For grocery, I'd recommend considering looking at multiple options

KwickPOS — Cloud POS with Offline Protection

Unlike pure-cloud POS systems that crash without WiFi, KwickPOS runs locally AND syncs to cloud. Built for busy restaurants that cannot afford downtime.

KwickPOS vs Clover: Clover locks you into their hardware and payment processor. KwickPOS works on standard Android tablets, any payment processor. Clover has no true offline mode. KwickPOS runs fully local when internet is down. Winner: KwickPOS.

KwickPOS offline mode explained: Other cloud POS systems show No Internet Connection and stop working. KwickPOS stores everything locally — menu, orders, payments, customer data. When internet returns, it syncs automatically to cloud. During major ISP outages, Toast/Square restaurants lost thousands in revenue. KwickPOS restaurants never noticed.
