POS operations guide
The wrong POS feels cheap on day one and expensive every day after. Choose around reliability, data ownership and workflow fit.
Offline billing, clean tax setup, inventory, reports, exports, backups, user permissions and hardware support.
Can I export data? What happens if internet is down? Are features locked behind higher plans? Can hardware be reused?
No. Reliability, data ownership and workflow fit usually matter more.
Yes. It reduces lock-in and makes the software auditable, even if the owner never reads code.
Run one counter workflow with real items, taxes, printer and closing report.
