NeXt is a platform which allows for diverse tools to be made and used created specifically for the NeXt platform. Born and bread by businesseses to help make day to day functions easier, but also to help improve the lives of customers. Data is stored in house, and never given or sold to external companies. Internal companies can use this data to help improve their business, at no point is the data available to be misused. Customers, are important to every business and it's important to recognize that when having customer data, it should be respected and not abused like most companies do. This data is used to improve features, quality of service and products, but also to help make the lives of customers easier. We take our impact on society seriously, we will look at every option before we make a decision that might impact businesses or their customers. We want to reduce any impact by as much as possible.
NeXt POS, is unlike any other platform in the world. The development team spent 4 years in design and development, working with retails stores, restaurants, breweries, etc. NeXt POS is done in structure and in the core, there are new features being added all the time. We take our development seriously. If we can add a feature for businesses to opt-in and use for $2.00 - $10.00 a month, and we know for a fact that it will save businesses 1 hour per week, 4 hours per month. That brings value. A manager's time is worth more than $2.50 per hour.
NeXt POS, is designed to be efficient and feature rich, with tools always in development. Some point of sale companies don't think about what's truly important, ease of use and quick functionality. We have all been to many restaurants, breweries, food trucks, etc. where there is a line out the door or every seat in the restaurant is full and people waiting to be seated. NeXt focused not only on the flow, ease of use, and also the click count. Why should you have to click on 4 buttons that could have been done in 1 or 2? The power behind NeXt is incredible and we take every business seriously and if we aren't helping you, we aren't doing our job. While nothing is perfect, NeXt is as close to perfection as one can get.
Did you know employee training is incredibly expensive? What if an employee could train themselves, have helpful videos a click away? What if an employee could take care of themselves leaving more time for managers and owners to work on important tasks?
NeXt is always adding more features to it's applications, these features will allow people to leverage the power of technology like never before, and it will give smaller business that are not chain restaurants, hair salons, gyms, etc. competitive power. The NeXt platform will make it easier for you to manage clients, reduce workload, save you money, and make it easy for you to view reports to see how things are running.
Why pay more when you don't have too? Why suffer with POS software that crashes, freezes, does 80% of what you need it to do?
Isn't it about time you work with a company that is not only going to save you money, but also going to take your suggestions seriously?
Weighing long term benefits
No, the following features are also available:
NeXt POS is a full POS application using only the features you want, features you don't want won't show up on the screen. However, we do things differently. We created a way so that you can interact with your current and potential customers. NeXt developed this model, because it should be easier and most cost effective than what our competitors have produced. Our platform is designed with the mindset of businesses and their customers.
NeXt POS works two (2) different ways. Signup through the website and pick who you want to partner with.
NeXt is a one of a kind tool. After you sign up with NeXt, you pick and choose the features you want. The features you don't want won't show up in the software. NeXt POS is designed for every business and at this time of writing, we can only identify hotels/motels as the only industry our software would not work for.
NeXt is affordably priced in a way that benefits businesses and set's them up for success:
NeXt POS runs on in-house Lenovo®and Samsung® Android tablets. We have proprietary software that gets installed. Our tablets offer a 3 year Best Buy Geek Squad Warranty, because we know stuff happens. While our software is designed for an Apple IPad, we have no intentions on releasing
an iOS version till late 2024 or 2025. With a phenominal Credit Card pricing you can measure your hardware payback in 2-3 months. It's dependent on how many transactions you do per month.
NeXt POS will currently work with most EPSON and STAR Ethernet (Network) Receipt or Kitchen printer. USB is in development. We are working with other printer companies to test their feasability. Our software should work with most if not all cash drawers that are plugged
into an EPSON or STAR network printer. A printer list will be available in late 2023.

