The Basics: POS Use

Starting Balance

To input your starting balance at the beginning of your day, navigate to the Number 3 sidebar tab and select Starting Balance/ Cash Deposit. You will then be prompted to input an amount. This amount will be the cash amount you wish to enter into your drawer.

After entering your quantity, select the enter button on the screen (it looks like an arrow) and you should see it populate on the receipt.

You will then process this as you would a normal cash transaction in order to add it to the drawer.

    Change Quantity/Change Price

    In order to change quantity or price, you will want to input the number you wish to change it to and then select the button to make the change.

    For example, if you want to change the quantity of an item to 10 you type 10 on the number pad in the bottom left and then click Change Quantity.

    The receipt will change to a quantity of 10 for whatever item is currently selected. If you repeat that action and type 10 and then select change price, the individual price for those items would be 10, which, in this case, if tax-free, would come out to a total of $100.

    To open the product search, select the 2 at the top right to open the sidebar with this button.

    The product search feature is especially useful if you have a product with a defective barcode, a product without a barcode and can’t find where you put the button for it, or if you want to check the name of a product to see if you stock it.

    If you are only looking for one item to add select the add item and close button after you locate the product you are looking for. If you are looking to add multiple. Highlight each product you would like to add and choose Select Product for each one. This will add a product for each time you select this button.

    Processing a Sale

    Learning how to ring up a sale is fundamental to using any POS system. To do this add any and all products you wish to purchase.

    After you select Total, you will notice that the current balance owed is located in the total above the keypad at the bottom of the screen. Hitting any payment method, such as Cash or Credit, will charge that amount (the full total owed) to the selected payment method.

    Receipt Archive

    In the receipt archive, you will see your 15 most recent receipts displayed on the screen. All others will be allocated to the KORONA Studio back office.

    Don’t worry, though. You are able to pull up receipts on the POS using a receipt that the customer could bring in from that prior sale. You can then scan it and the receipt will come back onto the screen to process a return.

    Here, you are also able to print out receipt copies, gift receipts, copy a previous transaction, and void receipts, as seen in the example below.

    Possible Situations

    The customer wants to pay partly in cash:

    Let’s say the customer owes 20 dollars on this receipt and wishes to pay 5 dollars in cash.

    The payment screen will currently show a 20 in the payment amount. So, if you hit cash, it would charge the full amount as cash. If you instead select 5 and then Cash, it will charge only 5 dollars as cash.

    The remainder will then populate in the payment field as the remainder owed. If you then select Credit the remainder of 15 dollars will be charged to the card.

    Customer wants to pay with 2 cards:

    To split the amount between two cards input the amount you wish to charge to one card on the payment screen and select Credit Split Payment.

    It will send the split amount to the credit card terminal and once that is processed you can select Credit on the payment screen to collect the remainder from the other card.

    Beginning Day/ End of Day Procedure

    Input starting balance: Entering the starting balance is necessary for accurate cash management and tracking daily cash flow.

    End of day procedure: Completing the end-of-day procedure helps reconcile daily sales, manage cash, and generate essential financial reports.

    Timekeeping

    Clock in/out: Accurate timekeeping is vital for payroll management and tracking employee hours. Ensuring staff know how to clock in and out helps maintain precise records.
