I have no experience with the software involved in that, but I do know that generally, anything connected to a POS system probably should not be connected to a publicly accessible... anything.

Does this software even have APIs to do something like that?

Or could you just point a webcam at a screen or portion of a screen that the default software indicates open tab count on lol?
