Why Nightcap POS
The things legacy POS won't do.
We built this for the operators legacy systems forgot.
Bring your own processor
Keep your existing rate, terminal, and ISO relationship. Stripe, NMI, Heartland, Worldpay/TSYS supported. Or use Nightcap-processed at 2.5% flat.
Brand programs that pay you
Tobacco scan data, AGDC, RJR Engage, direct brand programs. You keep 70% of any program $ we earn for you.
Multilingual
POS, store assistant, and support in English, Punjabi, Hindi, Spanish, and Korean. Family-friendly, customer-friendly.
AI store assistant
On-call help for your team and customers, in their language. Reduces support tickets and trains new clerks faster.
The owners we built this for, in their own words.
Real people running real stores. No marketing-speak.
“I switched from Clover after seven years. The first month, I made back the switching cost on processing alone. I should have done this three years ago.”
Mike R.
Liberty Liquor & Spirits — Chicago, IL
“We run four stores. Nightcap is the first POS where adding a location made the math better instead of worse. And nobody's holding our processor hostage anymore.”
Amit P.
Patel Brothers Liquor — Edison, NJ
“My day clerk speaks English. My night clerk speaks Mandarin. They both see the POS in their own language, on the same machine, without a setting change. That sold me.”
Sarah C.
Pearl Wine & Spirits — San Francisco, CA
“Started on the Free tier just to try it. Two months later my staff refused to go back to the old system. We upgraded ourselves — nobody pushed us.”
Maria T.
Sunrise Market — San Antonio, TX

The bigger your family business, the cheaper Nightcap gets per store.
Most POS vendors charge you more per store as you add locations. We do the opposite. Pro pricing rewards growth: $59/location processed, $79/location BYO.
Your second store should make your first store cheaper to run, not more expensive.
Pro pricing (Nightcap-processed)
Annual prepay saves $209/location. BYO-processor pricing adds $20/location.
