Point of Sale
Billing, Promotions, Outlets and POS Reports
Bills that are right, offers that are controlled, outlets that report themselves. Billing applies the discounts and promotions the outlet allows, the service charge and the correct tax, then settles by any mix of payments. Each outlet reports its own sales, and the day closes outlet by outlet.

Breakfast verification
At the restaurant door the host searches by room or name and sees at once which guests have breakfast included and still to eat. The board counts entitled, consumed and remaining covers and the day’s utilisation; guests who ate are accepted and any extra guests are charged. A meal can be reversed if it was entered wrongly.
The problem
What goes wrong without it
- Discounts given without approval or record.
- Split payments and split bills worked out on a calculator.
- No clean cut-off between one outlet day and the next.
The result
What changes with CloudSon
- Discounts that leave a trail.
- Meal plan guests charged correctly at every outlet.
- Outlet profit visible by day.
