POS
Point of sale — the system that records sales, tenders, and often inventory and employee time.

POS data is one of the best checks on a seller’s reported revenue: item mix, day-part, discounts, voids, and seasonality. Buyers often ask for a date-range export that can be tied to bank deposits and tax returns. Switching POS at closing can disrupt gift cards, payroll integrations, and inventory. Confirm who owns the hardware, software license, and historical data.
