Kind of but not really. It was a kind of hybrid retail banking/EPOS solution. Made worse by the choice half way through development to add DHSS payment function, a requirement later dropped I believe. The banking aspect adds much higher levels of security and journaling than that required by retail solutions. The bespoke/hybrid solution is one of the reasons for its flakiness. EPOS is and was at the time, a pretty well developed and stable platform.
