Modular countertop point-of-sale device, aimed at retail stores and restaurants

Looks to us like Global Payments has a new “modular” model of Genius POS.  The new one actually has a POS terminal sidebar? Cradle mount. Original launched in May 2025. Typical square countertop pedestal. Maybe room for Epson?  From digitaltransactions.net
