Groupon Updates Its Breadcrumb Point-of-Sale So It Can, Well, Redeem Groupons
Groupon is today releasing an updated version of its Breadcrumb point-of-sale app that will, among other things, have a Groupon redemption feature built into it that automatically tallies how many Groupon vouchers have been redeemed. The update also stores transactions for up to an hour, in case a merchant loses its Internet connection, and processes those transactions that happened offline when the connection is back up. Additionally, merchants with large menus are getting a search function to help them save a bit of time.News Byte
Square Stand Goes on Sale at Apple and Best Buy Stores
Square Stand, the payments company’s pretty and pricey iPad stand for business owners, is available at Apple and Best Buy retail stores starting today, the company announced.

Still, as AllThingsD’s Mike Isaac wrote in May, “You could slap a $500 iPad on a $300 stand and perhaps buy one or two of the ticket-printing peripherals to go with it, and be set up for under $1,000.” The point-of-sale hardware can also be purchased on Square’s website.Microsoft Restructuring and the Oracle-Salesforce Bromance — AllThingsD’s Week-In-Review
