POS System Companies & Dealers in Centreville, VA

Korus Business Inc. is a point-of-sale dealer and business technology provider in Centreville, Virginia. It works with restaurants, retail stores, and salons and spas. Its main products are POS hardware and software made in Korea, which the company presents as a good mix of performance and value. Korus also offers related services such as card processing, security cameras, online ordering and digital signage, so a merchant can get much of its storefront technology from one vendor.

POS software for three industries

The firm sells its JK line of POS software in three editions. All of them run on touch screens and are built for staff with little computer experience. The company says new users can learn the system in under half an hour. Owners can drag buttons around the screen and put best-selling items where cashiers can reach them first.

• JK Restaurant POS: a visual table map with status colors based on elapsed time, tools to merge, split and move tables, reservations with caller ID lookup, delivery features that check addresses and print maps, menus that change by time of day, and setups for catering, karaoke venues and banquet halls.
• JK Retail POS: inventory control with online item lookup, shelf and price tag printing, mix-and-match promotions, purchase orders, bulk item edits, vendor and receivables tracking, and a sales screen the owner can fully rearrange. It suits stores from small shops up to grocery chains.
• JK Salon POS: a drag-and-drop appointment book with repeat bookings, services assigned to individual staff, automatic commission and payroll math, gift and membership cards with rewards, and an optional camera that records each client's past styles. It is built for hair salons, nail salons and spas.

All three editions share a core set of features. These include theft controls with tiered staff permissions, logs of flagged actions and text alerts to owners. They also include detailed audit trails and hundreds of reports that can be exported to PDF, Excel, QuickBooks or Word.

Other shared tools cover coupons, gift certificates and email marketing, plus support for scales, fingerprint readers and customer displays. The software handles many languages and currencies, and card payments run through Verifone PC-Charge to meet PCI rules. Data is backed up to several places automatically.

For chains, an enterprise edition keeps sales and gift card data in sync and lets the head office see reports from every location, up to a stated 99,999 stores.

Hardware and complementary services

For hardware, Korus carries the BST POS EDGE and OKPOS Optimus Nova all-in-one terminals, along with the SAM4S Giant 100 compact receipt printer. The company describes OKPOS as the market-share leader in Korea. It also offers self-ordering kiosks and tableside ordering.

Its services include card processing built into the POS to speed up checkout and cut keying errors, and a zero-fee program that passes processing costs on to the buyer.

It also provides online ordering linked to the POS with a branded storefront site, professionally installed CCTV from 720p to 4K tied to POS transaction data, Impact Menu Systems digital menu boards, and ATMs.

Buyers can ask for a free custom quote, and current clients can find drivers and how-to videos on the company website. The site's copyright notice goes back to 2006, which points to a long history in Northern Virginia. Korus may appeal most to buyers who want a local dealer that offers software built for their industry, Korean hardware and a wide set of add-on services from one source.
