Retailers and restaurants in Tokyo are moving to Posnic, a complete POS software that costs nothing and hides nothing. It is open source, runs fully offline on your own computer, and handles sales, inventory and reports without a monthly fee.
Live stock with every sale, low-stock alerts, purchase receiving and a full movement history behind each number.
Table ordering, kitchen tickets and hybrid retail-plus-dining in the same software, at no extra cost.
Run one shop or a chain across Japan: each store keeps its own settings, consolidated in cloud dashboards when you subscribe.
The complete application is public on GitHub under AGPL-3.0. No trial, no feature locks, no telemetry.
Everything lives in a local database you control, exportable to CSV any day, with a documented sync protocol.
Thermal receipt printers, barcode scanners, label printing, weighing scales and cash drawers are all supported.
Posnic for your business: Grocery · Restaurants · Cafes · Fashion · Pharmacy · Electronics · Hardware

Yes, completely. The software runs on your own computer and needs no internet connection to sell, print receipts or manage stock. Cloud sync, if you use it, catches up automatically when the connection returns.
Posnic uses configurable tax groups, so consumption tax rates are set once and applied automatically, with inclusive or exclusive pricing and tax-wise report summaries.
