Customer Questions & Answers

Built for modern Hybrid merchants who demand power without restrictions.

"What makes Rhombus a broader, more open POS solution?"

✔️

Rhombus is built around freedom and interoperability. Here's how our Hybrid POS delivers a broader, more open approach compared to traditional systems:

  • Hardware Flexibility: Rhombus provides native cross-platform apps for Windows®, Android™, and iOS® — unlike other systems that are limited to proprietary terminals or iPads. Merchants can choose devices that match their environment, whether rugged Android™ tablets, Windows® desktop PCs, or iOS® mobile devices.
  • Processor Neutrality: Rhombus is processor-agnostic, meaning you can use any payment provider you prefer, integrate with an existing merchant account, or negotiate your own rates — all without penalty or lock-in.
  • Unified Industry Coverage: Most POS systems cater to either retail or restaurant needs. Rhombus is a true Hybrid POS that supports both verticals natively — and in the same interface — making it suitable for a variety of operational formats.
  • No Vendor Lock-In: Our Hybrid POS does not bundle hardware, payments, or services into costly all-in-one packages. You can mix and match components, use your own hardware, and work with a third-party installer or support provider of your choice.
  • Reseller-Enabled Support: Businesses can work with local or preferred technology partners to deploy and manage Rhombus, instead of relying solely on centralized support teams. This creates more control, accountability, and cost transparency.

🟢 In short, our Hybrid POS empowers merchants with choice, while still delivering robust, full-service functionality out of the box.

"What is Hybrid POS software? Why is Rhombus considered a Hybrid?"

✔️

Hybrid software in the POS world means one system that can serve multiple business models — simultaneously.

Traditional POS systems are often built for either restaurants or retail. This leads to separate interfaces, configurations, and often, multiple systems for businesses that span both.

Rhombus is Hybrid by design:

  • One system supports both restaurant workflows (e.g., table layouts, coursing, KDS) and retail operations (e.g., barcode scanning, bin-based inventory, POs).
  • Ideal for businesses like:
    • Breweries with a taproom and merchandise store
    • Cafes that also sell packaged goods
    • Hospitality venues with both a restaurant and retail component

With Rhombus, you do not need to purchase and manage two separate POS systems — it is a single Hybrid platform with dual capabilities, managed under one login and subscription.

"How does Rhombus support growth and scale?"

✔️

Rhombus is future-proof and scalable. Whether you are a small shop or a multi-unit operator, Rhombus adapts without needing platform migration:

  • Multi-location dashboards for centralized oversight
  • Bin-based inventory and pricing synchronization
  • Custom integrations through open APIs
  • Cloud-based with real-time updates

From a single terminal in a coffee shop to a chain of retail-restaurant Hybrids, Rhombus grows with you.

"Is Rhombus expensive to set up?"

✔️

Not at all. Rhombus's software-only Hybrid subscription means:

  • No expensive hardware requirements (reuse existing Windows® PCs, Android™ tablets, or iOS® devices)
  • No forced payment processing
  • No long-term contracts
  • No per-transaction platform fees

This pricing philosophy keeps total cost of ownership low, especially compared to bundled systems that require specific hardware, add-on modules, or extended service contracts.

"What kind of businesses benefit most from Rhombus?"

Rhombus is ideal for:

  • Restaurants, including dine-in, quick-serve, and counter-service operations
  • Retailers, from boutiques to high-volume businesses using our bin-based inventory system
  • Hybrid merchants that combine food service and retail in one operation
  • Service-based merchants with scheduling, item sales, or loyalty needs

Rhombus's Hybrid ability to serve mixed-use spaces without compromising features makes it especially valuable in hospitality, event venues, and concept stores.

"What support model does Rhombus offer?"

✔️

Rhombus offers choice-driven, personalized support:

  • Work with a local Rhombus-certified reseller
  • Use your own IT team or consultant
  • Access documentation and remote support from Rhombus HQ

This open support model is a strategic alternative to traditional vendors that require exclusive service contracts or only offer centralized support.

"Can I integrate Rhombus with my other business systems?"

✔️

Yes. Rhombus includes:

  • Open APIs for third-party integrations (accounting, online ordering, analytics, etc.)
  • Peripheral compatibility with standard hardware (printers, scanners, scales)
  • Flexible data access for reporting, exports, and automation

This gives you the power to plug Rhombus into your broader tech stack — not the other way around.
