Food service technology and the BOHA! platform
A major area of focus for TransAct is its BOHA!® food service technology platform. Press releases describe BOHA! as a platform used in food service, convenience stores, contract foodservice, and other operations to support back-of-house workflows. The company highlights several BOHA! applications and devices:
- BOHA! Terminal 2 and BOHA! Terminal 2 LTE – hardware terminals deployed across convenience store chains and a national sushi franchise operator to support labeling workflows and other back-of-house tasks.
- BOHA! Temp – software that replaces paper logs with guided digital workflows to record temperatures during cooking and holding, generate alerts when readings fall outside safe ranges, and help operators maintain accurate, traceable records.
- BOHA! Checklist – software that helps contract foodservice customers execute daily operational tasks consistently across locations.
- BOHA! Sense – used for real-time equipment monitoring at certain contract foodservice sites.
- BOHA! Grab ‘n Go Labeling – labeling software used with BOHA! Terminal 2 and custom labels to support fresh food labeling and in-store operations for grab-and-go offerings.
- BOHA! Build-Your-Own (BYO) labeling capability – enables chefs at a large sushi franchise to create custom specials while automatically generating nutrition panels, ingredient lists, and allergen disclosures in real time.
Company communications emphasize that BOHA! solutions are used to digitize key back-of-house workflows, streamline labeling, support temperature tracking, and help operators improve labor efficiency, operational consistency, and foodservice quality across distributed networks of locations.
Casino, gaming and POS automation
Beyond food service technology, TransAct is active in the casino and gaming and POS automation markets. The company reports net sales from casino and gaming applications and refers to both casino and non-casino gaming, including charitable gaming. Its brands such as Epic, Epic Edge®, EPICENTRAL® and Ithaca® are associated with these markets. Company statements indicate that casino and gaming net sales have grown alongside FST revenue in recent reporting periods.
Software, source code and technology control
TransAct’s business model includes software-driven solutions delivered through its hardware and platforms. In an 8-K filing and related press release, the company disclosed a Source Code Purchase and Perpetual License Agreement with Avery Dennison Corporation. Under this agreement, TransAct acquired a non-exclusive, perpetual and royalty-free license to a copy of the source code and associated documentation for the BOHA™ Control Center, BOHA™ Ops (including labeling, media, checklist and timer modules), and the BOHA™ Temp and BOHA™ Sense applications. The license allows TransAct to use, modify, market, host, distribute, sublicense, copy and create derivative works of the code for its business purposes. The company notes that it will own modifications it creates, subject to conditions described in the agreement. TransAct has stated that it expects to launch its fully supported version of BOHA! in early 2027.
Supplies, consumables and services
In addition to hardware and software, TransAct operates the TransAct Services Group, through which it provides customers with a range of supplies and consumable items, as well as service, spare parts and accessories to support its installed base of printers, terminals and other devices. Company materials indicate that these supplies and consumables are used in printing and scanning activities across sectors such as restaurant and hospitality, banking, retail, casino and gaming, POS automation, lottery, medical, mobile, oil and gas.
Financial reporting and key segments
TransAct regularly reports its financial results through press releases and SEC filings, including Form 8-K current reports. In its preliminary financial results for 2025 quarters, the company highlights metrics such as net sales, gross profit, operating income or loss, net income or loss, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. It also discloses FST recurring revenue and casino and gaming net sales, reflecting the importance of these areas. The company provides non-GAAP measures such as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and explains that these are used by management for strategic planning, forecasting and assessing financial performance, and by lenders and investors to evaluate operating performance.

An 8-K filing describes a Third Amendment to the company’s lease for its corporate headquarters at One Hamden Center in Hamden, CT, extending the lease term and modifying the leased square footage.
