The live event POS that runs the show.

Pulse is the AI layer that sits on top of every iPad, every order, every shift. Ask it in plain English what is slowing down stage 2, what your biggest opportunity is tonight, who is outperforming the team. The answer comes back with the staff name, the terminal, the recommendation, and the action chip. There is no query language to learn and no dashboard to wire up.

Both. The terminal runs lightweight inference for the moment-by-moment stuff (anomalies, throughput dips, fraud signals) so the floor never waits on a round trip. Heavier reasoning, weekly trend summaries, and forecasting run server-side and roll back down to the mesh. The cloud is never in the critical path of a transaction or an alert.

Square gives you a dashboard. We give you an AI layer that watches the dashboard for you. Square will tell you sales today were $2.16M. Pulse will tell you that sales are 18.4% above plan, that the Beer Garden is responsible for most of it, that your VIP bar is the next constraint, and that moving Lena over there closes the gap. The dashboards still exist. They are just no longer the ceiling.

Not at the time of writing. Both are credible live event POS platforms with offline-aware processing and real-time dashboards. Neither markets natural-language operator queries, voice interfaces, on-device AI, anomaly detection feeds, declining-item trend detection, or AI menu generation. If that changes we will update the comparison above.

Yes. Every terminal is a peer in a self-healing mesh, so as long as any one device on the floor has an uplink, transactions authorize in real time across the mesh. When the entire venue goes truly dark, we fall back to store-and-forward like everyone else, and CRDTs keep menus, inventory, and orders consistent so the system reconciles cleanly when connectivity returns. The difference: the mesh makes multi-uplink fallback automatic, with no extra hardware, and reduces store-and-forward exposure by roughly 60% in our pilot deployments.

Hand Pulse the menu graphic from your designer, the CSV from your old POS, the deck from your supplier, or just describe what you are pouring. It writes the items, the modifiers, the pricing tiers, and the station routing, and pushes the menu over the mesh to every terminal in seconds.

Every staff member is benchmarked against the team average in real time across four quadrants: Throughput, Revenue Efficiency, Accuracy and Loss Prevention, and Flow Resilience. The high performers surface on their own. The ones who need coaching surface too. The night writes its own performance review.

Same day. Merchant onboarding, AI menu builder, and station routing get a venue from contract signed to first transaction inside a single shift. The four-week implementation belongs to a different era of POS.

Live at Lumina LV with thousands of terminals across multiple zones, AI insights rolling up across every site in real time, and operators talking to the venue through Pulse the entire night. Stadium and concert deployments use the same architecture.

Yes. Pulse, voice mode, and the weekly trend summaries are rolling out across our pilot partners and graduating to general availability through 2026. We are honest about that. The mesh, offline-first transaction processing, real-time dashboards, AI menu builder, and anomaly feeds are live today.
