Floreant POS

Floreant (pronounced FLO-ree-ent, “to flourish, prosper or grow” in Latin) is an open-source POS solution for Small and Medium-sized restaurants, quick service, and retails. Floreant POS is founded, contributed, and maintained by OROCUBE LLC, and funded by the founder, and has a little contribution from donors.

In 2009 the POS started its first instance in Denny’s restaurant chain. After its success, the software was released free of cost with source code. In 2014 it ranked top 3 opensource POS projects in google reaching 166,000 downloads and 25,000 active stores in 2016. In 2017 it was reviewed as one of the ten open source POS systems by Capterra.

In 2014, OROCUBE LLC set up its office in Lexington, South Carolina with the goal of transforming the successful open source POS project into a growing and sustainable commercial open source business. In 2015, the company added Managing Directors, revamped engineering, and support processes, and expanded its sales and service channels.

The application and source code is provided by MRPL 1.2 a variant of Mozilla Public License version 1.1; Floreant POS is also available as a supported product and available under a separate commercial license.
