Last Updated 10/6/2026
Overview
Our integration with Genuis Enterprise l supports both a 1-Way Integration for Food and Beverage operations as well as 2-Way integration for Retail.
For specific detail on our 1- Way Food and Beverage Integration, please refer to the 1 Way Food and Beverage Approach.
For specific detail on our 2-Way Retail integration scroll down to the 2 Way Retail Approach.
1 Way Food and Beverage Approach
Sync Approach
This interface contains three elements:
Genuis Enterprises process that sends completed orders to Yellow Dog’s webhook URL
Yellow Dog’s Genuis Enterprise sync application that
pulls in location detail and unsold menu items from Genuis Enterprises API
pulls in sales data posted byGenuis Enterprises, matches sales to items, and depletes inventory
Yellow Dog’s Process Sales Data application that updates reports
Yellow Dog has an additional application Balto, that allows user to map inventory items in Yellow Dog to the corresponding Menu Item from Genuis Enterprises to deplete inventory.
Sync Frequency
This integration supports a manual queue that will allow for sales to be processed manually on demand by the client or can be scheduled every fifteen minutes.
Configuration
This integration supports multiple locations tied to a single Yellow Dog database.
Mutiple instances against a single Yellow Dog database will require additional testing to confirm.
Requirements
Client
The client will be responsible for:
Mapping Genuis Enterprises Locations to the corresponding stores in Yellow Dog
Ensuring that the sales from Genuis Enterprise can be matched to items in Yellow Dog by either
setting the Genuis Enterprise ID to the Yellow Dog SKU or UPC in Genuis Enterprises mapping items from Genuis Enterprises to menu items in Yellow Dog via our Balto application

The POS partner is responsible for providing:
Company_ID
API Key ID
Secret Key for the customer’s site

Sales Data
Genuis Enterprise posts completed orders to Yellow Dog’s webhook URL; Yellow Dog’s sync application pulls the sales data into the Yellow Dog database.
