Point of Sale (POS)

Overview

SODOO POS (Point of Sale) is a modern point-of-sale solution designed for retail shops, cafés, restaurants and the service sector. With its fast, user-friendly interface and fully integrated structure, it makes your business's sales operations easier.

The POS Interface

The POS interface has a modern design optimised for touchscreens. Products are on the left; the basket and payment section on the right.

Interface Sections

• Product area: Products grouped by category. Tap to add to the basket.
• Basket: Chosen products, quantities and prices. Editing and deleting quantities.
• Numpad: A numeric keypad for entering quantities and prices.
• Payment buttons: Cash, credit card and other payment methods.
• Customer details: Loyalty card or customer selection.

Session Management

Every POS working cycle starts and ends with a "session". The opening float is set when the session opens, and the till is counted at closing.

Opening a Session

1. Open the POS application
2. Choose the point of sale you want to use
3. Click the "New Session" button
4. Enter the opening cash amount (cash count)
5. Start selling with "Open Session"

Closing the Session

1. Choose "Close Session" in the POS interface
2. Count the physical cash
3. Enter the count result in the system
4. The system compares it with the expected amount
5. If there is a difference, enter an explanation
6. End the session with "Close and Confirm"

The Sales Process

Basic Sales Steps

1. Choosing products: By tapping the screen or scanning the barcode
2. Setting quantities: With the numpad or the +/- buttons
3. Applying discounts: Per product or across the basket
4. Choosing a customer: For the loyalty programme or an invoice (optional)
5. Payment: Choose the payment method and enter the amount
6. Printing the receipt: Giving the customer a receipt

Selling with a Barcode

If a barcode reader is connected, scanning the product barcode is enough. The system recognises the product automatically and adds it to the basket. Scanning the same product again increases the quantity.
