I live in Raleigh, NC and used to work in Morrisville, NC. I have eaten at this Taco Bell/KFC fiasco (very busy and too small) restaurant quite a few times. I am not sure as to the company that designed this device. I did not notice any other company markings, but I can tell you that it runs a Microsoft Windows software package, my guess would be XP or 2000. I know this because one day it crashed while I made my purchase and ate $5 of my money. After waiting for the manager to figure out what was wrong and reboot the machine, I watched the boot sequence. Plain MS with Intel based processor. I am not sure what POS software they were using, but it is probably homegrown. There are actually 2 devices there and at least one of them was down at any given time. They are nice and a good idea...but like many things, poor implementation. Hope that helps kill your curosity.
