Once the RETAIL7 application is launched on your chosen device, you can configure it to serve different purposes depending on your operational needs. The app supports a variety of client types, each designed to fulfill specific functions within your business environment.
The available client types include:
POS (Point of Sale): The central application or operational hub where transactions are processed, payments are completed, and receipts are issued. It’s optimized for speed, accuracy, and cashier interactions, serving as
Customer Display: A real-time companion screen that mirrors the transaction for the customer’s view. It shows each item added, the total amount due, and tipping prompts where relevant—keeping things transparent and interactive during checkout.
Stock Management Client: Used behind the scenes to monitor inventory levels, manage incoming and outgoing goods, and adjust stock entries as needed. It provides oversight of your logistical flow and supports accurate product availability across sales channels.
Digital Signage Client: Transforms any screen into an engaging visual tool for promotions, announcements, or branded content. It’s not interactive, but it plays a key role in shaping customer perception and driving in-store engagement through motion and messaging.
Kitchen Display: Specifically built to organize orders for kitchen staff in hospitality environments. It replaces traditional printed tickets and helps teams track preparation times, order sequence, and completion status, boosting overall service speed and communication.
Order Assistant: A handheld or mobile-based ordering solution that allows staff to input orders directly from the service area. Orders are sent instantly to the kitchen or bar, reducing errors and speeding up delivery, especially useful in busy restaurants and cafes.
In the following chapters, we will introduce each of these clients in detail, outlining their primary functions, and how they differ from one another to help you determine the best use for each within your operation.
