If you want a superior product, it starts with better ingredients and real expertise.
If your goal were to bake the best cake in the world, you wouldn’t start with 30-year-old flour and a chef who had never baked before. The same thinking applies to your point-of-sale system. A great POS platform requires a modern, battle-tested tech stack — and leadership from someone who has already built a top-tier system.
That’s exactly what you get with Round 2 POS.
Built Different. Built Better.
Every layer of our system is engineered for real-world reliability. We focus on speed, uptime, data integrity, and long-term scalability so your POS works when you need it most. This isn’t recycled legacy software. It’s a purpose-built platform designed for Main Street businesses that demand performance without compromise.
Our President and CEO, John Giles, previously built Future POS into a top-five platform during its prime. That experience comes with decades of hands-on lessons — knowing what works, what doesn’t, and how to engineer a system built to perform under pressure.
Just as important, our technology foundation wasn’t selected for convenience or familiarity. It was rigorously evaluated and stress-tested to identify the most reliable tools available. The result is a platform designed for stability, speed, and long-term dependability.

The Tech Stack
Linux
Linux is the backbone of serious infrastructure for a reason: it’s stable, secure, and built to run nonstop. For a point-of-sale system, that means predictable performance, fewer surprises, and a foundation that can be tuned for reliability instead of consumer convenience.
balenaOS
balenaOS is built for long-lived devices in the real world, not short-lived demos. It gives us a purpose-built OS plus the tooling to reliably deploy, update, and troubleshoot devices in the field—so managing a fleet doesn’t turn into a custom engineering project every time something changes.
Docker
Docker lets us ship software the modern way: portable, consistent, and repeatable. Instead of “it works on my machine,” we deploy the same container everywhere—making updates safer, rollbacks faster, and releases far less fragile than traditional install-and-configure workflows.
PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL is the database you choose when correctness actually matters. It’s powerful, reliable under real workloads, and built to protect data integrity as systems grow—so reporting stays accurate, transactions stay consistent, and you don’t outgrow your foundation two years in.
Flutter
Flutter gives us one codebase with a consistent, high-quality user experience across devices. It’s fast, polished, and built for modern UI—so we can move quickly without sacrificing the feel, responsiveness, or usability that staff depend on when the line is out the door.
Technology Built for Real-World Operations
Behind every reliable point-of-sale system is a technology foundation built to handle real-world pressure. From the operating system to deployment tools to data integrity and user experience, each layer of our stack was chosen to deliver stability, performance, and long-term scalability — not shortcuts. That means fewer surprises, smoother updates, and a system you can depend on when your business is busiest.
