Counter sales (POS)

Counter sales is the front-desk till for walk-in retail and quick billing. It is built for speed: pick a customer (defaults to retail), add inventory lines, take payment, and print a receipt — without running the full job review pipeline when that is not needed.

Selling at the counter

• Search and add tyres, parts, labour, or custom lines. Prices respect the selected customer’s account pricing when applicable.
• Optionally attach a registration — lookup can pull vehicle details from the motor vehicle register when your deployment supports it.
• Load an open quote or draft invoice for the selected customer when you are finishing work that already exists on paper.
• When finance settings require odometer readings on invoices, speedo and hubo fields appear before you complete the sale.

Taking payment

Choose Cash, EFTPOS, or Credit card. Cash records tendered amount and change. Card sales can include a configured surcharge shown before you confirm. When payment succeeds, TreadOS creates the invoice and opens a receipt you can print.

Where Xero or QuickBooks is connected and counter-sales posting is enabled, the sale can sync as authorised and paid using your finance defaults — workshop operations still complete even if sync is temporarily unavailable.

End-of-day reconciliation

Use the POS settle report under Work → Reports to compare TreadOS totals with your physical till and terminal for a date range. Export CSV when accounts need a spreadsheet copy.
