Run Your Shop Without the Headaches — All From One POS System

3 October 2024

Running a shop front gets a great deal easier with a POS system that has the full set of features and suits the particular kind of business you run. Take a restaurant that has to accept online orders from food delivery platforms: a POS that handles that too, as Qashier's does, takes the hassle out of order-taking by bringing it all into one system — and it lifts sales, because orders come in both over the counter and through the food delivery platforms. Beyond ringing up sales, Qashier's POS system has plenty of other features that can be set up to suit your business and the way your staff actually work.

Sales and payments

This is the basic POS function everyone knows. As well as making sure every amount charged is correct, it accepts payment in several forms, both cash and scan-to-pay. To guard against fraud, Qashier's POS system offers Dynamic QR Code payment: the system generates a QR code specific to that order, with the exact amount the customer has to pay clearly stated. Once the customer pays, the system confirms it in real time and issues the receipt automatically — more convenient for both customer and merchant, and a payment process that is quick, easy and in step with how people live today.

Inventory management

Updating stock levels in real time lets a shop see exactly what is left and act on it in good time — a genuinely useful feature for any business. A POS also cuts down on human error, so stock counts are more accurate than anything kept by hand, which helps prevent items running out. It can also track how long stock has been sitting and when it expires, so the shop can clear it or run a promotion to shift ageing stock before its date — a real help in avoiding capital tied up in goods that expire.

Customer loyalty

The customer data a POS system collects helps a shop offer products and services that match what customers actually want, and that same data can be put to work in marketing to attract more customers of the same kind. A points-based membership scheme is a good way of gathering details from the customers who come in, and it also lets you offer them perks directly, so they come back and buy again.

Employee management

Beyond the shop-floor side of things, a POS system also has features that help the owner manage how staff work. You can set and check clock-in and clock-out times by role, and set permissions controlling who can see which parts of the POS — which makes managing a team both more systematic and easier to audit.

Analytics and reporting

A POS does not only make a business more efficient; it gathers the data you need to analyse and build on. Qashier's POS system captures the shop's sales data for analysis and strategy — the age range of your target customers, your busiest trading hours, your best-selling items, and so on. Shops can also pull reports for any period they choose.

Integration with other systems

Every kind of shop and business works differently. To make life easier for owners and staff alike, a POS system should be able to integrate with third parties. An online business selling on an e-commerce platform such as Shopify or WooCommerce, for instance, wants a POS that connects to stock on that platform and updates it in real time as orders come in — which reduces the stock discrepancies that come from manual counting and makes selling on e-commerce platforms that much easier.

Qashier's POS system also integrates with a wide range of other systems — the Xero accounting system, food delivery systems and more to come — so that the POS works as hard as your business needs it to.

A POS with a full set of features takes an enormous amount of the management load off an owner's shoulders, leaving time to spend on developing other parts of the business. If you want your business to grow, it starts with choosing a POS system that is genuinely up to the job.
