POINT OF SALE SYSTEM OF BIG BREW CAPITOL BRANCH

Abstract

The Point of Sale (POS) system is crucial for any business, serving as the main platform for processing sales transactions. Initially designed for retailers to complete sales, modern POS systems now offer additional features such as sales tracking and reporting. However, at Big Brew's Capitol Branch in Caloocan City, transactions are still processed manually, leading to inefficiencies, errors, and time-consuming operations. This research aims to develop a user-friendly POS system tailored specifically for Big Brew to streamline transaction processes and enhance overall efficiency. The development of the POS system for Big Brew's Capitol Branch followed a structured approach, incorporating data collection through staff interviews, customer surveys, and industry research. A feasibility study was conducted to evaluate technical, operational, and financial aspects. The system was designed using VS Code and MySQL Workbench, with Agile methodology guiding iterative development, focusing on user authentication, transaction interfaces, and sales reporting. Rigorous testing ensured system reliability before installation, configuration, and staff training. Post-implementation feedback was gathered to facilitate continuous updates and improvements based on operational needs. The developed POS system effectively addressed several critical operational issues at Big Brew's Capitol Branch, significantly reducing transaction errors and inefficiencies. The new system streamlined sales transactions while providing robust reporting capabilities.

Key features included a comprehensive main dashboard for super admins and admins, enabling them to generate sales reports, track trends, and monitor overall sales performance. The POS interface facilitated essential operations such as initiating the business day, processing transactions, managing product details, and conducting end-of-day procedures. Additionally, the product management module allowed super admins and admins to efficiently handle product information, including product codes, names, prices, and categories. The implementation of the POS system at Big Brew's Capitol Branch has significantly enhanced operational efficiency and financial record accuracy. It minimizes human error, improves transaction precision, and provides valuable insights through detailed sales reports. While initially designed for Big Brew, the system is adaptable for similar businesses with comparable needs.

Future research could explore enhancements such as online access and multi-currency support to expand its functionality. Despite certain limitations, the new POS system represents a major advancement for Big Brew, helping the business remain competitive in the digital age.
