POS

Discount coupons

A festival offer is a decision made once by the owner and applied fifty times a day by whoever is at the counter.

Discounts given consistently

Announced offers go wrong in the execution: one cashier gives ten percent, another rounds it down, a third applies it to items it was never meant for. The customer notices before the owner does.

A defined coupon removes the arithmetic and the judgement from the counter. The discount is applied as it was designed, and because it is recorded on the bill, what the offer actually cost is answerable afterwards.

Running an offer

  1. 1Define the coupon

    What it takes off, and on what.

  2. 2Tell the counter

    Or let the customer bring the code.

  3. 3Apply at billing

    Picked on the bill, not calculated by hand.

  4. 4Count the cost

    The bills it was applied to are on record.

Inside POS

Counter billing for a shop with a queue: products a tap away, a barcode scan for the rest, split payments, and a shift that opens with a float and closes with a cash count. Counter bills land in the same books as every other invoice.

A till is used in bursts — open the shift in the morning, bill all day, count the drawer at night — so the parts that matter are speed at the counter and a clean close.

Questions people ask

Can customers bring a code?

Yes — coupon codes are checked and applied at the counter, alongside the discounts you apply yourself.

Can I see what an offer cost me?

Yes, because the coupon is recorded on the bills it discounted and the profit on each is known.

Does it stop staff giving their own discounts?

It gives them a defined one to apply; what each role may change is a permissions question.

Run the offer the way you designed it

The discount should not depend on which cashier the customer reaches.
