Appearance
5-minute tour for a brand-new cashier
Use this page when you are brand-new on the till and need a short walkthrough of the first six screens before you serve a real customer.
Goal
Walk a brand-new cashier through the first six screens they will use, in order, before they serve a real customer.
Where this happens
On the till app (Retail POS). Prefer the demo store for practice. Live store only after your supervisor confirms subscriptions and devices are active.
- At the till: sign in with your PIN on the device at the counter (or the demo store for training).
- In the back office (Core App): supervisors set your PIN and float — you do not open the Core App as a cashier.
Prerequisites
- A PIN set by your supervisor (Finance & Admin → HR Management → Employee Security in the Core App).
- A till device that is registered for your store.
- Demo store access for training, if your franchise provides one.
Steps
1. Sign in
- Turn on the till. If the screen asks for franchise or store, pick the ones your supervisor named.
- Enter your PIN and confirm.
- What you should see: the sale screen (POS) ready for a barcode or search — not a red subscription or device message.
- If the next control is missing: PIN locked, device not registered, or subscription expired — stop and tell your supervisor. First fixes: Error codes → first fix. Admins: Onboarding.
2. Find a product
- On the POS screen, scan a barcode, or type the stock code / description in the search box.
- Tap or select the matching item so it drops into the basket.
- What you should see: one line in the basket with name, quantity, and price.
- If the next control is missing: no products found — check spelling and store; ask a supervisor to create or correct the item under Stock Management (top-level sidebar group). See Error codes → first fix.
3. Add more lines and check the total
- Add a second item the same way (scan or search).
- Change quantity on a line if the customer wants more than one.
- Remove a wrong line with the remove / delete control on that row.
- What you should see: a running total that matches the lines in the basket.
- If the next control is missing: quantity or price rejected — enter a real number and unit; ask a supervisor before forcing a price override. See Sales.
4. Take payment
- Choose the payment method your store uses (cash, card, or other).
- Enter the amount received when the screen asks for it.
- Confirm change or balance due, then tap Save or Complete.
- What you should see: a saved sale with a reference number (and the basket cleared for the next customer).
- If the next control is missing: sale will not save or shows upload pending — stay on the app; do not take payment twice. See Working offline and Error codes → first fix.
5. Print or share the receipt
- If your store prints, confirm the receipt comes out (or use the share / reprint control if the first print failed).
- Give the customer the paper or digital proof with the reference.
- What you should see: a clear receipt for this sale only.
- If the next control is missing: printer not found or receipt will not print — check power and paper, then ask a supervisor; you can still give the on-screen reference. See Error codes → first fix.
6. End User Shift
- When your supervisor says stop, open End User Shift on the till home screen (this is how the app labels closing your cashier shift).
- Count the drawer against the till totals. If your store uses a partial cashup, complete that step before you leave.
- Sign out. Never leave the till signed in overnight.
- What you should see: shift closed and totals recorded for your supervisor's store cashup.
- If the next control is missing: variance on the shift screen — recount each payment type and tell your supervisor before saving. Day shape: Daily routines.
Expected result
- You can complete one practice sale and close your shift without calling Support.
- You know which six screens matter on day one and who to ask when a control is blocked.
Edge cases
- PIN locked — stop trying; ask supervisor or franchise admin to reset under Finance & Admin → HR Management → Employee Security.
- Device not registered — each till device is registered to your franchise during setup; if a device won't register, contact Support.
- Subscription expired — franchise admin renews under System & Settings → Billing → Subscription & Accounts; the till will refuse logins until then.
- No products found after a correct scan — supervisor checks stock for this store; see Onboarding if the store is brand new.
- Internet drops mid-sale — finish on the till; upload happens later. Working offline.
