  I believe it’s Square based on the card reader in the headphone jack http://www.squareup.com

  Thanks Bryan. It;s unfortunate that Square is still not available in Australia. It would be perfect for a yoga studio I am helping to set up. Thanks again =)

Hey I know that guy from AZ! Glad to see he’s still making stuff from metal and making good coffee.

That’s awesome. Cash only, I’m assuming?

  Nope, it takes cards too with square. I’ve used it in the Tempe and Phoenix Cartel locales.

With a little dedication, you could write your own app that integrates Square, a POS system, inventory, AND use the Redpark cable to interface it with a uC to work the register (auto open for change); hope to see a 2.0!
