Propel POS is the restaurant point-of-sale system we build in Memphis. It runs on touchscreen stations and on tablets for your servers. We install it ourselves in Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida and train your staff. When you need help, you call us and talk to the people who set up your system.
When something goes wrong in the middle of a rush, you don't have time to press 1, press 2 and wait on hold. Call us and you're talking to the people who installed your system and know how it's set up.

We only take on restaurants in Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, close to our home base in Memphis. That's what lets us make this promise: if a problem can't be fixed over the phone, someone will be at your restaurant within 24 hours.
And because every Propel POS restaurant runs the same standard equipment, we keep spares in stock at our warehouse in Memphis, so you don't have to keep backups of your own.
Propel POS is made by Bright Circuit Inc., and we sell it, install it and support it ourselves. We set up your stations, printers and kitchen screens and train your staff. After that, the system is simple enough that you can train new hires yourself.
You stay with Propel POS because the service is good and the system keeps getting better, not because a contract says you have to. If we can't keep you that way, we don't deserve your business.
Some POS companies sign restaurants to multi-year contracts with cancellation fees. With us there's no term to wait out and no cancellation fee.
It runs the restaurant from the counter to the kitchen to closing out at night.
When an employee can't work a shift, they tap Ask for coverage in My Schedule. Propel POS texts every coworker who can take it: same position, not off that day and not already working then. Whoever wants the shift replies YES, a manager approves, and both employees get a text when it's settled.
No group chats, no calling around the night before, and the schedule updates itself.
Text message
Your Restaurant: Server shift Fri 10/9, 5:00–10:00 PM needs coverage. Reply YES to claim it (manager approves).
YES
Your Restaurant: You're confirmed for the Fri 10/9, 5:00–10:00 PM shift.
Every card sale costs you a processing fee. On $60,000 a month in card sales at 3%, that's $1,800 a month, or $21,600 a year.
With dual pricing, your menu shows a cash price and a slightly higher card price. The difference covers the processing, so that money stays with the restaurant. Cash discount and dual pricing are built into Propel POS, and we set it up when we install.

Cloud Drive-In is our online ordering system, and it works with Propel POS. Guests order from your own ordering page, and the order prints in your kitchen.

Paste two lines into your restaurant's website, and guests can book a table, get on the waitlist or apply for a job without leaving your site. Everything comes into the same system as your POS.
If your website lets you add a little HTML, and most website builders do, you're set. We send you the two lines with your restaurant's key and connect your website address on our end.
