What does an event need from a POS system?
At an event, trade fair or festival, lots of visitors arrive in a short time. At the entrance you need to check tickets quickly, and inside you want to sell drinks, food and sometimes merchandise at several points at once. With a separate ticketing system and a separate hospitality POS, you have two systems, two end-of-day closings and figures you have to combine yourself.
In Count-IT, ticket sales and ticket scanning and the hospitality POS are in the same system. You create an event with ticket types, such as a day pass or a child ticket, and during the sales period they appear as buttons on the POS. At the entrance you open the scan screen for each event. At the bar and in the catering your staff take payment on a fixed POS, a tablet or a phone, and orders go to the right kitchen or bar printer.
If you have several halls, bars or a catering point, you use departments to separate revenue, users, printers and cash counts per area. That way the reports show what each bar or location has sold, and every point of sale closes the day with its own cash count, while products and prices stay centrally managed.
