Weighed items and tots
Sell by the kg with scale labels, and sell tots from a bottle while tracking the bottle's stock.
- For owners
- For managers
What it's for
Butcheries, delis and bars sell things that aren't counted one by one. Weighed items are priced per kg. Tots take a measure from a bottle, and your stock shows how much is left in the bottles.
Weighed items
- Add the product with Unit
kgand tick Sold by weight (kg). Weighed items must use kg. - Enter the price per kg, for example
45.99. - At the till, the cashier either types the weight or scans the label printed by your scale.
Scale labels
Most shop scales print a 13-digit barcode starting with 20–29. The next digits are the item code, followed by the weight or the price.
- Set the item's barcode to the label's first 7 digits: the prefix plus the item code, for example
2100123. - Under Settings, tell us which prefixes your scale uses for weight labels (default 21) and for price labels (default 22).
Tots and measures
Track the bottle, and sell the tot.
- Add the bottle, for example Gin (bottle), with Unit
mland Pack size750. Selling a whole bottle takes 750 ml off the stock. - Add the tot, for example Gin tot, with its own price. Turn Track stock off for the tot itself.
- Open the tot and, under Components, choose Gin (bottle) with quantity
25. Every tot sold takes 25 ml off the bottle's stock. - Mixers and simple recipes work the same way: a component for each thing one sale uses.
Common questions
The stock page says "4.2 packs (3,150 ml)". What does that mean?
You have 3,150 ml of gin across all open and unopened bottles. That's 4.2 bottles of 750 ml.
It says "Components can't have components".
Recipes go one level deep: a tot can use a bottle, but the bottle can't use something else, and a product that is used as a component can't have components of its own.
Can stock go below zero?
Yes. A sale is never blocked because of stock. Negative stock shows up on the stock page so you can fix the count.
