Winston POS, a St. Petersburg, Florida-based restaurant point-of-sale vendor, on June 10, 2026 certified POSBANK as part of its hardware lineup for restaurants. POSBANK is a global point-of-sale hardware manufacturer with more than 25 years of experience. The deal gives Winston’s U.S. dealer network a tested set of POSBANK terminals and kitchen displays, and the two companies are jointly showing the integration at RSPA’s RetailNOW 2026 in Las Vegas in July.
The partnership rests on three pillars the two companies say matter most to restaurant operators and resellers: fast and reliable hardware, competitive pricing, and customer service. The integrated solutions are “already available,” per the June 10 hardware partnership announcement. Winston is framing the certification as a way to give its dealer network another tier of tested hardware, and POSBANK as a way to land a recommended slot with a U.S. point-of-sale vendor betting on agnosticism. Both companies are scheduled to show the integration on the show floor at RSPA RetailNOW 2026 in July.
Winston POS Adds POSBANK to Its Certified Hardware Lineup
The announcement, dated June 10, 2026 and published from St. Petersburg, Florida, calls POSBANK a “global leader in restaurant hardware solutions” and adds it to the certified hardware vendors Winston recommends for use with its restaurant point-of-sale software. Winston CEO Koen Lavrijssen framed the deal as a direct fit for the company’s recommendation model. The release does not disclose contract terms, exclusive territory, or pricing for the certified bundle.
The release describes the partnership as built on three core pillars: fast and reliable hardware, highly competitive prices, and customer service. POSBANK terminals, the announcement says, “easily exceed” Winston’s processing requirements. The pricing, the release argues, gives both restaurants and resellers better economics, and POSBANK’s support organization matches what Winston has promised its own customers. The integrated hardware bundles are on sale now, the release adds.
POSBANK is the perfect addition to our recommended hardware lineup. They offer incredibly fast hardware at a price point that makes sense, backed by the kind of stellar customer service that our users and partners deserve.
Koen Lavrijssen, CEO of Winston POS, in the company’s June 10, 2026 announcement.
Four POSBANK Models Cover Counter to Kitchen Pass
The certified bundle covers both sides of a restaurant’s floor plan. For front-of-house operations, Winston now offers the POSBANK High-End Mazic Prime and the POSBANK Edge 1560, two POS terminals the company describes as built for the demands of restaurant environments. For kitchen operations, the company is adding the POSBANK KDS 2700 and the POSBANK KDS 2150, two Full HD kitchen display screens the release says are waterproof, dustproof, and built for fast-paced kitchens and bar stations.
To run at optimal speed, Winston’s software requires an Intel Celeron J6412 processor or higher, and the announcement says POSBANK’s modern terminal lineups “easily surpass these thresholds.” Each product passed a period of “extensive testing” before being certified, according to the release. POSBANK, per its own description in the announcement, manages the entire product lifecycle in-house, “from 3D exterior design to manufacturing.” The company is described in the release as a global manufacturer serving the restaurant and retail industries. The products are available now, with sales running through Winston’s dealer channel.
For a dealer or operator assembling a register and a kitchen pass, the certified set means a single set of hardware recommendations, all pre-validated to run Winston’s software. Each of the four products has its own page on POSBANK’s site, including the POSBANK KDS 2700 product page and datasheet, and the Mazic Prime, Edge 1560, and KDS 2150 are all listed on the manufacturer’s site.
| Product | Use | Key features (per announcement) |
|---|---|---|
| POSBANK High-End Mazic Prime | Front-of-house POS | Sleek terminal certified to run Winston POS at full speed. |
| POSBANK Edge 1560 | Front-of-house POS | Sleek POS terminal validated against Winston’s processing requirements. |
| POSBANK KDS 2700 | Kitchen display | Full HD screen, waterproof, dustproof, built for fast-paced kitchens. |
| POSBANK KDS 2150 | Kitchen display | Full HD screen, waterproof, dustproof, built for bar stations and kitchens. |
An Agnostic POS Built Around Dealers
The hardware announcement lands inside a larger U.S. push Winston laid out in late May. An EIN Presswire release dated May 28, 2026, Winston’s own U.S. expansion announcement from May 28, says the company has reached 100-plus restaurant deployments across 16 states. The same release says Winston now partners with twelve “elite” dealers nationwide and is looking to selectively expand that network. The release also describes Winston’s distribution model as “dealership-only,” a positioning it uses to distinguish itself from what it calls the major incumbents’ direct-to-merchant pivot.
