PAR's Brink POS is a cloud-based system that can be integrated with R365, allowing data to flow seamlessly between both systems. Data mapped on the Connection Mapping page is pushed from R365 to PAR Brink POS, including updates to employee records, jobs, and locations.
This article provides an overview of the Brink POS integration, information about the Connection Mapping page, and the types of data that R365 pushes to Brink.
| Note: The initial integration must first be set up through Support. Once the POS integration is established, R365 users can map employee and job data and perform manual syncs to update the POS. |

The page also includes many sort and filter options to help users locate information to map.
