SOLO POS · 5 practical checks
5 till checks for an independent café or shop
Run a realistic counter shift before deciding whether Solo POS fits your products, equipment and team.
Set up the five products you sell most
Use familiar product names and prices, then ask a colleague to ring up your usual order on a tablet. See which products they can find without asking and which names need changing.
Time the order you take during a rush
Rehearse a realistic queue with a mixed order and a customer who changes their mind before paying. Check the order on screen before taking payment and compare the receipt with what was requested.
Test the equipment you intend to keep
Bring the exact tablet, receipt printer and payment terminal models to the demo. Ask to see a receipt printed after a test payment and record which equipment or connection needs a separate setup.
Count one product after a delivery and a sale
Start with a known stock count for a retail item. Record a sample restock and sale, then compare the resulting count with the units on the shelf. Agree who will handle count differences.
Reconcile a small day before rollout
Compare a handful of sample receipts with the daily sales total, then review one product’s cost in the profit and loss view. Write down which figures the owner expects to see at close.
Your next step
Bring a sample order and your equipment models so the demonstration can cover your actual counter.
