Greg Spicer, CEO of Xn protel Systems commented: “Within our international markets the Xn name has been associated with F&B POS for nearly 20 years. Our heritage in Point of Sale systems dates back even further, to some of the first touch screen terminals used in UK hospitality businesses in the 1980s. Now internationally proven, within a wide spectrum of F&B operations, xnPOS provides a genuine alternative for businesses seeking new POS technology and a strong vendor partnership. We are extremely excited to be launching xnPOS at HITEC Toronto and bringing our product to the North American marketplace.”
