Company profile

researched Sep 2026

MYR (MYR Inc., operating as MYR POS and formerly known as Koomi POS) develops an all-in-one point-of-sale and restaurant management platform aimed at quick-service and fast-casual restaurants. The product centralizes on-site and online orders, including those arriving from third-party ordering and delivery platforms, and adds management layers such as menu management, advanced reporting, inventory and recipe tracking, digital loyalty, gift cards, punch clock, and multi-location and franchise administration. The company positions the product as moving beyond traditional point of sale toward what it calls a sales optimization solution (SOS), focused on order volume and fulfilment efficiency, error reduction and operational metrics.

Order-taking capabilities span an online ordering web app, QR ordering, phone/call-in orders, drive-thru, roaming or tableside ordering (Rover), kitchen display systems and customer-facing displays. MYR also supplies the accompanying hardware — iPads, customer-facing displays, receipt printers, cash drawers, payment terminals and barcode scanners — and sells professional services covering implementation, on-site hardware installation, menu configuration, staff training and ongoing support. The company states its name stands for "Master Your Rush."

MYR serves a range of quick-service formats including coffee shops, food trucks, burger bars, ice cream parlours, pizzerias, delis and bakeries, sushi shops, bubble tea shops, microbreweries, canteens, and wraps and bowls concepts, and segments its offering by single-location, multi-location and franchise operators.

Founding story

The company describes itself as built by restaurateurs for restaurateurs, with its POS designed using input from industry operators, and says the name MYR stands for "Master Your Rush," referring to helping quick-service restaurants handle peak-hour order volume.

Business model

MYR sells subscription software for restaurant point of sale, with plans advertised as starting at $80 per month, alongside resold hardware, professional services (implementation, training, support) and payment processing referenced as "low processing rates" in its franchise offering. It also operates a partner program.

Recurring monthly software subscription starting at $80 per month per the company's feature pricing, supplemented by hardware, implementation/training/support services and payments-related offerings.

Traction

The company states more than 1,500 quick-service restaurants across North America use its system.

▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history

Market position

Positions itself as a purpose-built quick-service restaurant POS and claims to have offered the first QSR point-of-sale system with a comprehensive order ecosystem linking online, mobile and in-person orders; the site cites an independent analysis describing MYR POS as the fastest order-processing system in North America.

Built specifically for the quick-service environment and franchise operations rather than general restaurant use, with a team including restaurateurs, location/platform/order-type level menu and pricing control, automated royalty and fee invoicing for franchisors, fast deployment and onboarding, and Quebec Web SRM certification.

Technology

An iPad-based point-of-sale system with a kitchen display system, customer-facing displays and drive-thru support, connected to an order ecosystem that unifies online, mobile and in-person orders. Integrations span third-party ordering and delivery (Uber Eats, DoorDash, Grubhub, Postmates, SkipTheDishes, Ritual, Uber Direct, DoorDash Drive, Onfleet), scheduling (7shifts), inventory and recipe tools (Piecemeal, WISK, RESTOCK, DYNE), accounting (QuickBooks Online, Wave, Sage, Acumatica), loyalty and gift cards (DataCandy), video/loss prevention (Solink), and Revenu Québec's SRM, with Web SRM certification for Quebec.

Go-to-market

Direct sales with website-booked custom demos and a toll-free sales line, supported by a partner program, franchise-level deployments where franchisors roll the system out across locations, and integration partnerships. The company describes early growth by word of mouth in Montreal before expanding across Canada and into the United States via partnerships and franchises.
