1.5 years using School POS (Positive Retail Manager).

Queen Creek School Store has a hybrid POS station with the option to use either a smart keyboard or touch monitor sales interface. The rear customer monitor displays sales transactions, a store logo & marketing messages (rotating picture slides). Barcodes are scanned effortlessly with the fast Orbit omni-scanner. If a food, beverage, spirit, apparel, or school supply item does not have a barcode, then the cashier can select a button on the touch screen or smart keyboard. Some hot buttons represent combo deals, which allow the cashier to select a package of several predefined items at a planned discount.

Students have created combo meals named after school personalities:

Watchful Eye (parking lot guard) & Chuck Norris (hall guard)

See the signs below that students strategically place around the school.

QR codes are also posted so students can scan them with their phones for special school store deals.

Congratulations to Maria & her students in bringing marketing concepts to life at Queen Creek School Store.

School store of the month: "Abe's Corner"

Michigan - Lincoln High School
"Abe's Corner"

9 years using School POS. The students have learned well how to run a professional business. Since their move to a new store location (near the cafeteria), they can now accommodate the increased customer flow (students & teachers). With 3 front POS stations, sales of healthy food & beverage items, as well as school-spirited apparel items can be processed fast and efficiently. Back-office accounting, reports, graphs, and barcode labels can be generated effortlessly at their 4th manager's station.

Abe's Corner upgraded to the new POSitive Retail Manager software and took advantage of all the POS sales features it had to offer:

2 POS stations use the smart keyboard sales interface, and 1 POS station uses a touch screen monitor with a rear customer monitor for marketing messages (similar to a digital sign). All 3 POS stations have the fast Orbit omni-scanner. All 3 POS stations can send food preparation items to a video bump bar (like McDonald's), where students make the food order and, when done, bump it off the screen, which prints a prep ticket. The customer picks up the food order at a window, and the employee matches the prep ticket number with the customer's invoice number. Very cool!
