The day-to-day: taking money

More at the till

Finding the customer. The Customer box is a search: type part of a name, or three or more digits of a phone. Each match shows the phone and what they owe. Walk-in customer is the default; โœ• goes back to it, and + New adds someone. It works offline.

The sale is a table, Item ยท Qty ยท Total, with a red โˆ’, a coloured + and โœ• on each line. Under each item, tap "2 ร— 150.00" to change the price if you are allowed to.

  • Categories show as chips; choose one and a second row shows its sub-categories.
  • An item in sizes and colours asks for the size, then the colour. Scanning its own tag adds the right one at once. Any scanned barcode goes straight into the sale.
  • Stock on the tile: "3 left" in amber, "none left" in red, and the till will not sell more. If the goods are elsewhere the tile says so: none here ยท 40 at Main Branch. Ask for a transfer.
  • Quantities can have decimals: 1.5 litres of milk is 1.5.
  • A trade buyer with a price list (Wholesale app) pays their list's prices once you choose them as the customer. Without a customer, everyone pays the shelf price.

Taking the money. Type Cash given under the total and the till shows and prints the change (optional: Cash still sells in one tap). On credit asks what is paid now and how; the rest goes on the customer's account, and the receipt shows Paid and BALANCE.

The receipt shows on screen first, with Done and Print. Your mobile-money numbers print under your name (for example BUY GOODS TILL: 3646050) so the customer knows where to pay. Set the number on each mobile-money account under Payments and accounts. Reprint โ†’ Receipts & printer reprints any receipt this till sold (find it by number or amount), sets what happens After every sale (show first, print at once, ask each time, or do not print), and sends a Test print. In the back office, Receipt on a sale prints it as a till slip marked Reprint (owners and managers).

Refunds. Type or scan the receipt number at the top of the Refund window. Recent sales (owners, managers and whoever sees reports) lists this till's last 25 receipts with Print and Refund, offline too, and marks those Waiting to sync.

At a cafรฉ, Pay later ยท next customer sends the order to the kitchen now and parks it under Orders for payment later. Each till keeps its own order, even on a shared login; cancelling somebody else's order needs a manager.
