according to the National Retail Federation (NRF).

With holiday spending expected to surpass $1 trillion this season based on NRF forecasts, diners are looking for simple, thoughtful gifts that support the restaurants they love, and gift cards continue to be one of the most popular choices.

With BPA POS, restaurants can offer both physical and digital gift cards, redeem them in-store or online, and track everything automatically inside their POS.

It’s one of the easiest ways to bring in new guests and encourage repeat visits throughout the new year.

If you need physical gift cards before the holiday, make sure to order by December 12. Digital gift cards are available instantly.
