Lemon is open source and uses open source components. The best advantage of being open source is that you own your information and you are free to move where you want without being tied to a provider.
Other advantage is that it gives you the freedom to study the source code, and if you know how, you can adapt it to your needs, correct bugs you find and help to improve it. And, if you dont know how to do this, you can request features, report bugs, or hire someone to adapt it.
Safer Environment.
Being linux or any unix system the target operating system to run lemon on, makes a safer place for your information against virus attacks, and also lowers the costs in operating system and antivirus licenses.
Single Database, Multiple Terminals.
You can have a single database serving multiple POS terminals. With other comercial products you must pay for each terminal, with lemon you can have as many as you need without worring about license fees for each one.
