Most POS salespeople sell the hardware with the highest commission.
We advise on the one that won’t crash your Friday night rush.
What follows is why Sevenflow exists, what we refuse to do, and why an independent technology advisor protects your margins.
The math that started this
Thin margins, long leases, hidden markups.
Restaurants and retailers run on thin margins. Yet the POS industry still pushes 48-month non-cancellable leases, tiered “bundled” rates that hide the real processing markup, and proprietary hardware that holds your menu hostage.
An operator should never be locked into a system because a sales rep had a quota.
As authorized partners for both Clover and Square, we compare both side by side — on your actual menu and your actual transaction volume — and recommend the one that fits.
What we refuse to become
Our ground rules.
- 01
We won’t hide your processing fees.
We advocate for transparent Interchange-Plus pricing, so you can see the card brand interchange, the assessment, and the processor margin — separately, in writing.
- 02
We won’t trap you in a closed ecosystem.
Square runs month-to-month. Clover lease terms and buyout options are put in writing before you commit. You know the exit before you walk in.
- 03
We won’t leave you on a 1-800 hold.
When a printer drops or a terminal freezes during service, you reach local people across Alberta and the GTA who know your setup.
The name, and what it rules out
A restaurant runs on seven flows.
| 1 | Counter & table service | POS |
| 2 | Kitchen & back of house | KDS & ticket routing |
| 3 | Online ordering & takeout | Direct, zero-commission channels |
| 4 | Payment processing | Fast tap & chip |
| 5 | Inventory & recipe costing | Know your plate cost |
| 6 | Customer loyalty & retention | Bring regulars back |
| 7 | Real-time sales analytics | See what deserves attention |
The name rules out disjointed, four-tablet setups. If a tool creates friction between your front counter and your kitchen, it doesn’t belong on your floor.
