Can I use my Android phone to run a POS?

I own a snowball/icecream business.  I use square on my Android already, but I want to upgrade to the POS system.  I run my business out of a food trailer.  Just wondering if I can run the POS with my phone for a WIFI connection?

If I understand you correctly you are looking to set up point of sale hardware with a cash drawer, printer, stand and you want to use your phone as a hot spot.

 

Yes that is possible.  When we run our Fireworks stand we have one iPad that is cellular and run 3 other iPads off of it.  If you use the square stand your printer and drawer connect with a USB. If you want a wireless printer then the best way is to get a MiFi hub.  Then you can connect your iPad, and printer to it.  That is the way I do it because the square stand doesn't fit in my space.
