Choosing checkout and POS operations
Compare catalogue items, modifiers, orders, receipts, returns and online or in-store fulfilment.
Retail checkout or restaurant service POS?
Choose a workspace for the service journey, not just payment.
Table order, named tab or immediate sale?
Choose the thing that keeps an unfinished order identifiable.
Kitchen tickets and customer receipts
Preparation instructions and charged sale evidence serve different readers.
Menu modifier or stocked product variant?
Classify options by what changes in stock, preparation and price.
Recipe ingredients or bought finished items?
Distinguish preparation that creates goods from selling goods already bought ready-made.
Click-and-collect or a new walk-in sale?
Collect an existing order without creating a second sale.
Sell at the till and ship later
Separate the sale from when and where each item is handed over.
Return, exchange or a separate new purchase?
Link genuine replacement intent while retaining distinct unrelated purchases.
Fixed checkout, mobile selling or self-ordering?
Choose who enters the order and where the service takes place.
Sell by piece, fixed pack or actual measure?
Preserve the customer’s quantity unit and the supplied pricing basis.
Catalogue item or one-off custom sale?
Use catalogue identity when repeat reporting or stock depends on it.
Separate POS and online shop or one retail platform?
Choose around shared orders, stock and return journeys.
