A typical workflow
A cafe sets up coffee, pastries and bottled drinks as products. Cashiers sell at the counter and print receipts. The manager receives stock deliveries, reviews movements and closes each shift against counted cash.
A practical use case
A takeaway counter uses BluNext POS to speed up sales, keep a record of every transaction and watch stock of drinks and packaging. Orders are taken and paid at the counter.
What to know
