Are you an owner of a bar or restaurant? If yes, are you running any POS software to better manage your business?
One really tedious task for all owners at the end of the day includes calculating and summing up the total sales made for the day. Imagine if there are a total of 500 customers in a day. We are talking about manually calculating 500 bills in a day just find out the total sales made for the day. This problem will not exist if your bar or restaurant is running on a POS software.

I’ve just started a cafe business and FreePOS looks very interesting. Can you change the currency to work in British Pounds? If so do you see a Pound symbol £ or GBP?
Thanks
