Heartland Payment Systems, a payments processor and provider of merchant business solutions, announced the acquisition of Dinerware and pcAmerica, two point-of-sale companies with solutions covering various hospitality and retail segments.

Heartland Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bob Carr said in a statement, "The acquisitions of pcAmerica and Dinerware, combined with Xpient, Liquor POS and other Heartland products and services, will enable us to offer unique integrated commerce capabilities that are effective, secure and simple to use. With the EMV shift around the corner and the increased emphasis on security, Heartland is now uniquely positioned to offer our capabilities to an additional 90,000 business locations with this new division."

Dinerware and pcAmerica, together with Heartland's existing POS businesses Xpient Solutions, Liquor POS, Leaf and other Heartland solutions, are combining to create Heartland Commerce. The segment will deliver POS solutions, payments processing capabilities and other adjacent business service applications, initially serving the hospitality and retail industry.

With its more than 120,000 restaurant merchant relationships, Heartland's share of the entire restaurant market is 15 percent, the company said.

Dinerware and pcAmerica are developing cloud-based POS systems that complement established on premise solutions.
