From the EliteTeQ team
We know the empty chair when a deposit was never taken, the custom quote done on the spot, and the booth-rent and commission reconciled from memory. EliteTeQ was not built in a boardroom — it was built next to real tattoo studios in Nairobi, holding slots with deposits, tracking multi-session pieces, and paying artists fairly.
EliteTeQ POS works across multiple business types in New York. If you also manage other types of businesses, the same system handles it all from one dashboard.
EliteTeQ POS delivers measurable business outcomes: accurate inventory management, streamlined operations, improved customer satisfaction, faster transactions, and data-driven insights that increase revenue and reduce costs for tattoo studios businesses.
These aren't just promises—they're results our customers experience every day. Let's make them yours.
EliteTeQ POS provides a comprehensive set of general business management features including inventory tracking, sales reporting, customer management, employee management, multi-location support, payment processing, receipt printing, barcode scanning, tax management, discount management, and real-time analytics.

The United States has no national VAT: sales tax is set by state and local jurisdictions and New York City adds a local rate on top of the state rate, with category-level exemptions that mean certain clothing and grocery items are taxed differently from general merchandise. A till here must apply the correct combined rate and category rules rather than a single national percentage. Card and mobile wallet payment dominate, and tipping flows require dedicated handling in hospitality.
The city adds a local rate on top of the state rate, with category-level exemptions that tax certain clothing and grocery lines differently from general merchandise. The binding constraint is applying the correct combined rate and category rules per item, plus tip handling in hospitality.
