Restaurant POS in Indianapolis, installed and supported
Indianapolis is the state's biggest dining economy and its heaviest tax stack: Marion County's 2% food and beverage tax, the only 2% county on the DOR's table, rides on top of 7% sales tax on every plate from Mass Ave to Fountain Square. At 9% all in, clean numbers are not bookkeeping hygiene here; they are real money in both directions.

What Indianapolis rooms need from a POS
The 9% has to be right on every ticket
7% sales plus Marion's 2% F&B, per the current DOR table, computed correctly through every split, comp and to go bag. A misconfigured percent on Indy volume compounds fast, and both overcharging guests and undercharging the county are expensive habits.
Two returns, one clean set of totals
Sales tax and Marion County F&B file separately, and the POS should hand your bookkeeper both totals without surgery. We build the reports before go live; the full county map lives on our F&B page.
Bar rooms carry the permit report too
Mass Ave and Broad Ripple rooms holding liquor permits need the food versus alcohol split the ATC expects, producible on demand. Classes configured on day one make it a printout.
Volume economics worth auditing
Indy volume makes processing spreads real money: a few tenths of a point on a busy room's card sales is a hire, not a rounding error. The free statement review prices your current deal against the market in writing.
How an install works in Indianapolis
An Indianapolis install starts from the stack: Marion's lines programmed and tested, classes clean enough for the permit report where one applies, and the two returns' totals reconciled after the first month. Then the ordinary excellence: menu built by us, staff trained across shifts, a person in the room on go live night.
Indiana is one of Equip's local service states, so Indy rooms get people, not queues, and the response times a downtown Friday actually requires. Start with the statement review and the current numbers do the talking.
