Every feature lives in the engine, not in the screen. A kiosk, a touch register and a web shop share the same rules, the same taxes and the same receipts.
Selling
- One sales engine for every register: cart, discounts, fees, payments, refunds and shift closing follow the same path whether the screen runs in the same process or over gRPC.
- The server checks every sale again: prices, taxes and totals sent by a screen are never trusted as is.
- Split payments, even shares, quick cash amounts, gift receipts, duplicates of past invoices.
- Shifts with pauses, transfer to another register, blind cash counts and closing from any register with the right permission.
- Canadian sales taxes (GST, QST, HST) computed per invoice with the official rounding rules. Canadian cash rounding is available as an extension.
- Money is always stored as integer cents, never as floating point numbers: no penny lost to rounding.
Offline by design
- Each register keeps a local SQLite copy of the catalog, taxes and members, and an outbox of sales.
- When the server cannot be reached, sales continue from the local copy; the outbox is drained first when the server comes back, before any update.
- Printed numbers (receipts, tickets, reservations) never collide between registers, even offline.
- Receipts and tickets carry a signed QR code that a register can verify without the Internet.
Trades and modules
Ticketing
Scheduled events, seats and capacities held while the cart is open, tickets printed with their seat and code.
Retail
Inventory ledger, retail and case barcodes, scale labels, prices by kilogram or pound, lots and expiry dates, shelf labels.
Rentals and locations
Rental agreements with return dates and deposits, rented locations that carry their customer.
Services by appointment
Agenda, services that require a qualified staff group, appointments taken with a deposit.
Reservations
A sale put aside under an RV number, resumed by scan or from the customer file, paid in several steps.
Cards and loyalty
Customer cards, coupons issued and sealed by the server, badges for employees and customers.
Restaurant and bar modules are planned. Modules are activated per business today; activation per register, sold as a license, is planned.
Receipts and printing
- Thermal printers (ESC/POS over network, USB or serial) and regular printers through the system driver.
- A drag-and-drop designer in the Admin for receipts, tickets, cards (CR80) and employee badges, with conditions and loops.
- PDF and image output, barcodes and QR codes, French and English templates chosen from the customer's language.
- Print destinations declared in the Admin, actual printer chosen at each register.
Scanning
Barcode readers as keyboard (HID) or serial port, several per register. Each screen declares what it accepts: products, customers, employees, receipts, coupons. Codes that cannot come from a reader are refused.
Administration and reports
- Admin web app on the local network: catalog, taxes, employees and roles, registers, payment methods, printers, receipt layouts, extensions.
- Report web app for the numbers, reachable from the local network and, if you choose, from the Internet.
- French and English everywhere, with the language of each customer remembered.
Extensions
.NET extensions add steps before and after every sale action, sections in Admin forms and their own pages. The host validates everything an extension writes. Read the extensions guide.
