  2. ๐Ÿฐ2Fill the shelvesChoose pictures for the things you sell and pick a price for each one.
  3. ๐Ÿ›Ž๏ธ3Serve a customerTap the things they want. They land on the order, and it adds up for you.

๐ŸŽฉ Shopkeeper tricks

๐Ÿ”–Put things on saleGive something a sale in your items โ€” the till charges the sale price, and the tags and menus show it too.
๐ŸงพChange an orderTap a thing on the order to make it 2 or 3, write a special note like 'no veges please!', or take it off.
๐Ÿฝ๏ธBook the tablesCafรฉs and restaurants get tables โ€” book one for Grandma, print a sign for each, and fold them so they stand up.
๐Ÿ•Breakfast, lunch & dinnerFood can belong to meal times, and the menu prints them in sections โ€” just like a real cafรฉ.
๐Ÿ“ŠCheck the reportSee today's takings, the whole week, and your best sellers ever. A proper little business!
๐ŸงพPrint old receiptsEvery sale is remembered โ€” reprint any receipt whenever you like.
๐ŸŒŸSpend your takingsThe money you earn buys real treats in the upgrades shop โ€” a shop puppy who greets customers, sticker packs and more.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ง For grown-ups

The bits a child will never ask about.

What it teaches

Recognising coins and notes, adding up a basket, working out whether the money handed over is enough, and counting change back. The till never simply gives the answer โ€” it shows what is still owed and lets them try again.

Printing

Everything prints on plain A4 from a normal printer: play money, barcode stickers, shelf price tags, menus, table signs, sale posters and receipts. Print one, a few, or a whole sheet.

Stickers and the camera

The camera reads the codes this app printed, and nothing else. It scans straight from the preview โ€” no photo is taken, kept or sent anywhere.

Money from your part of the world

Fifteen currencies, each with its own real notes and coins. Change it any time; your shops and prices stay exactly as they are.

Where the data lives

In the app itself. The grown-ups corner on the home screen saves a backup file you keep yourself.

If it all goes wrong

Shops can be edited or closed from the home screen. Everything sold is listed under Report, and any past sale can be reprinted as a receipt.
