Counter sales
Ring up a sale. Move the stock.
Ring up the sale once. Tare7 records how the customer paid, removes the items from stock, and keeps the cost attached. No second update after the line is gone.
The result
The customer gets one clear total. You get the sale, payment method, stock change, and margin recorded before the next person steps up.
Where this helps
A shop counter, a market stall, a food-truck window or a trade van finishing a job in a driveway.
What you can stop doing
A card reader with a notebook next to it
Taking payment is usually the easy part. The mess starts later, when somebody has to remember what sold, reduce the stock, and work out whether the sale made money. Quick Sale handles all of that while the customer is still standing there.
Why it matters
If a sale never reaches your stock records, every quantity, reorder reminder, and margin figure after it is already wrong.
A worked example
Watch the loose ends disappear, step by step.
A shop counter. Two bags of House blend 250g at $14.00, one ceramic mug at $18.00, and gift wrapping at $4.00. State sales tax is 6.25%. The bags landed at $5.60 each and the mug at $6.50.

Tap three tiles
Add two bags of coffee, one mug, and gift wrapping. There is no SKU lookup, and Tare7 knows gift wrapping is a service—not something sitting on a shelf.

The ticket adds up in front of you
Subtotal $50.00. The tax chip is set to STATE · 6.25%, which puts $3.13 on the ticket. Total $53.13. The Take button carries the amount so nobody reads it off a screen and keys it wrong into the reader.

You take the money the way you already do
Card reader, payment app, cash, check, bank transfer. Then you tap which one it was. Tare7 records the tender — it never sees the card and never holds the funds.
- 4
The stock moves at the same moment
The coffee drops from 18 to 16 and the mug drops by one at the location that sold them. Gift wrapping does not touch stock because nothing physical left.

You can see what the sale earned
Tare7 keeps the cost that belonged to each item when it sold. On $46.00 of goods, the $17.70 cost leaves $28.30 of gross profit—before the next customer reaches the counter.

The mug comes back on Thursday
Refund the mug and it goes back into stock at the same cost it carried when it sold. The return restores the original sale instead of guessing from today’s price.
The customer gets one clear total. You get the sale, payment method, stock change, and margin recorded before the next person steps up.

What it means for your day
The same tool solves a different headache in each business.
Food truck / market stall
Speed is the whole job. Full-screen register mode, tiles big enough to hit without looking, and a queue that keeps moving. Recipe items release their ingredients rather than a phantom finished good.
How Tare7 fits this business
Retail store
A tablet on the counter, tax from your configured rate table rather than mental arithmetic, and per-item margin at the end of the week from the same rows the register wrote.
How Tare7 fits this business
Plumber / painter / HVAC
Parts and labor on one ticket. Service lines are invoiced but never released, so a call-out charge cannot quietly draw stock off the van. The phone layout adds labor by description, rate and hours.
How Tare7 fits this business
Warehouse
The counter is the exception, not the rule — most goods leave on a sales order and a pick list. Quick Sale covers the will-call desk and the trade counter without a second system.
How Tare7 fits this business
Before you rely on it
What this feature does not try to do.
If one of these limits matters to your business, it is better to know before you move the work—not after.
- Tare7 records how the customer paid; it does not process cards or hold your money. Keep using your preferred reader, payment app, or cash drawer.
- Tare7 does not currently open a cash drawer, drive a receipt printer, or power a customer-facing display. Receipts are sent or shown digitally.
- Older sales without captured cost are clearly excluded from margin reporting rather than being treated as if the goods were free.
- One tax rate applies per ticket, drawn from your rate table. There is no automatic jurisdiction lookup from a delivery address.
- Prices and totals are in your workspace's single currency. There is no multi-currency support.
Counter sales
One sale updates the ticket, the stock, and the margin—before the next customer steps up.
