yes there is indeed like a bajillion of POS systems. I'm the founder of one of them https://www.waiterio.com
I found ridiculous how there is a bajillion and everyone is claiming to be the LEADER IN THE INDUSTRY or 1# POS SYSTEM
It's a big market, there are a lot of restaurants and there is space for a lot of software.
As far as I experienced there isn't a lot of virality in growth due to referalls since it's a B2B so no winner takes all happened (despite what some POS would like to make you believe).

I'm not in the service industry and I've seen it in enough places to have noticed it. I couldn't tell you the name of any other POS system (though the aloha bouncy screensaver is particularly notable)
