It is also not the small machine where you inert or swipe a card. The correct type is often used in bagel shops, hair cut stores, Nike stores, New Balance stores, small pizzeria for take out orders, etc. They are very common. A very popular one comes from a Company called Toast. There are many competitors.

Not the tablet that the server would use to input your order.... it's the actual machine used to process a credit card for payment.

Yes the point of sale. My understanding was that it is the hand held machine where at a restaurant the server would input your order at the table. Why would a store like a bagel store or donut shop where you just get something to take home at the counter even use one of those? I have not taken one so have not seen the full guidelines but would you be able to just order a soft drink if the place is expensive? or a scoop of ice cream? Usually at a bagel shop you just say you want a plain bagel and they reach behind and grab one then ring it up at the register.
