How to Choose a POS Reseller Program That Doubles Your Income

Not all POS reseller programs are created equal. Some lock you into razor-thin margins, while others set you up for passive income for years. In this guide, you’ll learn how to spot the difference—and pick a program that turns restaurant tech into your cash cow.

Why Your Reseller Program Choice Matters

Choosing the wrong POS reseller program can cost you:

  • Low margins: Stuck with 10-15% commissions? You’re leaving thousands on the table.
  • Hidden fees: Surprise charges for "support" or "upgrades."
  • Churn: Restaurants ditch clunky systems, killing your recurring revenue.

7 Factors to Evaluate POS Reseller Programs

1. Profit Margins (The Biggie)

  • Demand at least 25-40% recurring revenue share.
  • Avoid programs with "tiered" margins that require unrealistic sales quotas.

Pro Tip: "Ask providers: ‘What’s the average reseller earnings per client?’ If they dodge the question, walk away."

2. White-Label Flexibility

Your brand should dominate:

  • Custom logos, colors, and dashboards.
  • No provider branding on invoices or receipts.

3. Restaurant-Specific Features

Restaurants need more than basic checkout tools. Prioritize programs offering:

  • Menu management: Easily update prices or seasonal items.
  • Table-side ordering: For upscale dining.
  • Kitchen display systems (KDS): Reduce order errors by 50%.

4. Support & Training

Top Strategies:

  • 24/7 support: Restaurants operate nights and weekends—you need backup.
  • Free onboarding: Training for you AND your clients.

5. Scalability

Can the program grow with you? Ask:

  • "Do you offer enterprise plans for large chains?"
  • "Can I add custom features for niche markets (e.g., food trucks)?"

6. Transparent Pricing

Watch out for:

  • Setup fees over $1,000.
  • "Required" hardware bundles.

Ideal Pricing:

  • Zero upfront costs.
  • Pay-as-you-grow subscriptions.

7. Reputation & Reviews

  • Check third-party sites like Capterra or G2 for unfiltered feedback."
  • Avoid providers with multiple "hidden fee" complaints.
