Opening a New Shop: What to Get Ready, and How to Choose a Compact POS

Opening a New Shop: What to Get Ready, and How to Choose a Compact POS

If your dream is to build a shop of your own into a success, we can help. For anyone opening their first shop, having the products, the location and marketing that lands may still not be enough, because you also need the systems and the compact POS till that keep the front and the back of the shop in order. So let us look at what else you need to get ready where your shop's till system is concerned.

1. A portable till and shop floor management software

A POS (point of sale system) is the system you sell from at the counter, which covers the till itself and the back office software that looks after sales, stock in the system and, sometimes, the membership scheme too.

How to choose a POS till

The right POS for a newly opened shop should be small and easy to move, but combine the qualities of a till with the software an owner needs. Qashier's hardware, for instance, connects to a wide range of devices.

  • It connects to a wireless receipt printer for sending orders to the kitchen or the bar counter in real time, so restaurant and café owners waste no time passing orders on.
  • It connects easily to a cash drawer.
  • It connects to a barcode scanner of your own, or you can scan on our POS terminal itself, which reads both barcodes and QR codes for whatever you need.
  • It connects to a tablet used for taking orders, so nobody has to key the details in again or send them across to the till.

Beyond that, the terminal connects easily to other programs, with no need to build anything new. For example:

  • QashierEats, an online ordering system where customers scan a QR code to order and pay, both in the shop and online. It reduces the number of staff you need and makes things easier for customers, who do not have to wait for someone to take their order.
  • Stock management software
  • Staff management
  • Customer relationship management, or CRM
  • The Qashier Treats membership and points programme
  • And a great many other programs besides

How to set it up and get started

  1. Choose the kind of till you want: a portable till, compact and able to run on battery, or a large-screen till with the full set of features for a bigger shop.
  2. Fill in the registration form on the website, or call 02-544-0267
  3. Our staff will come and help with the installation and training once you have paid for your plan under the company's terms.
  4. If you run into any difficulty using it, you can contact our team any day of the week.

2. A membership and promotions system

Something else you should set up early is the membership and package system your shop offers, so you can build a customer database and put together promotions better matched to the people you are aiming at.

CRM (customer relationship management) is software for holding customer details, running a membership scheme, following sales and the customer's experience, managing the shop's packages, and everything else that goes into looking after customers beyond simply collecting points — all with the central aim of holding on to your customer base.

Having a good CRM from the moment the business starts lets you manage your customer relationships properly from the earliest days, and saves you worrying about developing software later once the business has grown.

Compact POS hardware from Qashier is the powerhouse of a shop, bringing shop floor management, electronic payment and CRM for looking after customer relationships together in a single device. It is the help you need to start a new business with confidence — and it is an investment in one piece of equipment that genuinely covers every side of the job.