At the center of that pitch is hardware agnosticism. Winston’s marketing copy calls the system “agnostic,” engineered to run on all major hardware, operating systems, and payment processors, and the certified POSBANK lineup slots into that model without disrupting it.
Adding a global hardware manufacturer with 25-plus years of product history to that lineup is the kind of expansion that makes the dealer pitch easier to sell. The May 28 release frames Winston as “the agnostic disruptor” in what it calls a “trillion-dollar POS landscape.” The POSBANK deal reads as the hardware-side arming of that argument, a way to give a dealer a tested terminal for the counter and a tested KDS for the back of the house from one manufacturer. The release also describes the Mazic Prime and Edge 1560 as “highly popular” POS terminals built for the demands of restaurant environments. The May 28 release describes Winston’s model as a “freedom-providing alternative” to industry “walled gardens” in restaurant point-of-sale.
- 100+ restaurant deployments across 16 states (per Winston, May 28, 2026 release)
- 12 elite dealers nationwide (per Winston, May 28, 2026 release)
- 25+ years of POSBANK product history (per Winston, June 10, 2026 release)
- Dealership-only distribution model (per Winston, May 28, 2026 release)
Winston has built its U.S. pitch on the dealership model in part because it lets resellers keep their own residuals and payment relationships, the May 28 release argues. The POSBANK certification does not change that mechanic. It adds one more tier of hardware to the dealer recommendation list, and the merchant still chooses which processor runs underneath.
The ‘Squeeze’ Winston Says It Is Escaping
The framing of the partnership depends on a particular view of the restaurant POS market, and the framing is Winston’s own. The May 28 release describes “massive incumbents” acquiring legacy vendors and pivoting to “direct-to-merchant strategies,” a shift it says is “effectively cannibalizing their own dealership networks.” Lavrijssen, in the same release, called it a “squeeze” that forces restaurants into restrictive payment contracts. The release does not name the specific “incumbents” it is referring to.
The release backs the framing with two named third-party voices from the company’s roster.
- “Winston is a true partner for our dealership… Fair margins, freedom to choose our processors, and a product restaurants genuinely love.” Matt Porter, CEO of Card Dynamics, in Winston’s May 28, 2026 release.
- “We were working with a big-name brand, but getting help during business hours was nearly impossible… our dealer is quick to respond.” Dayna, owner of Calida Kitchen & Wine, in Winston’s May 28, 2026 release.
Both voices appear in Winston’s own press release, and neither is an independent customer survey. The picture they draw is the company’s case for itself, not an industry verdict.
The First Joint Showing Lands at RetailNOW 2026
The first scheduled showing is RSPA’s RetailNOW 2026, the Retail Solutions Providers Association’s annual conference, running July 26 to 28, 2026 at the Caesars Forum Conference Center in Las Vegas, NV. The RSPA’s own RetailNOW 2026 exhibitor hub and show floor map confirms the dates and the venue. Winston is at booth 841, and POSBANK is at booth 819.
The release points dealers and operators to info@winstonpos.com or info@posbank.com for more on the certified bundle. Both companies are inviting attendees to walk the show floor in July to see the configurations in person. RetailNOW 2026 draws value-added resellers and independent software vendors, the audience Winston has built its U.S. channel around. The Caesars Forum Conference Center is hosting the show for the first time in 2026, per the RSPA’s own exhibitor hub.
The conference lands roughly seven weeks after the certification was announced. For a dealer channel that Winston is pitching as the antidote to direct-to-merchant sales, RetailNOW is the right room.
