What Business Software Solutions does

Business Software Solutions, Inc. (dba BPA Point of Sale / BPA POS) is a privately held US software company founded in the early 1990s and headquartered in Layton, Utah. The company develops and sells the Business Plus Accounting (BPA) platform, a locally-installed POS and business accounting software suite targeting small and micro businesses in the restaurant, retail, and hotel verticals. The product is built on a unified accounting backend (accounts payable/receivable, general ledger, payroll, inventory) with industry-specific POS front ends (BPA Restaurant Professional, BPA Restaurant Delivery, BPA Touch POS, BPA Hotel & Property Management), augmented by a growing module ecosystem that includes EatOnTheWeb online ordering, RapidServer tableside tablets, BPA Kiosks, Kitchen Display System, StoreView cloud reporting, PayByLink QR payments, SMS Notifications, and BPA Reach marketing.

The business model combines one-time hardware sales (Elite III systems priced $980-$1,475) with perpetual software licenses (single station $70, add a station $400) and a $55/month license-and-support subscription on hardware systems, supplemented by integrated credit card processing revenue share through partner Xplor Pay and third-party delivery integrations (OrderOut, Inhouse Delivery). Distribution is primarily direct via an e-commerce storefront (store.bpapos.com), phone sales, and website quote requests, with no channel partners or resellers disclosed. The company is bootstrapped, founder/owner-operated, with no institutional funding, no parent company, and an 11-50 employee headcount, serving what it describes as thousands of SMB customers across the United States.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• SpotOn: Cloud-based SMB POS and payments platform serving restaurants and retail with integrated software and merchant services. Comparable to BPA in SMB focus and restaurant/retail verticals, but with newer cloud architecture and significant growth-stage funding.

Direct peers

• Lightspeed Restaurant: Cloud POS for restaurants, retail, and hospitality with integrated payments and e-commerce. Competes with BPA across all three of BPA's verticals (restaurant, retail, hotel) at the SMB and mid-market tiers.
• TouchBistro: iPad-based restaurant POS system serving full-service restaurants and cafes with integrated payments and restaurant management. Closely comparable to BPA Restaurant Professional in target customer, vertical depth, and SMB focus.
• Toast: Cloud-based restaurant POS platform targeting independent and chain restaurants with integrated payments, online ordering, and payroll. Directly competes with BPA in the SMB and mid-market restaurant segment but operates at vastly greater scale with significant venture funding.

Broad incumbents

• Clover (Fiserv): Fiserv's SMB POS platform with app marketplace, integrated payments, and broad vertical coverage including restaurants and retail. Competes with BPA on hardware-plus-software bundles for SMBs but operates as part of a much larger payments portfolio.
• Oracle MICROS: Enterprise POS and property management system for hospitality (restaurants, hotels, casinos) under Oracle's food & beverage portfolio. Comparable to BPA Hotel and Property Management and Restaurant Professional, but focused on enterprise and chain operators.
• Heartland Payment Systems: Payment processing and POS solutions provider serving SMB restaurants and retail. Comparable to BPA in target customer and integrated payments model (similar to BPA's Xplor Pay relationship), but competes primarily on payments rails rather than full POS software.
• NCR Aloha: Long-standing restaurant POS platform from NCR serving independent restaurants through enterprise chains. Closest comparable to BPA Restaurant Professional in vertical depth and on-premise heritage, though NCR targets a much broader customer base.
• Square (Block) - Restaurants: Square's restaurant POS offering from Block, Inc. serves SMBs across food and beverage with integrated payments, online ordering, and payroll as part of a broader commerce ecosystem. Overlaps with BPA Restaurant in target buyer and pricing tier.

Regional players

• POSist: Cloud-based restaurant POS and management platform primarily serving India, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Comparable to BPA Restaurant in vertical depth and integrated restaurant management (KDS, online ordering, inventory) but operates in different geographies.
