The sale and the stock
The product sold and the stock left should be the same record, not a till roll and a spreadsheet.
Point-of-sale systems that keep sales, stock and history in one place.
A till that only rings up the day's takings leaves stock and history somewhere else. We compare point-of-sale systems that keep the sale, the product and the record together, including more than one till on the same site.

The product sold and the stock left should be the same record, not a till roll and a spreadsheet.
The payment can sit with the sale, so the day’s takings and the card settlement agree.
A second terminal should add to the same history, not start a second set of books.
What sold, when, and for how much. That is the record a basic receipt does not keep.
A basic cash register and a point-of-sale system are not the same comparison.
| The job | A basic till | A system worth comparing |
|---|---|---|
| The sale | The day’s takings | The product, the time and the amount |
| Stock | Counted by hand | Reduced as items sell |
| More than one till | A separate record each | One history for the site |
| Card payments | A machine off to the side | The payment sits with the sale |
| Looking back | A paper roll | A record you can search |
We compare the system for the way the premises trades. A live quote names the supplier and the monthly cost. Those figures are not printed here, because they follow the number of tills and the contract.

A cafe, a shop and a salon do not take sales the same way. We compare systems for the counter you have: the number of tills, whether stock matters, and whether the card machine should live inside the same sale. The contract end date is kept with the rest of the account.
EPOS
The sale, the stock and the history in one place. A till that only records the day’s takings still leaves you counting stock and reconstructing what sold.
