The Competitive Edge for Liquor Retailers
Frequently asked questions by liquor store owners:
How long will it take me to get my store up and running?
When we deliver and install your new computer system, you will be up and running as soon as we get the computer plugged in and turned on. Each
system includes a database of thousands of items -so you don't have to be bothered typing every item in. As you ring up each item for the first time, it will check for the price - if there is no price for that item yet, it will ask you for it, and then remember it.
What kind of barcode reader should I use?
The two main types in use today are the "hand held laser scanner" and the "in-counter" scanner. The handheld has the advantage of being a little less

You simply move the bottle over the scanner and the label is read. With your other hand you can be holding the paper bag that the bottle is going into.

Do I have to print a receipt for every sale?
Many store owners find it is not necessary to print a receipt except when the customer asks for one. So they leave the invoice printing turned off,
and if the customer needs one, it is just one key press, to print it after the sale. (You can always print a receipt for the prior sale, even if you have already started ringing up a new customer.)
Sometimes we start ringing up a sale and the customer wants to go look for more items. Can I "suspend" that transaction and come back to it later?
Yes. No matter how many items are on a sale, you can suspend the sale and come back to it later
