Software company that has client involved in haram transaction

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org

Assalamualaikum,

There is a technology company that builds point of sale (POS) software to be used at cash register at bowling alley. Software is used to manage membership and guest services and to manage all retail transactions performed by the business, this includes , toys, food & drinks (including alcohol). Any bowling alley that uses the software agrees to pay a percentage of profit on all transactions performed by the business using this software.

Is it permissible to work for this software company ?
