Playbook: grocery store or market
Scale labels for deli and meat, bottle deposits, cases and singles, EBT SNAP, forecast-driven reorder and shrink targets per department.
What you get
Choosing Retail gives you the scan-first register with EBT SNAP. The grocery tools — scale labels, bottle deposits, cases and singles and shrink targets — work on any plan; stock, reorder and shrink reports need POS + ERP.
Step-by-step setup
- Administration → Your business → Retail; Administration → Sales tax with a Groceries tax group where your state exempts food.
- Catalog → Departments: Produce, Deli, Meat, Dairy, Frozen, Grocery, Beverages, Household. Tick EBT / SNAP eligible on food departments and set a Shrink target (e.g. 3% produce, 1% grocery).
- Catalog → Items → Import your item file. For each scale item, type the scale's PLU.
- Point of sale → Grocery → Read scale labels at the register: what the label carries (the price, on most scales, or the weight) and the barcode layout; Check a real label to be sure.
- Bottle-bill state? Set Bottle deposit on each item (a 6-pack of cans at 5¢ = 0.30).
- Items bought by the case and sold as singles: on the case item, A case that opens into the single and Units in a case.
- Pricing → Price books: load your distributor's weekly cost file.
- Pair registers, add card readers, and ring a test sale with a scale label and a deposit item.
