Common questions

Where should we start with cashless and POS?+

Read the cashless payments and POS guide, unlock the reconciliation and POS readiness checklist bundled with that guide, then map POS products to stock before doors open.

How do payments connect to inventory?+

POS records sales; inventory records on-hand stock. Use the inventory vs POS guide and POS product mapping checklist so depletion reflects what actually sold.

Which downloads are available in this hub?+

The reconciliation checklist ships with the cashless guide; POS product mapping and purchase order replenishment checklists are gated PDFs you can unlock from their resource pages below.

Can we reconcile mixed cashless bars overnight?+

With batch discipline, yes. The POS reconciliation article explains token, card, and top-up settlement when windows do not align.
