A practical setup path

  1. Draw the terminal counters first: ticket support, parcel or luggage, parking, travel retail, food kiosk, quick-service kitchen and management office.
  2. Create item groups for intercity bus service counters, transport card recharge desks, luggage support counters, cafeteria kiosks and travel retail shops, separating taxable retail, food items, non-stock service charges, deposits and refunds.
  3. If a separate ticketing system already exists, do not replace it casually. Use POS for service fees, add-ons, retail, food, parcel receipts and reconciliation around that system.
  4. Give every bill a source such as counter, kiosk, parcel desk, parking booth, food court or manager adjustment so reports explain where money moved.
  5. For food counters, map menu categories to KOT printers or preparation screens and print token numbers that passengers can understand quickly.
  6. Close every shift by opening cash, cash drop, cash, cards, contactless payments and QR payments, refunds, cancelled receipts, pending parcels, luggage releases and food wastage.
  7. Use Cloud later when many counters, operators, terminal branches or remote owners need shared reports, backups, permissions and central item control.
