Solutions · Businesses with several counters
More than one counter, one set of records.
When two or three counters bill at once, they must share one stock count and one list of customers. Both BILL OS and DINE OS keep one set of records that every counter uses.
The product for this
BILL OS
Billing, stock, payments, customers and GST in one system that runs on a computer in your shop.
From ₹499 a month
Also relevant: DINE OS, the till, the kitchen, tables, menu and stock in one system for a food business.
The problems
Where the day goes wrong for businesses with several counters.
- 01
Counters that disagree
Separate billing on each counter means stock and sales have to be merged by hand.
- 02
Who billed what
Mistakes are hard to trace when everyone uses the same login.
- 03
A device loses connection
One counter dropping off the network should not stop the queue.
A working day
How it fits into the day.
An outline of a realistic day. Your own routine will differ.
- 01
Set up
BILL OS runs on one shop computer; other computers, phones and tablets on the same network open it in a browser.
- 02
Sign in
Each person has their own login and role, so every bill shows who made it.
- 03
Bill
All counters share the same products, prices, stock and customers.
- 04
Close
Count each store’s drawer and review the day’s sales by salesperson.
Features
The features that matter here.
Documented capabilities, each explained on its own page.
- BILL OSBilling and checkoutEvery step a cashier repeats has a key, so a sale can go from customer to receipt without touching the mouse, even with a queue at the counter.
- BILL OSCash drawer, staff and permissionsOpen the drawer with the change you start with, record cash in and out with a reason, and close with a count. Each login sees only what its role allows.
- DINE OSRestaurant till and order hubThe till sends items and quantities, and the price always comes from the menu. Every order, whatever the channel, lands in one list.
Hardware and setup
What you will need.
One computer that stays on while the shop is open, plus the devices used as counters on the same network.
Questions
Common questions.
What if the main computer is switched off?
Other devices reach BILL OS only while it is running on the main computer, so keep that window open (minimise it rather than closing it).
