Built for the counter
Cigarettes, a case of Modelo, two Backwoods and $40 on pump 3 — then the same shelf sold again on DoorDash, Instacart and Saucey. One screen, one catalog, one drawer that balances at close.
One catalog, every channel it sells through
The platform
Four tablets behind the register is not an integration, it is a staffing problem. Orders from every connected channel land in one queue with the platform's own reference, the promise clock and the commission already worked out — accept, prepare, ready, handed off.
Ringing up is half a sale. The other half is a cashier under a queue reading an amount, taking a note, and getting change right — so payment is not a dialog on top of the ticket, it is the screen.
Marketplaces rank the stores that look active and bury the ones that look asleep. Uplift works those signals from your own week: what actually sold, what is sitting, and what each platform takes off the top.
"We're twenty short" is not a finding, it is a shrug. Drops, pay-outs, change orders and no-sales all move the expected figure, and the Z report is counted on a denomination sheet — so a missing twenty looks like exactly one missing twenty.
Placement
Stock freshness, live deals, competitive pricing, fast acceptance. Uplift keeps those four moving, because they decide whether a customer three blocks away ever scrolls far enough to see you.
An illustration of how placement moves, not a promise of a position. Uplift works the signals the platforms publish; where you land is still theirs to decide.
The difference
The middle column is how a counter without channel software runs — not a claim about any named competitor.
Your trade
Migration
Export the catalog from whatever you are on now and drop the file in. Columns are matched by name in any order — product, SKU, UPC, price, cost, quantity, category, case size, age flag.
Nineteen carry orders. The rest are the machines and services a store this size actually runs on — and the ones that send no orders say so instead of pretending to.
The rest of it
Scan a UPC with the device camera, or keep your keyboard-wedge gun — both type onto the same ticket.
Cash, card, Bitcoin, store credit and loyalty points across one sale, with change worked out.
Every sale, refund, receipt, count and waste writes a movement. The balance is derived, never typed over.
Refund two of six, restock or not, back to the tender the customer used — against the original sale.
Voids, refunds, deep discounts, pay-outs and no-sales each need a PIN, and each leaves a record.
The till runs in the browser off local storage. The internet going out is not a reason to stop selling.
The math
Your numbers, plain arithmetic. No benchmark, no claim about what any other store earns.
Where we stand
A register should earn its place on the counter. Counting what you were going to sell anyway is not earning it.— the HBB POS project

Send the shape of the store and we will come back with a walkthrough on your products, not a canned one.
Rather poke at it yourself? Try the demo — it loads a stocked convenience catalog and three days of sales, and keeps everything in your own browser.
