Title: Looking for small business to trial POS
Post by: mav on January 18, 2012, 08:12:00 AM
I am creating a point of sale system which includes bitcoin as one of the payment options.

This system will initially be aimed at small retailers and restaurants and will double as business management software if required, although the focus is on point of sale.

There is a strong emphasis on the retail experience for both the staff and the customers. As such, I am looking for businesses in the Melbourne area who are willing to trial the system. It's very important that they be in Melbourne so there can be face-to-face interaction.

The aim is to launch this product for sale globally in June 2012.

If you are interested, or know anyone who is interested, please let me know.

Key features:
Provides all 'cash register' services.
Multiple payment options (cash, card, paypal, bitcoin/flexcoin, others as desired)

Additional features depending on nature of business:
Product and inventory management
Online ordering
Report creation (eg monthly report, tax report etc)
Payroll / staff schedule / timesheets
Reservations / seating / ordering / billing for restaurants

Is this aimed at physical retail space? or online only? or doesn't matter, as long as it's local and selling something?

I own a simmer sauce business in Melbourne; I don't have a permanent retail shop, but I do sell at farmer's markets and online (although I'm not fully functional online - basically email orders for cod). If that's not what you're after, all good.

I am mainly aiming to get these systems into bricks and mortar shops. I am still interested in talking with you Hunterbunter but am really looking for a fixed location as the current priority.

No worries at all, let me know if I can be of any help.
