Kern POS is a division of Kern County Business Services (KCBS) — a locally owned and operated business services company headquartered in Bakersfield, California. For over 14 years, KCBS has helped small and medium businesses across Kern County save money on payment processing, upgrade their technology, and access the tools they need to compete and grow.
Kern POS was built because local businesses deserve more than a generic, off-the-shelf system and a customer service number. They deserve a local expert — someone who understands Bakersfield, who shows up when something needs configuring, and who picks up the phone when something goes wrong. That’s exactly what we provide.
Today, we carry and support industry-leading POS platforms — Clover, Rpower, Exatouch, Quantic, and Square — matched to the right business, set up properly, and backed by ongoing local support. From a single food truck to a multi-location retail operation, Kern POS has the right system and the right team to make it work.

Square came to life in 2009 with a card reader for mobile devices — the first of its kind. That one opportunity helped grow Square from a single product to a whole suite for people to run every side of their businesses, including hardware, software, and so much more.
Kern POS launches as a dedicated POS brand — bringing together 14+ years of experience, 5 industry-leading POS platforms, and a full-service local support team under one specialized roof.
Square Handheld launches, giving businesses a portable, powerful point of sale that fits in a pocket.
Loyalty programs and gift card services expand. KCBS helps more local businesses build recurring revenue through branded gift card programs and customer loyalty reward systems.
Expanded to digital and e-commerce services. As more businesses moved online, KCBS added website design and e-commerce payment gateway services — helping brick-and-mortar businesses establish an online presence and keep selling.
Business funding services launch. KCBS adds merchant cash advances, small business loans, and equipment financing — giving local businesses a trusted local partner for growth capital, not just payments.
POS systems added to the lineup. Recognizing that local businesses needed more than just payment processing, KCBS begins offering full point-of-sale hardware and software solutions — bringing enterprise-level technology to small business owners.
Merchant services expand across Kern County. KCBS grows its client base beyond Bakersfield, serving restaurants, retailers, and service businesses throughout the region with competitive payment processing rates and hands-on support.
