POS for Tea shop in Kenya

Separate tea varieties and sealed pack sizes. Prepared tea sold by cup requires its own fixed service or menu item.

These six examples illustrate the configurable preset. Prices are sample figures, not market quotations. Replace them with your actual catalogue and counted opening stock before trading.

Suppose the opening count is 20 units of Tea leaves 250 g. Receiving 10 units and selling four should leave 26, before any recorded returns or adjustments. A physical count of 25 needs an explained adjustment; changing the selling price will not resolve the missing unit.

Illustrative till check: two Tea leaves 250 g units and one Herbal tea box total KES 950 at the example prices. If the drawer opens with KES 1,000 and this is its only cash sale, expected closing cash is KES 1,950. An M-Pesa sale of the same amount does not increase physical drawer cash.

Print distinct labels for Tea leaves 250 g and Herbal tea box. Scan each into an empty basket and check the displayed product, unit and price. Scanning the first label twice should add two units of the first item, not one unit of each. A barcode identifies an item; it does not usually supply its batch expiry date.

A test receipt for two Tea leaves 250 g units and one Herbal tea box should total KES 950 at the illustrative prices, before discounts. Check the unit labels, quantities and payment method against the basket. The cashier's display name belongs at the receipt footer; an unconnected sales receipt is not an eTIMS fiscal invoice.

Blending recipes and loose-weight measurements are outside the preset. Do not infer ingredient stock from the number of cups sold.

Fixed menu items and portions are supported. Recipe costing, ingredient deduction, table management and kitchen tickets are not included.

A customer taking two Tea leaves 250 g units at the example price owes KES 500 if the whole sale is on credit. A later KES 250 collection leaves KES 250 outstanding. It is a repayment against the existing balance, not another product sale. The blocked partial-credit return workflow must not be bypassed.

If the main shop has 12 units of Tea leaves 250 g and a second branch has five, a sale of two at the second branch should leave three there and 12 at the main shop. Check the branch and selling counter before checkout. This example does not imply an inter-branch transfer or dispatch system.

Offline access requires an initial connected load and device preparation. Shared workspace offline changes are owner-only; staff access and synchronisation need connectivity. Back up and rehearse recovery on sample records. A separate independent business needs its own installation and database.

US.99 one-off launch software licence for one business installation, including its branches and tills. Hardware, installation, hosting and support are charged separately. Future upgrades are subject to separately stated terms. Ask for a written quote stating the total and any applicable taxes before purchase.

Cash checkout and manually entered payment references are available. Automatic M-Pesa prompts, card processing and eTIMS submission are not connected in this release. These require their own provider setup and integration; a manually recorded reference is not payment verification.

Ask for a demonstration using Tea leaves 250 g, Herbal tea box and Tea strainer, rather than an unrelated generic product. Test one ordinary sale, an unknown barcode, a return and a closing count. Compare the demonstrated workflow with this business's specialist requirements before treating a preset as a complete industry system.
