Sweets by weight, with tare for the bag
If you sell sweets in a bag the customer fills, you tap the weighed item and the till reads the weight from the linked scale. With a tare unit you deduct the weight of the bag or tub, and the receipt line shows the net weight and the price per kilo. Onlinefact works with scales from CAS, KERN and Mettler, among others. A pre-filled bag with a fixed price simply becomes a button.
Setting up your till for sales by weight
A few settings in the back office, and from then on the till weighs and calculates for you.
- ✓ Link your scale in the back-office settings.
- ✓ Create the kinds you sell by weight as weighed items with a price per kilo.
- ✓ Record tare units for your bags and tubs.
- ✓ Set up the pre-filled bags as buttons with a fixed price.
- ✓ Add photos to the buttons, so even a student helper finds them quickly.
“In a sweet shop every amount is small, but on a busy Wednesday afternoon every second counts.”
With buttons, a scale and a terminal that receives the right amount at once, the queue at your counter moves faster.
Treats for schools, parties and companies
A teacher orders treats for a pupil's birthday, a company wants sweet boxes for a staff party. You draw up a quote, turn it into an invoice in one click and send it by email or via Peppol. If the school pays by bank transfer, the bank link lets you find that payment on the invoice straight away.
