What Tom said.

I'm very familiar with such POS & restaurant operations, which explains my
100% gray/white hair & beard at 40 years of age. <wink>

I believe if you purchase the Volume License version you get free
downgrade rights and that XP Prof is still available as a download from
the volume license site.

If the computers are all the same, or mostly all the same, I would
create a few base images, completely working, and then ghost the image
to a USB drive, then restore the image onsite at each location.
