Scale Integration
Connect a compatible retail scale directly to the POS so that the weight of sliced meats, cheeses, olives, salads, and prepared foods transmits to the transaction screen without manual entry. Price calculation at the configured per-kilogram rate applies instantly, and the transaction records the exact weight sold. This eliminates weighing-and-typing errors that cause either overcharges that upset customers or undercharges that quietly erode your margins.

Sell-by-Date and Freshness Management
Assign preparation or pack dates and shelf-life periods to every deli product. The system flags items approaching expiry on the staff dashboard so counter staff can prioritise selling those items first, suggest them to customers, or apply a markdown discount before they hit the bin. Expired product removal prompts prevent accidental sale of out-of-date items, which is a food safety obligation under South African food handling regulations.

Made-to-Order Item Management
Handle custom orders, for example, a specific weight of a particular ham sliced thinner than usual, with modifier and specification notes that appear on the counter display and the receipt. Pre-orders for catering platters, cheese boards, and charcuterie selections are captured with collection dates and deposit payments, and they flow into the daily preparation schedule so the deli team knows in advance what needs to be prepared before opening.
queue
Counter Service Queue Display
A customer-facing queue number display and staff counter screen keep service orderly during busy Saturday mornings without the chaos of free-for-all counter service. Customers receive a printed or displayed number at entry, staff serve in sequence, and the queue status is visible on the counter display. Order tickets print at the counter for complex orders requiring preparation.

Fresh Stock and Wastage Tracking
Track stock in kilograms at the product level. Every weighed sale deducts the exact gram amount from the product's stock balance. End-of-day stock reports compare opening stock through deliveries and sales to expected closing stock, with any variance recorded as wastage or adjustment. This gives you accurate wastage data to inform your ordering quantities and reduce the cost of throwing away expensive aged cheese or cured meats.

Daily Special Pricing
Configure daily specials on specific deli products with a promotional price that activates and deactivates automatically at the configured time. A special on smoked salmon on a Wednesday afternoon to move Friday's delivery surplus is configured once and runs on schedule without staff needing to remember to change the price. All specials are logged in the reports as promotional revenue for your financial analysis.
