How to take orders on the KaroBaryaar POS
A step-by-step look at ringing up a sale — adding items, applying discounts, splitting payments and holding a bill for later.
The point-of-sale screen is where most of your day happens, so it’s built to be fast and hard to get wrong. Here’s how a typical sale works.
1. Add items to the bill
Add products in whichever way is quickest for your shop:
- Scan a barcode with any USB or Bluetooth scanner — the item drops onto the bill instantly.
- Tap a quick key for items you sell all day, like bread, milk or a chai.
- Search by name when you’re not sure of the code.
Each line shows the quantity and price. Tap a line to change the quantity, adjust the price, or remove it.
2. Apply a discount (if you need to)
You can give a discount on a single line or on the whole bill — a rupee amount or a percentage. If you’d rather cashiers couldn’t change prices, you can lock that down in staff permissions.
3. Take payment
Choose how the customer is paying — cash, card, or a wallet like JazzCash or Easypaisa. You can also split one bill across two methods (say, part cash and part card), and the system tells you the exact change to return.
Selling on credit? Put the balance on the customer’s udhaar account and settle it later.
4. Hold a bill for later
Busy counter? Hold the current bill, serve the next customer, and pull the held bill back when the first customer returns. This is especially useful for restaurants running several tables at once — see the restaurant POS features for table-based ordering.
5. Print or send the receipt
Finish the sale and print a receipt on your thermal printer, or send a digital receipt. The layout is tuned for standard 80mm receipt rolls and local formats.
That’s the whole flow: add, discount, pay, done. Most cashiers are comfortable after a single shift. When you’re ready to set up your own counter, message us on WhatsApp and we’ll get you started.
