The POS team that knows Indiana restaurants
A food and beverage tax that changes by county and city, stacks on top of sales tax, and keeps adding new jurisdictions. A liquor permit that depends on reports your POS has to produce. We install the systems that get Indiana right, and we put the costs in writing first.

Three rules your POS has to carry, from day one
Indiana looks simple from a distance: 7% sales tax, done. Up close it is a moving map of local food and beverage taxes and a permit regime that reads your revenue mix. These are the three that bite.
The food and beverage tax is a moving map
Counties and municipalities adopt their own F&B taxes that stack with the state's 7% sales tax, per the DOR's rate table. Marion County runs 2%; Hamilton County and its dining cities stack county and city to 2%; and new jurisdictions keep adopting, with Madison new for 2026 and Lagro arriving September 2026. Your POS needs the right lines for your exact address, and it needs a new one the month your town adopts. The current map lives on our F&B page.
F&B files separately from sales tax
The food and beverage tax is its own return, filed per jurisdiction, not a bigger number on your sales tax form. Clean per class totals from the POS are the difference between a five minute filing and a monthly spreadsheet project. Johnson County even changed how its tax is collected as of July 2026, which is exactly the kind of shift a supported install absorbs for you.
Your liquor permit reads your revenue split
Indiana's Alcohol and Tobacco Commission ties restaurant liquor permits to the relationship between food and alcohol revenue. Whatever the current thresholds, and you should confirm them with the ATC, the practical requirement lands on your POS: it must produce a clean food versus alcohol split, per period, on demand. Details on the permit page.
Indianapolis, Hamilton County, and the rest of the state
Equip installs and supports point of sale across Indiana, one of its local service states. Start with your city.
Indianapolis
The state's only 2% F&B county, and its biggest dining economy: 9% all in on every plate.
Carmel
A dining district that punches above its size, with county and city F&B stacking to 2%.
Fishers
Adopted its own 1% city F&B in December 2022; the old Fishers discount is history, and half the internet has not noticed.
Noblesville
Square institutions and new growth, filing county plus city F&B like its Hamilton neighbors.
Systems we stand behind, with the costs stated
Shift4 Dine, our lead system
$29.99 a month per terminal published, hardware included with a lifetime replacement warranty, interchange plus processing with the markup stated in your quote, and the annual fees itemized in writing before you sign. See what we install.
Clover, quoted the honest way
Indiana restaurants get quoted Clover through their banks constantly, and the quote is whatever the reseller wrote. Ours is interchange plus with the markup visible and hardware ownership stated. Bring the bank's paper and we will read both side by side.
And when neither fits, we say so
Our team maintains the national research at restaurantpointofsale.com, pricing every major system from published and sourced figures, including against ourselves. If Square or Toast is the honest answer for your room, that is what you will hear.
