For greengrocers
A point of sale built for fresh produce
Nearly everything you sell goes by the kilo, the price changes with the market and what doesn’t shift today is worth less tomorrow. A greengrocer needs a POS that keeps up with all three.
By weight
Sell by the kilo, not by the unit
Type in 0.350 and the price works itself out from the price per kilo, with that same 0.350 coming off the stock. Half a dozen eggs, a quarter of mushrooms or three kilos of potatoes all go through the same way.
Prices
Change a price in seconds
When the market price moves, you change yours in seconds — one product or a whole category at once — and the new price applies at the counter and online straight away.
Waste
Keep on top of waste
Fresh produce that doesn’t sell is money lost. Record what you throw and the report shows you what you’re consistently over-ordering.
Saturday morning
Six people in the queue, none of them waiting
Saturday between ten and one is half the week’s takings, in small baskets and mostly in cash. The dozen things everybody buys — potatoes, onions, tomatoes, bananas — sit on the first screen, so nobody hunts through categories with six people waiting.
Weight goes in, price comes out, next customer. If someone changes their mind at the till, take the line off the ticket and carry on without starting again.
What you’re actually making
The box cost you €18. What did it leave?
You buy by the box and you sell by the kilo, so the margin is never quite where you think it is. Put in what the box cost and what came in it, and the POS tells you what each kilo owes you before you decide what to charge.
Do it for a fortnight and the pattern shows up on its own: the lines that pay the rent, and the two or three you keep because customers ask for them.
In season, out of season
Half your shop changes four times a year
Cherries arrive in May and are gone by July; clementines take their place in November. Hide what’s out of season instead of deleting it, and bring it back next year with its history intact — so you can see what you sold last June before you decide what to order this one.
Nothing clutters the screen out of season, and nothing has to be set up from scratch when it comes back.
Regulars and restaurants
The ones who pay at the end of the month
The café down the road takes a crate every morning and settles on the last Friday of the month. Keep a running tab for each of them and print the lot as one invoice when the time comes, instead of digging through a month of paper dockets.
Anyone with an account can have their own prices, which is usually the difference between keeping that trade and losing it.
Your phone
Your shop in your pocket
Check what you’ve taken and what sold best from your phone, whether you’re at the market at six in the morning or at home.
Online shop
Orders and home delivery
The online shop that comes with the POS lets your regulars put in their weekly order and collect it, or have it delivered.

Everything it does
More of what the POS does
Every feature we’ve built is there to make your shop more productive.
Give your staff different permissions
If you’d rather your staff didn’t get into certain parts of the POS, you can stop them. Keep the dashboard — with everything about the shop and the stock — for managers and owners only.
Bring the data across from your old POS
Import your old system’s products and customers in bulk from a spreadsheet. It’s as simple as putting the columns in order and importing. The move is done in seconds.
Send your accountant the figures in one click
Forget sending hundreds of PDFs every quarter. Download your sales and refunds to a spreadsheet in one click and send it over. Easier for you, and a relief for them.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I sell loose produce by weight?
Yes. You type in the weight — 0.350, for instance — and the price works itself out from the price per kilo, with that same amount coming off the stock. It works the same for half dozens, quarters and anything else you don’t sell by the unit.
How quickly can I change a price?
In seconds, for one product or for a whole category at once. The new price applies at the counter and in the online shop straight away.
Can I keep track of waste?
Yes. Record what you throw away and the report shows you which produce you’re consistently over-ordering, so you can buy closer to what you actually sell.
What do I need to get started?
A computer, a receipt printer, a cash drawer and an internet connection. If you already weigh your produce on a separate set of scales, you carry on using them exactly as you do now.
Can I work out my margin when I buy by the box?
Yes. Put in what the box cost and what came in it, and the POS works out what each kilo owes you before you decide what to charge. After a fortnight you can see which lines actually pay and which ones you are keeping out of habit.
What happens to seasonal produce out of season?
You hide it rather than delete it. It comes off the screen while it is out of season and comes back next year with its history intact, so you can see what you sold last June before deciding what to order this one.
Can I keep an account for a restaurant that pays monthly?
Yes. Keep a running tab for each customer with an account and print the whole month as one invoice when they settle. Anyone with an account can also have their own prices.
Is it fast enough for a Saturday morning?
That is what it is built for. The dozen things everybody buys sit on the first screen, the weight goes in and the price comes out, and if a customer changes their mind you take the line off the ticket without starting the sale again.
