The first day with a new POS goes smoothly when the basics are ready before the first customer arrives. This is the short list we use.
Before you open
- Products and prices. Enter your top 20 sellers first. You can add the rest while you trade.
- Tax and discounts. Set the rates once so every receipt is correct from the first sale.
- Cashier accounts. Give each person their own login, so the end-of-day report shows who sold what.
- Receipt printer and cash drawer. Print a test receipt and open the drawer once, before the doors open.
During the day
- Ring up sales as normal and fix small mistakes later, not at the counter.
- Note any product that is missing from the list and add it after closing.
When you close
- Print the daily sales report.
- Count the cash drawer and compare it with the report.
- Back up your data, or check that the automatic backup finished.
Bilak POS is built around exactly this routine: one small shop, one till, ready in minutes.
