POS by industry: 26 business types

Choose your business and test the workflows, equipment and costs that matter before choosing a POS.

We make VoVi. These are buyer checklists, not independent certification or hands-on test results. Restaurants are outside VoVi’s supported industry list.

Coffee shops & coffee carts

Sell a large coffee with oat milk and an extra shot; check the receipt, preparation note and final price.

Bakeries & pastry shops

Sell individual pastries and a mixed box, then record the unsold batch at closing without treating it as a sale.

Food trucks & street-food vendors

Run a busy mobile-counter sale, reconnect after an internet interruption and reconcile cash with the external terminal.

Ice cream & dessert shops

Sell two scoop sizes with paid toppings; verify which choices change the price and what appears on the preparation ticket.

Juice, smoothie & bubble-tea shops

Order a drink with a size, sugar level and topping; check ingredient consumption against the configured recipe.

Grocery, convenience & general stores

Scan a mixed basket with a weighed item and a discount, then return one line and check stock and totals.

Delis, butchers & fresh-food shops

Weigh a product with packaging tare, print or scan its label and verify the unit price and refund calculation.

Clothing, footwear & accessories

Exchange a size without losing the original discount; check the returned size and replacement size in stock.

Cosmetics, skincare & fragrance

Sell a shade variant and a gift set; record a tester separately and check that stock does not count it as a customer sale.

Gifts, souvenirs & specialty shops

Sell a gift bundle, redeem a gift card where the plan supports it and process a partial return.

Jewelry & watches

Trace one serialized watch from receipt to sale and return; verify who can discount a high-value item.

Electronics & mobile-phone stores

Sell a device with its serial number and accessories; retrieve the exact device when a customer returns.

Homeware, décor & furniture

Order a large item with a deposit and delivery details; check the remaining balance and the eventual stock movement.

Pet shops & pet supplies

Sell different bag sizes of pet food, inspect batch or expiry information and locate a customer's usual purchase.

Toys, games & hobby shops

Reserve a popular item, receive a new shipment and complete the sale without selling the reserved stock twice.

Bookshops, stationery & art supplies

Scan book and stationery barcodes in one basket, apply a school-list discount and return one item.

Sports, outdoor & bicycle shops

Sell a sized garment and a serialized bicycle; check separate stock tracking and the customer purchase record.

Hardware, tools & DIY shops

Sell a tool and material measured by length or weight; test unit conversion and the resulting receipt.

Florists, plant shops & garden centers

Build a bouquet order with delivery instructions, record perishable stock loss and check the order's margin.

Wine, beer & liquor stores

Sell a bottle and a case, check pack quantities and test the age-check procedure with staff and the payment provider.

Vape, tobacco & smoke shops

Scan similar variants, check stock by strength or flavor and test the age-check and return procedures.

Hair salons & barbershops

Book a service with a staff member, add a retail product and tip, then verify the commission and daily close.

Nail salons & beauty studios

Book a treatment with an add-on and its extra duration; check staff availability, checkout and the next booking.

Spas, massage & wellness

Book a treatment against staff and room availability, sell a package and check how a used session is recorded.

Mall carts & retail kiosks

Fit the full checkout on the compact device, test receipt printing and swap staff without losing attribution.

Pop-up shops, markets & events

Move event stock out and back, complete sales with intermittent connectivity and reconcile that event separately.
