Australian hospitality tech platform Liven is aggressively recruiting restaurants and cafes affected by the recent Square outage, promising free migration and zero-fee options to businesses that swap to its new Android point-of-sale (POS) system.
Melbourne-based Liven introduced its new Android POS system on Friday, claiming the development will impose fewer fees and charges compared to other popular POS systems on the market.
It is based on the iOS POS system developed by local startup Abacus, which Liven acquired earlier this year.
Liven claims Abacus Android POS will allow businesses to access cheaper hardware than iOS-specific options, and can connect to existing hardware like cash drawers and receipt printers.
