Guide 02

Point of sale

The cashier workflow

Before selling +

Confirm the correct branch, open the cashier shift, and enter the opening cash amount.

Order type +

Choose Takeout for counter orders. For Dine-in, choose an active table configured for the current branch before opening payment.

During checkout +

Search or scan products, confirm quantities and variants, apply an authorized discount, and select payment methods.

After payment +

Confirm change due, complete the sale, then print a customer copy or customer-and-merchant copies together. Tracked stock updates automatically.

Table on records +

The dine-in table appears on both receipt copies, the sales invoice register, and exported sales records.

Owner reprints +

Merchant owners and branch managers can open Sales Reports, select an invoice in the register, and print its merchant copy again.

Closing work +

Use an X reading for a running view. Close the shift and create the final Z reading when the cashier day is complete.

Guide 03

Products & inventory

The stock workflow

Catalog structure +

Categories, brands, and units keep product records organized. Variants represent sizes, flavors, or other sellable options.

Tracking stock +

Each branch holds its own inventory quantity. Products can opt out of tracking when quantity control is unnecessary.

Stock movements +

Opening balances, sales, goods receiving, and manual adjustments each create a traceable movement record.

Adjustments +

Use adjustments for verified corrections, damage, expiry, or other controlled stock changes. Always provide a clear reason.

Guide 04

Purchasing & suppliers

The replenishment workflow

Supplier setup +

Record the supplier contact, terms, credit limit, opening balance, and operational notes.

Purchase orders +

Choose a branch and supplier, add products and quantities, review costs, then submit the order.

Goods receiving +

Enter the quantities actually received. The system updates stock and records the receipt against the purchase order.

Supplier ledger +

Review purchases, balances, and recorded payments to follow what the business owes.

Guide 05

Reports

The review workflow

Sales +

Filter completed sales by date and branch, review totals and payment activity, then export when needed.

Inventory +

Review branch quantities, product status, and inventory values to support counts and replenishment.

VAT-aware summary +

Review taxable, VAT, zero-rated, and exempt amounts based on recorded product tax treatment.

Important +

POSONLY supports operational reporting. Your accountant remains responsible for validating records and statutory submissions.

Guide 06

Account & billing

The administration workflow

Branches +

Merchant owners can add branches within the plan limit and maintain branch details and status.

Dining tables +

Merchant owners and branch managers use Tables to add, rename, order, activate, or deactivate tables for branches they manage. Inactive tables cannot be assigned to new dine-in sales.

Staff +

Merchant owners add team members, assign a branch, select a permitted role, and activate or deactivate access.

Plan & cycle +

The billing page displays current plan status, trial or paid period dates, and monthly or annual choices.

Payment review +

Select an active payment destination, send payment using its instructions, and submit the provider reference for approval.
