If you are weighing up a POS system from Qashier to take your shop to the next level and you are still not sure which plan to pick — the entry-level Essential or the top-tier Growth — this article will walk you through how to choose a POS plan that suits your business. Start with the size of your business, the features you need and the budget you have to begin with, and you will end up with the POS system that answers your needs best. Because your success as a merchant is our success.
How do you pick the POS plan that suits your shop?
The Essential plan
Essential suits small businesses, businesses just starting out and even startups that want the core features of a POS (point of sale) to get their shop running, with nothing complicated about it. It is still a complete front-of-house POS system, with discount management, cloud-based online reporting and a great deal more.
Take the friendly bear's coffee shop, Slowbear BKK in Thailand, which took Qashier's POS system and used it to grow: making management more efficient and cutting out unnecessary work, so the team could put their full attention on the quality of their coffee and their other products and services, without worrying about front-of-house jobs that technology can take over instead. Reporting that makes daily performance easy to understand saves a great deal of time, too.
Everything you need to get going
To answer a problem shared by many of the merchants who use us — doing the books, or relying on staff to run the shop — our customers have turned to an online POS system like Qashier, which gives them easy, fast and effective access to reports and to shop management online.
Because the shop can be reached online through QashierHQ (Qashier's back office), owners and operators can get on with what needs doing during trading hours or head out to their other outlets as they please, and log in whenever they want to look at the numbers or manage the shop, anywhere and at any time. No more being tied to the counter when there is no need to be.
What sets it apart from the Growth plan is a customer base of up to 500 contacts and up to 1,000 products (SKUs) in the system. Even so, merchants can still record how the business is performing, both sales and top-performing staff, through staff management and commission management. On top of that, thorough reporting and itemised breakdowns help merchants plan, assess and improve the way the shop is run. And although it is the entry-level plan, Essential still comes with continuous software updates and after-sales service seven days a week, easy to reach, so you are in good hands throughout your time with Qashier — at a price anyone can afford.
The Growth plan
Growth includes everything in Essential and then some. It brings a full set of capabilities to cope with more complex operations, along with features that support heavier use: unlimited products, and advanced discount and promotion management that makes running the shop far more flexible. You can schedule a promotion change in advance, with no worry about slip-ups, so the shop can keep adapting its front-of-house sales strategy.
Beyond that, merchants can add members without limit, and advanced reporting and business analytics give you a deeper, more detailed picture. We also add inventory management, which helps you handle stock, update costs and get a warning when something is running low, plus staff management to keep track of clock-ins and handle staff commissions.
When you think about how to choose a POS plan, do not forget to factor in the growth of your business. Do not fall into the trap of going for the cheapest starting price — because when your shop expands or you open more outlets, it can mean swapping out the whole system or retraining everyone if what you have cannot keep up. The Growth POS plan from Qashier makes that easy, with a system designed to adapt readily and to integrate data across outlets. Whether you have one shop or ten, managing and reaching your data stays simple.
In short, the Growth plan comes with a full set of advanced capabilities, ready to make running your shop far easier, cut out duplicated work, improve the customer experience and support the shop as it grows — at a step up in price from Essential, but well worth it for such a powerful upgrade.
In summary: choosing a POS plan that is worth it and answers your needs
Essential is our popular entry-level plan, suited to small and medium-sized businesses or shops that are only just starting out, and it still covers everything you need to open your doors, with support for add-on hardware and extra features at a more economical price. And for shops that want the complete package, the Growth POS plan — our best seller — is the final answer: full of capability, with unlimited products, unlocking every limit on your ideas for selling, and backed by the best after-sales experience we offer, seven days a week.
The main differences between the two plans are the number of products you can add to the system, the size of your member database, and the extra features Growth brings, such as tiered pricing, ingredient management and inventory.