NeXt is a platform that has an IOS and Android App for the user's phone to keep rewards, gift cards, and local specials on one application. NeXt, uses a Windows application on the business side. Windows is utilized for it's estreme flexibility and ability to multi-task easily many things at once. Because the business interface is Windows based, it allows our software to work on the same machine as many modern POS systems. For companies that don't have a Windows 7 SP1, 8, 8.1, 10 - POS, our software works on many Windows tablets too. As long as the operating system is running Windows (not Windows RT) and has and Intel processor, our software will work.
We have developed a new app that is different than our competitors. Our closest competitor is FIVESTARS ®, but FIVESTARS doesn't do what NeXt does. The NeXt app is a loyalty and giftcard platform, however, our app has been designed to do and be so much more. NeXt is designed to take advantage of technology, internet, and utitilizing resources that make sense. How does this benefit businesses?
NeXt is always adding more features to it's applications, these features will allow people to leverage the power of their phone like never before, and it will give smaller business that are not chain restaurants, hair salons, gyms, etc. a competitive advantage. The NeXt platform will make it easier for you to manage clients, reduce workload, save you money, and make it easy for you to view reports to see how things are going.
There are an average of 23 loyalty memberships per household.
90% of consumers who have joined mobile Loyalty programs feel they have gained value from them.
No, the following features are also available:
NeXt is a rewards app very similar to FIVESTARS ® Rewards. However, we do things differently. We created a way so that you can interact with your current and potential customers. NeXt developed this model, because it should be easier and most cost effective than what our competitors have produced.
NeXt works two (2) different ways.
Yes, when a customer runs a credit card, it will automatically give them rewards.
NeXt Rewards is a one of a kind tool. It currently only comes with our POS software. We simply install our light weight pos application on Samsung® or Lenovo® tablet and send it out to you. Everytime a customer registers they have made a purchase, it gives you the ability to give them points.
NeXt Rewards is affordably priced in a way that benefits businesses and set's them up for success:
You sure can! Regardless if you have FIVESTARS, SQUARE, or a simple Excel spreadsheet. We will always work with people to get them on our platform. If we don't already have code to import your customers, we will write it so that you can join many other businesses whom have made the leap or switch to NeXt Rewards.
Often times lack of customers is not due to the loyalty system. It typically stems from having bad rewards for the money spent.
If you setup your loyalty system so that every $100.00 spent, a customers earns a free soft drink at a value of $2.50, they most likely won't come back. Now if you made it, so that a customer can get a free Appetizer up to $12.00 for every $100.00 spent, that has value. That is worth it and customers will come in and use your services more.
From what has been seen with restaurants and coffee shops a typical star/point is worth $2-$3. A Customer spending $9.00 should probably get 3 stars/points.
Reward items should be low cost and low - medium profits margins. However, if you have setup your system where a customer will be spending $100.00 per reward item, your reward item
should still be lower cost but you might have to get into higher profit margin items. From experience, reward offerings should be setup for every $20.00 spent, the minimum of $1.50 should be saved on the bill. This
ratio is 7.5%. This ratio or greater has seen great success at many restaurants & retailers.
Examples:
The above exampes, Schlotzsky's has the best value. It's minimum value to the customer is $7.00 per $49.00 minimum spent. Add a drink or a bag of chips each time, now you are $11.00 and that is $77.00. That is a 10% Savings. Both Old Chicago and Starbucks has roughly the same value of 6.66%, which all of these locations sees lots of repeat business.

Gift cards are a great for Christmas, birthdays, graduations, etc. Gift cards can bring in new customers, and also reduce the cost on credit card processing. Did you know :
NeXt, allows you to import gift cards on to our platform. This allows you to switch to a more affordable system. Importing gift card pricing is on a case by case basis, the price will range from $0.00 - $75.00.
Gift Cards on the NeXt platform is $10.00 / month. That allows you to issue new gift cards and use your imported gift cards.
Stand alone gift card platforms can cost a business somewhere $25.00-$50.00 / month for service. Then you pay $$ for additional plastic cards. An expensive additional cost to your POS operations of your business. When switching to NeXt you can save $$$ on gift cards, which increases your ROI (return on investment).
NeXt is invested with our partnerships to help drive down the cost of credit card procesing. Running a business is hard and time consuming, you have earned your money, shouldn't you keep more of it? Because our pricing is already lowest in the industry, we don't offer introductory pricing.
However, If you are already with a company that is giving you a better effective rate, show us your statement and we will reduce our pricing for you.

Yes, most of our competitors are more expensive than we are. We offer a lot of the same tools. While we may not have all the tools as our largest competitors like SQUARE® and Toast®, we are striving towards having those tools. With NeXt we give an honest and fair rate, and we will give you a quality product and system in return. With NeXt and it's vast array of options, it's about getting creative. We created the features by understanding how some of the most successful businesses work, like Starbuck®, McDonalds®, Texas Road House®, etc. and implemented those features. But not forgetting about how small businesswork, and that sometimes they do things differently and we tried to provide that too.
NeXt, is many years in the making. Thoroughly thought out, and designed to help businesses and their customers. We are designed from top to bottom to be efficient and reduce our resources. Since we already have an all in one systems it's easy to add on features like Gift Cards.
Gift Cards Issued through the NeXt platform have no additional costs, hidden costs, etc. By having customers using gift cards each time a debit takes place you are not paying credit card processing fees. These fees are only paid once to load the gift card, but afterwards each debit is free.
Gift Cards add value because come Christmas time, Birthdays, Anniversaries, etc. someong giving a gift card forces the recipient to return to your location and spend money. Unlike gift cards a cash gift from one person to another, then that person goes where ever they want.
Under federal law, a gift card cannot expire in less than five years after the date of purchase. But if it’s not used within 12 months, fees for inactivity, dormancy or service can be charged to the card each month, diminishing its value. Those fees must be disclosed to the user in advance, and no more than one fee can be charged per month.
While fees are great, fees also hurt the value of your relationship with your customers. Customers are tired of being bombarded by fees. It doesn't cost you anything to not charge them fees, but it could build better relationships with your customers. Remember, it's more expensive to get a new customer than it is to retain a customer.
NeXt is different than many other companies because we have thought about the process much more than they have. What makes our gift cards different?
