Give your customers a payment-funded POS that wins. Keep up to 60% of the profit.
akru is the payment-funded point of sale built for independent restaurants, and the dealer program built to reward you for bringing it to them.
Your customers already know the payment-funded pitch
Independent restaurants are being sold on $0-down hardware and rock-bottom software fees by payment-funded POS competitors every day. When you can't answer that pitch, you're selling on features against a competitor selling on price.
akru gives you the same play, with better economics for you. A payment-funded POS with no monthly software fee, competitive processing rates, and a revenue share that pays you from the very first location you activate.
Two rates. No fine print.
Every akru rate is published and transparent, so you can quote with confidence and your customer never finds a surprise later.
A program built to pay you, not to make you wait.
Up to 60% revenue share
Earn a share of Zonal's net profit on every active akru location, starting from day one. Your share grows as your book grows.
No ramp-up required
Earnings start on your very first activated location. There's no minimum volume to start earning, paid out on a regular schedule.
Flexible rate structures
Use our published rates for consistency, or work with us to build a custom rate structure for a specific customer's deal.
A platform that keeps you out of the truck.
Esper device management
Every akru device is remotely managed end to end: onboarding, software updates, and diagnostics, all without a truck roll to the merchant's location.
akrupay
Merchants onboard themselves into payments quickly, with no lengthy paperwork cycle standing between a signed deal and a live location.
100% cloud-native
No on-prem servers to install or maintain. Zonal keeps every merchant current on the latest version, automatically.
US-based Level 2 support
You stay the primary relationship with your merchant. When you need to escalate, our US-based support and development team has your back.
Your hardware, your way
akru is software, not a hardware business. Bring your own Android POS hardware, or use Telpo, our recommended vendor. Any compatible Android-based terminal runs akru, along with the printers, cash drawers, and peripherals you already know how to source.
