What POSNET does

POSNET is an Australian point-of-sale (POS) solutions provider founded in 2002, headquartered in Silverwater, New South Wales, and operating as POSNET PTY LTD. The company serves small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) as well as multi-store and franchise operators in the hospitality and retail sectors, offering a portfolio of three vertical-specific software suites — eRestaurant for table-service and quick-service restaurants, eTakeaway for cafes and takeaway operations, and eClever Retail for grocery and retail stores — each covering checkout, inventory, employee management, reporting, and customer loyalty functions.

The platform is paired with proprietary hardware: three POS terminal models (Apexa G, Anyshop Prime, Imprex Prime) plus an integrated accessory line (A11 receipt printer, barcode scanners, and scales) that connect directly to the POS software without manual re-entry. POSNET distributes directly to end customers in Australia via phone (1300 966 963) and dedicated sales, support, and account email channels, with quote-based, multi-year contract pricing that is not publicly disclosed.

POSNET operates as part of a corporate group alongside POSBANK (positioned as the global POS provider) and ECNESOFT, sharing ownership and likely supply-chain and product development resources. Revenue is generated through a combination of hardware sales and recurring software subscriptions. The company's named customer base is concentrated in Korean and Japanese restaurant and grocery chains operating in Australia. No external funding, M&A, AI/ML capabilities, or public financial disclosures are present in the available data.

Direct peers

• Toast: US-origin restaurant-focused integrated POS platform (hardware + software + payments); comparable to POSNET's eRestaurant module in functionality, although operating in different geographies with growing international ambitions.
• ImPOS: Australian-headquartered POS software and hardware vendor focused on hospitality and retail; competes head-to-head with POSNET for SMB and multi-site restaurant/grocery accounts across the same geographic market.
• TouchBistro: iPad-based restaurant POS platform serving full-service and quick-service operators; comparable to POSNET's eRestaurant offering in feature scope and target customer (independent and multi-unit restaurants).
• Lightspeed Commerce: Global cloud POS platform for restaurants and retail with strong Australian presence (including its acquisition of Kounta); competes with POSNET across multi-site hospitality and retail accounts in Australia.
• TYRO: Australia-based integrated POS and payments provider for hospitality and retail SMBs, combining EFTPOS terminals with POS software; directly overlaps POSNET's value proposition in the same customer segments and geography.

Broad incumbents

• Shopify POS: Retail-focused POS and commerce platform from Shopify; overlaps with POSNET's eClever Retail and grocery offering, particularly for retailers that already use Shopify's online commerce stack.
• Square (Block): Large incumbent offering hardware POS terminals, software, and integrated payments for SMBs globally; competes with POSNET for small restaurants, cafes, and retail merchants in Australia through Square's local operations.

Others

• POSBANK: Global sister company under shared ownership providing the POS hardware designs (Apexa, Anyshop, Imprex) that POSNET sells locally; an enabling ecosystem participant rather than a competitor in Australia.
