Your first sale

Before you start

• You can sign in to Kade and get around (see the Home and finding your way around lesson).
• A shift must be open on this PC. If it isn't, the till shows an Open a shift card: count the cash in the drawer and press Open shift.

Step by step

1. Open the till

Every sale in Kade starts with one key. Press F2 from anywhere, and the till opens in Point of Sale, ready for the first item.

2. Find an item

The search box takes a barcode, an item code, or a few letters of the name. Results appear as you type, with the unit, the price and what's in stock. Press Enter to add the highlighted item to the bill.

3. Sell several at once

To sell more than one, type the quantity, a star, then the code. 3*BLD-0152 puts three sand bags on a single line.

4. Quick items

Goods without a barcode, like cement sold by the bag, sit on quick tiles. Pick a category, then tap the tile.

5. Check the bill

The bill keeps a running total, with tax worked out on every line.

6. Take cash

When the customer is ready, press F8 for cash. The amount due is already filled in. Tap the note they hand you, and Kade shows the change to give back.

7. Complete the sale

Press Complete. The receipt prints, and the change stays on screen in large type until you scan the next item.

Good to know

• For an exact cash payment you need only three keys: F8, Enter, Enter.
• Kade warns on the line itself, without stopping you, when an item is below cost or there isn't enough stock.
• Card, QR pay and mobile money payments need the payment's reference code before the sale can complete.
• A printer problem never blocks a sale. If the receipt doesn't print, reprint it with Ctrl+P.

Try it yourself

1. Press F2 and add one item by typing part of its name, then Enter.
2. Add three of another item with the quantity, a star and its code.
3. Tap a quick tile, then press F8, tap a note larger than the total, and complete the sale.

Recap

That's a complete sale. F2 to start, search or scan to add items, F8 to take cash.
