See Solo POS at Nish Coffee
Watch the public launch film, then bring your own menu and hardware questions to a counter demo.
A practical buying guide
Follow a coffee order from the till to the receipt, stock record and daily sales in SOLO POS. See the deployment at Nish Coffee, then test your menu, tablet, printer and card terminal in a demo. VCMP Screens handles digital menu content separately.
Worked planning example · fictional data
Illustrative café basket: two drinks at £3 each and one packaged snack at £2.50. The snack starts with ten units in stock.
£6 + £2.50 = £8.50. Ten snack units minus one sold leaves nine.
Demonstrate the receipt, payment record and stock result together. Ingredient recipes and automated menu-price synchronisation require their own confirmation.
A screen can display a menu without being connected to live till prices. Confirm that connection explicitly if you require it; do not infer it from buying both products.
Use the same tablet, printer, drawer and payment arrangement for a representative counter order. Check staff access, item selection, a receipt and the resulting sales record. Solo POS handles orders, products, stock and reporting; agree device compatibility and the actual card-payment process separately, then include those costs in the written quote.
Solo POS product records and VCMP screen content are separate product functions. Test the update route you require and confirm any connection rather than assuming prices synchronise automatically. Assign a menu owner, publish a sample change and check the target display. Reconcile the menu price with the till before using the new offer during service.
Build one representative drink with a size choice and an extra, then compare the final price on the till, receipt and customer-facing menu. Ask the barista to correct a mistaken choice during the demonstration. The useful test is whether the proposed setup reflects the real counter process clearly during a busy service.
Name the approved price and its effective time, then identify who updates each destination. Check the till and the physical menu display after the change. If an automatic connection is part of the proposal, test that exact connection; otherwise include both updates in the opening checklist and verify them independently.
Agree the day’s start and end time, then compare sample sales, corrections, payment categories and product totals. Keep supplier costs and stock inputs visible when interpreting profit-and-loss reporting. A sales total alone is not net profit, and card-terminal settlement can use a different reporting period from the till.
Use the proposed tablet, printer, drawer and payment-terminal workflow for a demonstration order and receipt. Check the counter layout and staff access as well as compatibility. Record which supplier supports each item and how a failed component is handled. A browser demonstration cannot establish that every existing peripheral will work.
Use a small sample of current items and check both destinations. Confirm any actual price connection separately and assign an owner for menu updates.
Use the exact tablet, printer model and connection method in the proposal. Complete a representative order and check the printed result at the counter.
Agree product preparation, staff practice and a quiet switchover period. Rehearse a sale and the supported exception process before normal trading begins.
Check readability, displayed prices and the time available to choose. Use the actual screen orientation and normal lighting in the proposed venue.
Agree the unit used for each product and the opening count. Test the supported sale and stock workflow without assuming recipe-level ingredient deductions.
Use the same contract period and include software, setup, tablet, printer, drawer, terminal and support. Keep payment-processing charges identifiable.
Ask for the supported recovery workflow, then compare the final order, payment evidence and receipt. Reconcile pending work before repeating a transaction.
No. Device evidence, audience exposure and purchases are different measurements. Confirm the actual reporting and avoid inferring customer attention from playback alone.
Nominate the person responsible for current offers and prices. Have them review the displayed version and the procedure for correcting a missed update.
Have staff select products, review the receipt, reconcile sales and check the menu content. Confirm the exact payment arrangement and hardware in the agreed setup.
Watch the public launch film, then bring your own menu and hardware questions to a counter demo.
Put two quotes on the same basis by comparing the software, hardware, setup and card fees.
Compare publishing a menu with the evidence available about a specific display during service.
Prepare your country, language and handover requirements with a relevant regional checklist. Each section is also available in Arabic.
