The OktoPOS Manager keeps the balance account. The register queries the balance and reports the amount to be deducted.Amounts and names in this example are fictitious. The customer card identifies the account, it is not a bank card.

Combos

Sold as a meal. Posted per item.

One package price for the guest. The kitchen sees the components. OktoPOS calculates the item shares automatically. Every item keeps its own tax rate.

A guest orders a fixed burger meal at the register. Light ice-blue studio background.

Inventory

One coffee sold. Three ingredients posted.

The recipe determines the consumption per drink. OktoPOS posts delivery, sale and breakage where they happen. The inventory count counts packs and brings the inventory into line. At month end, the change in inventory shows its effect on the cost of goods.

The shop owner works at a laptop. Next to her stand a labeled bag of beans, a carton of milk and a paper cup.
One Latte Macchiato, three ingredients

The shop owner assigns its ingredients to the Latte Macchiato to go in the OktoPOS Manager. The recipe determines the consumption per drink.

The bars show more or less inventory. A segment is neither a pack nor a fixed quantity.The recipe quantities apply per drink.

Scale

Weigh the salad. Deduct the bowl.

Every salad bowl has its own empty weight. The cashier selects the size at the checkout, or the scanner scale reads the code on the underside and identifies the bowl itself. Either way, the sale is based on the net weight of the salad.

A guest uses tongs to fill salad into a white bowl at the salad bar. Below the counter stands a wooden shelf unit with three stacks of bowls, labeled Small, Medium and Large.
At the salad barChoose and fill a bowl

The guest chooses one of the three bowl sizes and puts together their salad.

The weights are examples. The business stores the empty weight for each bowl size in OktoPOS Manager.

Switching checkouts

The open basket comes along.

The server starts at the first checkout and walks to the second service position to weigh the goods. There she logs in by tapping her name. The basket she began is back immediately, and nothing has to be entered again.

The server stands at the first checkout of the bakery and taps her name on the login screen. The customer waits behind the glass display case with pretzels and pastries.

Loyalty points

Collect points. Redeem at every branch.

One point per $1 of sales, credited as soon as the sale is recorded. On promotion days the purchase counts double. The account is held centrally in OktoPOS Manager and applies at every branch. Points are redeemed against products that the business defines itself.

The guest stands at the checkout of the café, and the server creates his customer account. A sign for the loyalty program stands on the counter, and next to it lies a stack of orange loyalty cards.

Bills of materials

One bouquet sold. Four materials posted.

The bill of materials defines what a bouquet consists of. When the sale is posted, OktoPOS deducts each material from inventory exactly once. Losses and inventory differences are posted separately. At month end, the change in inventory shows its effect on the cost of goods.

The florist works at a laptop on an empty worktable.

The florist creates the bill of materials for the rose bouquet M: five roses, three eucalyptus stems, one sheet of paper and one ribbon. This is only a plan. Nothing is in inventory yet.

Quantities, unit values and prices are examples. The business stores the bill of materials for each item in OktoPOS Manager.The bars show the inventory of each material relative to the quantity after the goods receipt.

Price by measure

The measurement determines the price. The sales quantity remains one item.

Weight, length, perimeter, area or volume is measured and entered by hand at the register. The register multiplies the measurement by the unit price. Exactly one item is recorded and sold.

At the cheese counter, the sales assistant types the weight of the piece of cheese into the register. The piece lies on the scale next to it.

The piece of cheese weighs 0.350 kg. The register calculates the price for this one piece.

Cash book

One day at the register. Every cash movement posted.

The register posts cash payments, cash outs and cash drops the moment they happen. At shift change and end-of-day closing, the cash is counted and compared with the book balance. OktoPOS posts any difference automatically. Accounting sees the cash book in the cloud.

The cashier arrives at the register with the closed cash box. On the counter are the register with its cash drawer and a piggy bank.

Growth

Start with one register. Grow with one system.

The shop starts with one checkout. Devices, ordering channels, customer loyalty and vouchers are added when the business needs them. From the second branch on, OktoPOS Manager manages all locations centrally, including franchisees and companies abroad. In the end, the figures from all locations come together in one system.

Electronic price tags

Changed once, centrally. Up to date on every shelf.

The price is maintained once in the OktoPOS Manager and goes via the cloud to the tags on the shelf. All the location needs for this is a small router. At the register, the customer is charged the same price they read on the shelf.

A customer takes a bottle of olive oil from the shelf. An electronic price tag sits in the shelf rail below.

Guest paging

Marked ready in the kitchen. Called on pager or phone.

At the register, Guest A took Pager 17. Guest B scanned the QR code on the customer display and chose to be called via WhatsApp. As soon as the kitchen marks an order as ready, the kitchen station calls the guest.

The chef places the finished pasta on the pass and taps “Ready - call guest” at the kitchen station. Order 0017 is assigned to Pager 17.
