Real products, live prices, in stock now ## Key takeaways - Shorter queues - Prices that match - Know your stock tonight - Cashiers you can trust ## What owners tell you A supermarket owner is judged at the till. Queues, wrong prices and empty shelves lose customers faster than any competitor can. - Queues at the till at lunch and after work, and customers leaving their trolleys. - Shelf price and till price do not match, and arguments follow. - Stock counts take days and never agree with what is on the shelf. - Cashiers make mistakes or take small amounts, and nobody can prove it. - The owner cannot see the day's sales until someone adds up the book. ## The words that sell Owners do not buy equipment. They buy the day they want to have. These are the outcomes to talk about when you pitch a POS to supermarket. **Shorter queues**: Scan, beep, pay. Every item goes through in a second. **Prices that match**: One price in the system, on the shelf and at the till. **Know your stock tonight**: Every sale takes the item off the shelf count. **Cashiers you can trust**: Every sale, void and discount is recorded against a name. ## Say it like this Short, plain lines work best. Use them as they are or put them in your own words. - “Your cashiers will scan, not type, so the queue moves faster from tomorrow.” - “You will know what sold today before you go home.” - “No more arguments over prices: the till shows what the shelf says.” - “You will see which items to reorder before the shelf is empty.” ## Your 30-second pitch Say this when you have the owner's attention at the counter. Stop after the question and let them answer. **Key takeaway**“Your cashiers will scan, not type, so the queue moves faster from tomorrow. You will know what sold today before you go home. No more arguments over prices: the till shows what the shelf says. Can I measure your tills this week and send you a written quote?” ## What the POS gives them | Part | What the owner gets | | --- | --- | | Barcode scanner | Reads every item in a second and cuts typing mistakes | | Touch POS terminal | Fast sales screen that cashiers learn in an afternoon | | 80mm receipt printer | Clear receipts that print quickly even at peak hour | | Cash drawer | Opens only on a sale and closes the book each shift | | Customer display | Shows the price as it is scanned, which builds trust | | UPS | Keeps the till working through a power cut | ## Answers to the usual objections | The owner says | You answer | | --- | --- | | It is too expensive. | Start with one till and grow. The system pays for itself in the mistakes and time it saves. | | My cashiers will not manage it. | Scanning is easier than typing. We train them on site before we leave. | | What if the power goes off? | A UPS keeps the till running, and the system saves every sale. | | I do not have barcodes on my goods. | Most packaged goods already do. We help you label the rest. | ## Available now at Qyvea These are real products from the Qyvea store with live prices.
