Point of sale

A till built for real trading

High-contrast POS for long shifts: product photos on category tiles, modifiers, loyalty and promotions on the same ticket, parked tables, split payments, weight and open-price lines, and shift-linked accountability. Runs in any browser or the native Android app with offline queue.

Multi-location

Grow to multiple sites without spreadsheet chaos

Each location gets its own stock, terminals, KDS stations, and receipt branding (logo, trade name, tax invoice). Move stock between branches with draft → send → receive workflow. Reports and dashboard filter by location so you see group or site performance.

Accountability

Catch shrinkage before it becomes habit

Cashiers cannot silently delete lines from parked tickets. Active-ticket removals log staff, terminal, and time. Voids and refunds are separate audit trails with permission gates. Cash payouts and pay-ins adjust the drawer with reporting. PIN quick-switch ties every sale to a named staff member.
