Golf POS system for pro shop and F&B, built for clubs
A golf POS system that runs pro shop and food & beverage on the same platform. Charge to member accounts. Track inventory in real time. Route orders to the kitchen. Stay online when the internet drops. Every transaction flows straight into your tee sheet, member CRM, and accounting ledger.
Most golf clubs run a generic retail POS that has been forced into a golf operation. The result is a workflow gap between the pro shop, the bar, the restaurant, and the tee sheet. Inventory is tracked separately. Gift cards are a manual line item. Member accounts charge through some other system. Daily reconciliation requires three logins and a spreadsheet. The data never adds up cleanly because the systems were never designed to talk to each other.
Links Meridian unifies pro shop and food & beverage on a single golf POS system that was built for clubs from the first commit. A green fee sale, a hat sold from the rack, a round of drinks at the halfway house, and a four-top dinner reservation are all the same kind of object in the database. Member accounts, gift cards, loyalty rewards, and rain checks work consistently across every register, and every transaction posts in real time to the same accounting ledger.
The POS works on any device, whether iPad, Windows tablet, or a dedicated terminal, and stays online when your internet drops. Offline mode buffers transactions locally and syncs when connectivity comes back. Kitchen routing sends orders to the right station with the right modifiers. Tab management handles long restaurant tabs across a single member or a group. Everything works the way an experienced server, bartender, or pro shop assistant expects it to.
Evaluating a new golf POS usually comes down to a single question: do you want a POS that was bolted onto golf, or one that was designed around it? Tee sheet, member CRM, lottery, waitlist, dynamic pricing, and accounting are not add-ons here. They are the same product. The integrations are there because the systems were never separate to begin with.
The outcome for your club
Pro shop and F&B unified
One POS, one inventory, one customer record. A member can pay their dinner tab with a pro shop gift card without anyone re-keying a thing.
Charge to account works for members
Members charge dinner, drinks, lessons, and pro shop purchases to their account. Statements are auto-generated. Auto-bill or send by email.
Real-time inventory tracking
Low-stock alerts. Vendor management. Cost tracking. Every sale updates inventory the moment the line item posts.
Gift cards, rain checks, loyalty
All built in. Gift cards work across every register. Rain checks issue automatically. Loyalty rules are configurable.
Kitchen display and routing
Orders route to the right station. Modifiers, course timing, and tab logic all work the way restaurant staff expect.
Offline mode you can rely on
The POS stays online when the internet drops. Transactions buffer locally and sync the moment connectivity returns.
Generic retail POS vs a golf-specific POS
What's included
Common questions
How much does a golf POS system cost?
The Links Meridian POS is included in every tier from Standard ($299/mo) and up. There are no per-register fees, no per-module add-ons, and no separate licence for F&B. Card processing runs through Stripe at standard interchange-plus rates. See the pricing page for a full breakdown.
Can the POS run offline if the internet goes down?
Yes. Offline mode buffers transactions locally and syncs to the server the moment connectivity returns. Members can still charge to account, gift cards still work, inventory stays accurate, and receipts continue to print.
Does it integrate with QuickBooks or Xero?
Links Meridian has full GL, AP, and AR built in, but daily journals also export to QuickBooks Online and Xero if you want to keep your existing accounting system. Every POS line item flows into the ledger automatically.
What hardware do we need?
iPads, Windows tablets, and dedicated POS terminals all work. We also support standard receipt printers, kitchen printers, cash drawers, and barcode scanners. There is nothing proprietary you have to buy from us. If you already own hardware, it almost certainly works.
Can we accept Apple Pay, Google Pay, and chip-and-pin?
Yes. Payment processing runs through Stripe, which supports Apple Pay, Google Pay, chip-and-pin (EMV), contactless, and saved cards on file. PCI compliance is handled at the Stripe layer, so no card data ever touches your hardware or servers.
How does charge-to-account work for members?
When a member pays at the POS, the cashier picks 'charge to account' instead of card or cash. The charge posts to the member's statement immediately, and family or dependent charges roll up to the responsible member automatically. Statements run on a schedule you configure (monthly is most common) and can be auto-billed via stored card, ACH/direct debit, or emailed for manual payment.
Can we migrate from our current retail or restaurant POS?
Yes. We import your product catalogue, modifier groups, vendor list, inventory counts, gift card balances, and member account balances. The migration runs in parallel with your existing system so you can validate every total before switching over. The cutover usually happens in a single off-peak weekend.
Does the POS integrate with handicap systems and tournament software?
Yes. Tournament entries paid at the pro shop POS automatically register the player in the tournament module, with the handicap pulled from the connected handicap system (USGA GHIN, England Golf, Golf Ireland, and others depending on region). Skins, sweeps, and prize-fund payouts post back to member accounts or gift cards.
How long does staff training take?
The pro shop POS is typically learned in under an hour. F&B and KDS take a single shadowed shift. We provide a sandbox environment for training, and the on-screen help surfaces the relevant shortcut for whatever the cashier is doing.
What reports does the POS produce?
Daily reconciliation, sales by category, sales by clerk, sales by hour, top-selling SKUs, inventory valuation, vendor performance, gift card liability, member account aging, F&B labour percentage, and tip allocation. Every report exports to CSV or schedules to email. Custom reports build against the public REST API.
Is the POS suitable for multi-course portfolios or resorts?
Yes. Each property has its own product catalogue, pricing rules, staff list, and reconciliation, while the portfolio rolls up sales, inventory, and member accounts across every site. A member who buys a hat at one property and a dinner at another sees both on the same statement.
