An interface a new cashier can be left alone with
Products by category, search that finds them, barcode and scale input, and a screen laid out for one hand and a queue rather than for a mouse and a quiet afternoon.
A sale at the till moves the same inventory a warehouse pick moves and posts to the same ledger an invoice posts to. The counter is not a separate system that reports in later — it is the same system, at the front of the shop.
Products by category, search that finds them, barcode and scale input, and a screen laid out for one hand and a queue rather than for a mouse and a quiet afternoon.
Multiple methods on one sale, terminals talking to the till rather than sitting beside it, and a session close that produces figures accounting can take without retyping.
One product list, one set of prices and one stock figure behind the counter, the online shop and the sales desk — so nothing is sold twice because two systems disagreed.
An order placed at the till or on the site arrives at the kitchen or the stockroom as a ticket, moves from to-pick to ready as it is worked, and tells the counter when to hand it over.
A floor plan that matches the room, orders paused and resumed per table, notes reaching the kitchen and a bill split however the table wants it split.

The parts of the counter this work configures, and what each one is responsible for once it is running.
Several tills on one session, on the hardware the shop already has — desktop, tablet or phone.
The till keeps selling when the connection drops and reconciles what it took when the line returns.
Scanners and weighing equipment read straight into the sale rather than into somebody's memory.
Who may discount, who may refund and who may open the drawer, decided by role rather than by seniority.
A customer who needs an invoice gets one at the till, posted to the same accounts as every other sale.
Points, rewards and discounts applied at the counter, on the same customer record the order desk already uses.
Connections fail, and a counter cannot wait for one. The till holds the session locally and keeps taking money, then reconciles what it took once the connection is back — which is the difference between a bad ten minutes and a closed door.
A till that does not reach the rest of the business is a drawer with a screen on it. These are the joins that make it a system.
A sale moves stock in the same place a delivery does, at the location it was actually sold from.
Sessions post to the ledger at the taxes and accounts configured, not as a monthly summary somebody assembles.
The person at the counter is the same record as the person on the sales order and the invoice.
One catalogue, one set of price lists, applied wherever the sale happens.
Cashiers identified on the record, with what they are permitted to do following their role.
Click and collect, returns to store, and one stock figure underneath both.
The till and the warehouse read the same number.
The session posts itself, at the taxes it was taken on.
The till keeps trading and catches up afterwards.
Discounts, refunds and voids are permissions, not habits.
