A day at the counter in the Netherlands, step by step
- Scan a barcode or tap an item; goods sold by the kilo come from a label-scale barcode.
- The price is the one you set, or what the item cost plus your margin; a discount or a refund carries a reason and a name.
- The customer pays by iDEAL (online/QR) or Pin (debit, Maestro/V Pay); the bill and the stock are updated together, and card payments stay on your own pinautomaat / betaalterminal.
- At closing you count the drawer and close the day; running-low items turn into a purchase order for the supplier.
