A bespoke version for managed foodservice environments helps streamline high-volume food operations across corporate campuses, schools, healthcare systems and more.

• Kitchen management: Robust offering that streamlines food prep operations through real-time order routing, order bumping and claiming logic, and device flexibility.
• Back office: Profit-driving solution that provides configurable reporting and detailed insights across sales, inventory and labor.
• Drive thru: End-to-end technology package that features loop detectors, camera systems, intelligent order confirmation units, and a fully-integrated vision system that automates order initiation, maintains order sequence and more.
• Digital menu boards: Next-generation digital signage platform featuring real-time menu updates, as well as pricing sync for indoor and outdoor environments.

Enterprise-Grade Features Backed by Unmatched Expertise

Now, enterprises across the spectrum of size and sophistication can access leading, enterprise-grade technology that scales effortlessly to meet their needs.

“Global Payments has deep experience deploying our commerce enablement technologies in some of the most complex environments in the world, including multinational QSRs and stadiums where fast, reliable foodservice has to move at crowd speed,” said Terry Roberts, president of Merchant Solutions for Global Payments. “By consolidating our POS solutions under a common platform and brand, we are able to extend our commerce technology to a broader set of customers that can benefit from the superior product features – even if they do not have the scale of a typical enterprise customer. We believe this is a real differentiator.”

Deploying the Genius platform is an investment in seamless operations and enhanced profitability, backed by an industry leader.

• 51,000 restaurants worldwide operate Global Payments’ enterprise technology.
• Approximately 160 stadiums and venues worldwide utilize the company’s technology, including every major professional sports league in the U.S., college football stadiums, and football stadiums throughout Europe.

Customer praise for Genius

"Scaling over 1,000+ restaurants in under three years was no small feat. Genius gave us the flexibility and partnership we needed to make it happen – from supporting our franchisee needs to navigating unique regional requirements,” said Nasiem Patel, senior director of technology, A&W. “The platform is intuitive, the team is responsive, and together we’ve built something that works at scale.”

The introduction of Genius for enterprise customers follows the successful launch of Genius for restaurant and retail solutions earlier this year. Genius is also now available for quick service restaurants in the UK.
