Most multi-location retailers we work with aren't failing because they picked the wrong POS system or the wrong network vendor. They're failing because nobody owns the outcome across every location. Because the support model was built for a different environment. Because peak season arrives and the cracks show up in stores that were never part of the pilot.

It's called the Retail IT Performance Standard.
