Counterly 2.0 — a counter built for speed and looks like it.

No public store directory. A device enters the Store Code once, then cashiers sign in with a 4–6 digit PIN — owners and managers can fall back to email + password. The device remembers its assigned store.

Categories and top SKUs render as large tap targets built for a moving line. Scan a barcode from any screen in the ticket and the line adds instantly — no mode switch required.

The register keeps a rolling list of the last five distinct items sold at that terminal, so a cashier ringing the same run of morning coffee or lottery packs never has to browse categories twice.

For repeat orders — a regular’s usual pack and a lotto ticket — same-as-last rebuilds the prior completed sale into a new open ticket, ready to tender.

Upload a photo per product in Admin (a direct image URL or an in-app photo) and it shows on the matching register tile — cashiers confirm the right bottle, flavor, or pack size at a glance instead of reading small print under pressure.

Print and email receipts send today; a store can also set a default choice in Receipt settings. SMS receipts queue on the ticket now and go out automatically once SMS provider certification completes — we don’t claim delivered SMS before that.

Lost internet doesn’t stop a cash sale. The register opens the ticket locally, tenders cash, and syncs the completed sale — plus age checks, manager overrides, and scans recorded offline — the moment connectivity returns.

A manager PIN entered once for a discount or void stays active for the rest of that transaction, so a line of approvals doesn’t mean re-entering the same PIN five times.

Pull an X-report anytime for a live read, then close with a Z that reconciles opening float, cash sales, card sales, paid-ins/outs, safe drops, lottery cash, and fuel — expected vs. counted, visible in Admin the moment the drawer closes.

Cashiers punch in and out from the register alongside their PIN session. Admin’s labor report totals hours per staff member per pay period and flags shifts running into overtime.

Training mode lets a new cashier ring real catalog items with zero inventory or ledger impact. Parallel-run tags real sales as a side-by-side comparison while you’re still keying totals into a legacy system during a migration.

Owners turn on tip prompting per store and set a default suggested percent. Cashiers see the prompt only when the setting is on — no forced tip screen for stores that don’t want one.

Apply multiple tenders to a single ticket in any order. The register always shows the exact remaining balance, so mixed-payment customers never slow down the line.

Sell a gift card, redeem it as a tender at any register, and see live balance and issue/redeem history in Admin. Gift cards work across every register at a store the same way cash does.

Attach a loyalty account by phone lookup, earn points on tender, and redeem points as a dollar discount at checkout. Tiers unlock automatically as a customer’s lifetime points cross a threshold.

Regulars and local businesses can charge a ticket to a house account instead of tendering on the spot. Admin tracks the running balance, records payments, and supports delivery / will-call orders against the account.
