Sound POS Q1 2025 Recap and a Look Ahead to Q2
As Q1 2025 comes to a close, we want to take a moment to thank our partners and resellers for their continued support. It’s been a busy and exciting start to the year, and we’re proud of the strides we’ve made in enhancing the Sound POS platform. These improvements are all designed to make it easier for merchants to manage their businesses and deliver an even better experience to their customers.

Phase 2 C-Store Enhancements Launched
We’ve continued our focus on convenience store merchants by rolling out Phase 2 of our C-Store Enhancements. These updates help stores manage operations more efficiently with:
- Improved item-level management
- Advanced tax configurations
- Enhanced compliance support for age-restricted products
These new features build on the success of Phase 1, which included breakdown/packaging functionality. This feature allows merchants to set separate prices for individual units and packaged products (such as six-packs or cases) even if they share the same barcode. These upgrades give c-store merchants greater flexibility in pricing and inventory management.
Sound POS + Kitchen Display System (KDS)
We’re excited to announce that the Kitchen Display System (KDS) is now fully integrated with Sound POS! KDS streamlines order management, enhances communication between the front-of-house and kitchen, and reduces errors. It’s an ideal solution for quick-service restaurants (QSRs) and other food service businesses looking to speed up service and improve efficiency.
Bulk Pricing for C-Stores
Another exciting addition is our new bulk pricing feature for convenience stores. This makes it easier for merchants to offer volume-based discounts and promotions right from the POS system. Bulk pricing not only encourages larger purchases but also simplifies pricing management.
Product Scale Integration
We’ve integrated with Star Micro MG-T model scales, which can support a 15, 30 and 60 pound capacity. It provides multiple units of measurement – pounds, ounces and kilograms. It also eliminates user error by automatically calculating and adding the weight to a customer’s purchase. The product will serve retail locations such as frozen yogurt, food by weight, smoke shops, among others.
ID Scanner Compatibility
To support our merchants who sell age-restricted products, Sound POS now integrates with ID scanners. This new feature makes verifying customer age faster and easier, improving compliance and helping speed up checkout.
What’s Coming in Q2 2025
