In this episode of The Pizza King Podcast, I’m joined by Eddie LeBon and Joel from Thrive POS — not to sell you on their system, but to pull back the curtain on what it’s really like choosing the right point of sale for your pizza shop.
These two bring a rare mix of tech-side knowledge and real restaurant experience. We talk through what operators get wrong when picking a POS, the mistakes they’ve seen firsthand, what questions you should be asking during demos, and how to avoid getting burned by hidden fees or rushed installs.
Whether you’re shopping for your first system or thinking about switching, this episode is packed with value. We even get into the future of POS tech, from AI order takers to the evolving role of customer experience.
💬 Favorite Quote: “A POS system should be Software Advil — it should solve headaches, not create them.”
Full disclosure: I’m a long-time Thrive POS user — but this isn’t an ad. It’s the conversation I wish I had before buying my first system.
