Re: [TheThinkTank] point of sale software?

      How did you get it for free? LightSpeed has told me they might be able to
give a discount, but not free. (And at $80/month for 1 register and 3
volunteers, I doubt even a steep discount would work for us.)
MerchantWarehouse also only serves US customers.
We've been looking into using Square Register's POS system; doesn't seem as
fully-featured as MerchantOS/LightSpeed, but aside from initial capital
costs (iPad, holder, and optional cash drawer) and the transaction fees,
it's free!  (We've mostly just been holding out for a free/cheap iPad.)

Recycle-A-Bicycle just switched to Merchant Warehouse. It was recently
bought by Lite Speed, so mot sure how this will affect the system. We like
it now.

Cycle Transitions, a small do-it-yourself bike shop in Cobourg, Ontario
has been in existence for a year now and we're happy to say that it's been
a great success (25+ volunteers, 80+ members, a busy shop, high school
students doing community service hours, and ~$7000 income from sales,
memberships and donations!) We feel we're ready to take another step in our
development - a real cash system including cash box and point of sale
software. We'd like to know what other shops are using and how you
integrate this with your accounting. Please let us know what's working for
you.
thanks!
