Codeeo delivers POS software development USA retailers, restaurant brands and franchise systems can roll out from one store to hundreds across state lines. We build checkout apps, payment terminal integrations, sales tax engines, tip and payroll links, offline selling and central reporting, designed around PCI DSS and the patchwork of state rules on pricing, surcharges and privacy. One platform, configured correctly for every state you trade in.
American retail has no single rulebook. Sales tax is set by thousands of local jurisdictions, card pricing rules vary by state, and privacy obligations depend on where your customers live. Your POS has to absorb that complexity so store teams never think about it, and head office can see every location, in every state, from one screen.

Platform capabilities
A brand opening its first store outside its home state quickly finds that the POS which worked fine at home cannot answer basic questions elsewhere. Which tax rate applies at this address? Can we add a credit card surcharge here? Does this state's privacy law cover our loyalty list? Custom POS software development USA brands ask us for usually begins at that moment of expansion. We design a central platform where products, prices, promotions and policies live once, and state or store level rules sit on top as configuration rather than code. That keeps the counter experience identical everywhere while the rules underneath change from one state line to the next. The capabilities below form the usual core; the first release includes the ones your next openings depend on, and the rest follow in planned releases.
Tax rates come from state, county, city and special district jurisdictions, with item level exemptions and annual sales tax holidays in several states. We connect the POS to a tax rate service or a maintained rate table, assign each store by address, and keep the history of what rate applied to every sale for audits. Rate changes are scheduled ahead so they take effect at midnight on the right date.
Correct tax at every register in every state.
Card data is captured by certified terminals with point-to-point encryption, and the platform stores only tokens. That keeps your stores and cloud largely outside PCI DSS cardholder data scope and makes the version 4.0.1 requirements on access control, logging and software inventory far easier to meet.
A smaller compliance burden for every location.
Card networks let merchants surcharge credit cards with notice and within limits, never debit cards, and some states, Connecticut and Massachusetts among them, prohibit surcharges altogether. The platform switches surcharges, cash discounts or dual pricing on or off per state, with matching signage text and receipt wording.
Pricing policy that follows each state's rules automatically.
We integrate with the processor you negotiate with rather than one tied to the software, and support least-cost debit routing where your processor offers it. If terms change, a new processor can be added without rebuilding the checkout, and different regions can even run on different processors during a transition.
You keep negotiating power over card fees.
Federal law forbids employers and managers from keeping workers' tips, and states differ on tip credits and pooling. Rules are configured per state: who may join a pool, how service charges differ from tips, and how totals flow to payroll. Each state profile is reviewed by your employment counsel before stores there go live.
Tip handling that passes a wage audit in any state.
Hurricanes on the Gulf Coast, winter storms in the Midwest and plain network failures happen somewhere every week across a national estate. Each register keeps selling offline within limits head office sets, then syncs and reconciles automatically. Regional managers get an alert listing every store currently running offline.
An outage in one region never stops sales there.
Customer facing displays, kiosks and tip prompts are designed for accessibility under the ADA: readable contrast, large targets, screen reader support on self-service devices and an assisted path for anyone who cannot use the touch screen. We test with assistive technology before any kiosk reaches a store.
Checkout that every customer can complete.
California, Texas, Virginia, Colorado and a growing list of other states give consumers rights over personal data. Loyalty, receipts and marketing consent are recorded with the customer's state, so access, deletion and opt-out requests are handled under the right law. An admin tool finds one customer's records across loyalty, receipts and orders in a single search.
Privacy requests answered correctly wherever the customer lives.
Central menus and price books with local overrides, role based permissions from cashier to regional director, royalty reporting for franchisors, and dashboards that compare stores, regions and states side by side. Promotions can be scheduled by region and ended everywhere at once.
Brand standards held centrally, local flexibility where it is allowed.
Sales, returns and tenders post to your ERP or accounting platform; inventory syncs with e-commerce and marketplaces; payroll receives hours and tips. Each link is monitored, with failed syncs surfaced to a support queue instead of lost.
Store data reaches finance without manual uploads.
Who this is for
Packaged POS products serve independent stores well. National and regional brands hit their limits sooner: per-location fees add up, state rules need workarounds, and the data sits in a vendor's system rather than yours. These four profiles describe where a custom platform most often makes financial and operational sense. If none of them sounds like you, a packaged product may still be the better answer.
A regional chain about to open in a second or third state needs tax, surcharge, tip and privacy rules to switch per location before opening day. We build state configuration as a first-class feature, so launching in a new state means filling in a settings profile and testing it, not commissioning new development. Your expansion plan drives the order of states we configure and test. Store managers in the new state see the same screens as everyone else, so transfers and cross-training stay simple, and head office can compare the new market with established ones from the first week of trading.
New states become a configuration task.
Franchise systems often let each franchisee choose a POS, which leaves head office blind to sales and promotions. A single platform owned by the franchisor gives consistent menus and reporting, royalty calculation from real sales, and controlled freedom for franchisees on local pricing and hours. We plan the migration so franchisees switch without losing a day of trading. Hardware standards, support processes and training material are documented for franchisees, and franchisee owners see their own data while the franchisor sees the whole system.
Groups running fast casual, full service and bar concepts in several states need different order flows on one back end. We build concept-specific front ends sharing menus, kitchen displays, tip rules and payroll links, with reports by brand, state and location for operators and investors. Mandatory service charges and voluntary tips are kept distinct throughout, because several states tax and treat them differently.
Retailers that sell in stores, online and through marketplaces need one view of stock, customers and orders. We connect store checkout with buy online and pick up in store, ship from store, cross-channel returns and gift cards, so a customer in Arizona can return an online order at a store in Ohio. Since the Supreme Court's Wayfair decision let states tax remote sellers, online and in-store sales both need correct tax, and the platform applies it consistently.
Engagement models
Codeeo has no US office. Our team of 80+ works from Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi and serves clients across the US remotely, with discovery, architecture reviews, testing and training run by video call and documented in writing. You work directly with the POS software developers USA projects are staffed with, and an engineering lead stays with your platform from pilot to the final wave. Many brands start with a fixed scope pilot, then take a dedicated team for the rollout and a retainer afterwards. We have delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US and are rated 4.7 from 23 Google reviews.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Native and cross platform apps for tablets, handhelds and kiosks, a cloud platform built to scale with store count, and certified terminal SDKs from your processor. We choose widely supported tools so your internal team can own and extend the platform after launch.

A central platform with state-level configuration for tax, pricing, tips and privacy.
Beyond checkout and payments, a multi-state POS needs a way to apply different rules per state without separate code for each one. We build a configuration layer for sales tax, surcharge and cash pricing policy, tip and labor settings and privacy handling, then link it to your ERP, payroll and e-commerce. Pilots prove it in a few stores before the wider rollout, and each additional state is tested against its own rules profile before any store there goes live.
