POS system

What a POS system is

The system records each item, adds up the bill, takes cash or card and issues the receipt. Because it keeps every sale, it also shows the owner what sells, when and for how much. Connected to a loyalty program, it can add stamps or points from the bill itself and take a reward off a later one. Rewardly connects with four POS systems, Dotykačka, Storyous, Papaya POS and PORTOS, on the Advanced and Professional plans.

How it works for a café, salon or restaurant

• A café rings up drinks in a few taps, and the stamp lands on the customer's card with the payment.
• A salon ties each payment to a service, so the history shows who books what.
• A restaurant sends orders from the table to the kitchen and splits the bill at the end.

What to watch

Before choosing a till, check what it can share with other tools, because a closed system makes every later connection harder. Ask how it handles a discount and a reward on the same bill, and try it at the busiest hour, not only in a demo. If your till is not on the list, staff can still scan the card with the Rewardly scanner next to it.
