A counter that closes itself out
A document-processing shop ran the register on paper and reconciled it each night against a spreadsheet that never quite matched. Off-the-shelf POS software assumed retail: scan a barcode, take the money, done. Their work is orders with stages, partial payments, and customers who come back three days later.
We built the counter around that instead. Keyboard-first entry so a sale never needs the mouse, order states in colour — unpaid red, partial orange, ready blue, done green — so the whole day reads at a glance, split payments across cash, card and transfer with paid and due calculated rather than typed, real-time search across every order, and a per-day cashier breakdown that turns closing into a glance.
It runs on their own machine with their data on site. No per-terminal subscription, no cloud bill, and no internet required to make a sale.
