Could you build this?
Partial The dashboards, wallet stamp cards, and reporting are vibe-codeable, but reading GS805 machine sales and payment data requires access to a proprietary machine protocol or vendor integration.
What it would actually take: The software side is a multi-tenant dashboard, analytics on imported sales, and Apple Wallet and Google Wallet pass generation, all standard work. The hard part is getting machine-level data: the GS805 likely needs a vendor API, a hardware gateway, or reverse engineering of its serial or cloud protocol. Building a real version requires hardware knowledge, a deal with the manufacturer or operators, and reliable data ingestion from physical devices.
