The Sellify manual

Written for the people who actually use the system: the owner setting a shop up, the manager keeping it right, and the cashier at the till. Every field name here is the label you see on the screen.

Setting a shop up, in order

Each step needs the one before it. For a small shop this is about an hour. Everything after it — home delivery, an aggregator, a staff canteen — is added when you need it and is never in the way if you do not.

  1. 1Check your branches — Everything else belongs to a branch
  2. 2Add your staff — So people can sign in, with the right powers
  3. 3Set how the shop behaves — Order types, approvals, receipt, day close
  4. 4Set your taxes — A sale cannot be priced correctly without them
  5. 5Build the menu or catalog — What the POS sells
  6. 6Set up stock — Only if you track it
  7. 7Write recipes — Restaurants — what a dish costs and consumes
  8. 8Set up the printer — So the receipt comes out right
  9. 9Pair your tills — A cashier cannot sign in without one
  10. 10Start selling
  11. 11Close the day — Every trading day, before going home

Knowing where you stand

Three rules worth knowing first

  • The server decides every figure. The till never multiplies a price — it asks the server, which is why a discount, a tax rate and a total can never disagree.
  • Everything is per branch. Prices are company-wide, but taxes, receipts, stock, the business day and printers all belong to a branch.
  • A business day is not a calendar day. If your day starts at 7am, a sale at 2am belongs to yesterday — on the receipt, in the reports and at day close.
