1 / Build the system
Choose your stores, counters and services.
Start with your counters, then select services or request custom scope. The core equipment budget includes cashier and customer screens, a scanner, receipt printer and cash drawer per register.
Quick selections replace priced add-ons and keep custom requirements. Final service delivery and equipment specifications are agreed in writing.
Choose only the services you need. Monthly and setup prices are shown before selection.

2 / Make the business case
What could this add to your bottom line?
Use store-level numbers to calculate incremental contribution before tax. Extra sales count at their gross margin, and saved time counts as cash only to the extent you can actually reduce payroll or overtime.
Your assumptions
All inputs below are per store; results cover 1 location. Benefits ramp up over the entered months. Software replacement and processing differences begin in month one. Adding a service changes its cost; it does not automatically assume more sales or savings.
Sales & product margin
Time, stock & recurring expenses
Payment processing difference (optional)
Use total fees ÷ processed volume from the existing statement and the proposed merchant quote. No processing saving is assumed unless both rates are entered.
The path to paying for itself.
Cumulative contribution after setup, subscription and entered operating costs. Below zero means the investment has not yet paid back.
Enter expected extra sales or cash savings to draw your return scenarios. The target below shows what it takes to cover the investment.
