What is an AI POS system?

An AI POS system is a point of sale that also reads your own sales, catalog and customer history and drafts the back-office work for you: the reorder, the promotion, the invoice, the digital form. You review and approve; it doesn't act on its own.

Regular POS vs AI POS

	Regular POS	AI POS (Paybrain)
Reorders	A stock report; you work out the order	Reads four weeks of sales per location and drafts a purchase order per supplier
Promotions	You pick the offer and write the message	Up to four promo ideas from the last four weeks of sales, with the message written
Invoices	Typed line by line	Drafted from a one-sentence job description and photos, priced from your catalog
Paper forms	Retyped by hand, or kept on a clipboard	Photographed and rebuilt as a digital form
Before an appointment	Scroll the visit history	A short brief: past visits, notes, what to bring up
Cost of the AI	—	$0 add-on; included with every account

What Paybrain's AI does

	What it does	Where you stay in charge
Purchase orders	Reads four weeks of sales at each location, flags what is out, low or about to run out, and drafts the reorder, one per supplier.	Quantities come from your own sales; the AI writes the summary.
Promo ideas	Reads the last four weeks of sales (what is trending, what has stalled, who hasn’t been back) and pitches up to four ready-to-run promotions.	Tap one to use it, or write your own.
Invoice drafts	Describe a job in a sentence and add photos; it drafts the invoice priced from your own catalog.	Estimated prices are flagged; you check and send.
Paper form import	Photograph a paper waiver or intake form and it rebuilds it as a digital form.	You review the fields before it goes live.
Form translation	Puts an intake or consent form into every language you offer.	You review each one before it goes out.
Catalog import	Reads your old product spreadsheet, maps the columns and flags duplicates and missing prices.	Nothing is added until you confirm.
Client briefs	Before an appointment, summarizes the client’s visits, notes and purchases into a short brief.	Marked as AI-written so you know to check it.
Assistant	A chat in the treatment room that knows the client’s history and your catalog: ask about the client, get add-on ideas or when to rebook.	Anything it proposes waits for your OK.
Add-on and rebooking suggestions	Suggests add-ons from your own menu that suit the client, and when to book the next visit.	Approve or decline every suggestion.

The AI works from your data, not generic guesses: your catalog and prices, your sales, your notes on a client. That's why a reorder reflects what actually sold and an add-on suggestion comes from your own menu.

Questions people ask

What is an AI POS system?
An AI POS system is a point of sale that, on top of ringing up sales, uses AI to read your own sales, catalog and customer history and do back-office work for you: drafting reorders, suggesting promotions, writing invoices and digitizing paperwork. A person reviews what it produces.
How is it different from a regular POS?
A regular POS records sales and shows reports; you decide what to do with them. An AI POS also reads that data and drafts the next step, such as a purchase order, a promotion or a client summary, so the work starts done and you approve it.
Does the AI act on its own?
Not on Paybrain. Every AI feature produces a draft or a suggestion: purchase orders, promotions, invoices, forms and client briefs all wait for a person to review, approve or edit them.
Does AI cost extra on Paybrain?
No. The AI features come with the account, with no monthly fee and no AI add-on. You pay per card payment (3.0% + 10¢ in person), and the Register kit is $999 once if you want the countertop hardware.
What kinds of businesses use an AI POS?
Any business that sells over a counter or by appointment: restaurants and cafés (promotions, reorders), retail (catalog import, stock and reorders), salons and med-spas (forms, client briefs, rebooking) and service pros (invoice drafts).

AI included — not an add-on.

No monthly fee. 3.0% + 10¢ per in-person payment.
