Short definitions of the terms you meet when choosing a register and a POS system, and how each one works in Konty.
A POS (point of sale) system is the software, and the hardware around it, on which sales happen: items, receipts, payment methods, stock and reports. The register is the part that issues compliant receipts; the POS runs the whole business around it.
Konty is a cloud POS system for hospitality and retail: the same application on a computer, tablet and in the browser, with fiscal compliance built into the register. Products
A KDS (kitchen display system) is a screen in the kitchen or bar where orders from the register appear instantly, with timing and preparation status. It replaces paper tickets and cuts errors between the floor and the kitchen.
In Konty an order reaches the KDS the moment the server enters it, and the kitchen marks when the dish is ready. Konty for Hospitality
A recipe is the list of ingredients and quantities for one dish or drink. When the item sells, the ingredients are deducted from stock automatically, and the recipe shows what the dish really costs.
Konty Hospitality keeps recipes from the Standard plan up and deducts ingredients with every receipt. Konty for Hospitality
Purchase costing is the document that takes an item from purchase price to selling price: margin, tax and the final price per item. It records the difference between the purchase and selling value of goods and is posted with the goods receipt.
In Konty you create costings in the Back Office together with the goods receipt; register prices change as soon as it is posted. Grocery & Supermarkets
A price adjustment is the document that records a change to the selling price of goods already in stock: old value, new value and the difference. It is used for markdowns, promotions and price alignment.
Konty keeps price adjustments per item and location, so a seasonal sale in a boutique or a promotion in a supermarket stays properly recorded. Grocery & Supermarkets
A goods receipt records goods entering stock from a supplier, with quantities and purchase prices. A delivery note accompanies goods leaving, to a customer or another location, and is the basis for an invoice or a stock transfer.
Both documents live in the Konty stock module; a delivery note between two of your locations moves the stock automatically. Konty for Retail
A proforma is an offer or pre-invoice the customer pays before delivery; on its own it is not an invoice. An advance invoice is issued when the customer pays part upfront and records the deposit until the final invoice.
Konty creates proforma and advance invoices with the customer's details and tracks every partial payment until the deal is closed. B2B & Wholesale
Offline mode means the register keeps issuing receipts when the internet is unavailable: data is stored locally and synced when the connection returns. Each country sets its own fiscal rules for offline receipts.
Konty works offline on every platform and syncs by itself when the connection returns. Products
A cloud POS keeps data on servers rather than on a single computer: the same items, prices and reports are available from any device, backups and updates run automatically, and a broken device does not mean lost data.
Konty is a cloud POS with a local app for Windows, Android and macOS and a web version; a replacement device picks up where the old one stopped. Download Konty
