1. Gather your equipment. Your initial point of sale (POS) setup should include a windows computer equipped with POS software, sales slip printer for receipts, an ink jet or laser printer for invoices, an automatic cash drawer and bar code scanner. Acquire a basic setup for under $1500. Items for your POS system may be purchased independently. There are also companies that sell or lease pre-configured POS bundles.
2. Attach bar codes to your inventory. Create bar codes using a bar code printer. Each style must have a unique bar code to track movement.
3. Take inventory. Enter how many pieces you have of each style into the POS database. Having a portable stock counter facilitates this process.
4. Make sales. Some additional equipment can enhance your customer experience. The pole display allows customers to see purchases as they are tallied. Credit/Gift card processors expand your payment methods.
