ATLANTA - Global Payments Inc. (NYSE:GPN), a $21 billion market cap payment technology company currently trading below its InvestingPro Fair Value, announced Wednesday the U.S. availability of its Genius solution for enterprise customers, offering a unified commerce platform designed for restaurants, sports venues, and foodservice management environments.
The platform integrates point-of-sale, kitchen management, back office, payments, drive-thru, kiosk, and digital signage functionalities into a single system. According to the company’s press release, the solution is hardware and operating system-agnostic with capabilities including real-time data synchronization, offline functionality, and centralized management. This expansion comes as Global Payments maintains strong financial health with 15.5% revenue growth over the last twelve months.
Genius features a fully-integrated payment stack supporting multiple tender types and EMV compliance, alongside kitchen management tools that provide real-time order routing and device flexibility. The platform also includes configurable reporting across sales, inventory, and labor.
"By consolidating our POS solutions under a common platform and brand, we are able to extend our commerce technology to a broader set of customers that can benefit from the superior product features," said Terry Roberts, president of Merchant Solutions for Global Payments.
The company stated that its enterprise technology currently operates in 51,000 restaurants worldwide and approximately 160 stadiums and venues, including facilities in every major U.S. professional sports league.

The enterprise solution follows Global Payments’ earlier launch of Genius for restaurant and retail solutions, and is now also available for quick service restaurants in the UK. The company will showcase the platform at the FS/TEC show in Orlando, Florida from September 14-16.
