Tanong lang sa mga may higit sa isang branch, o may dalawa o tatlong magkaibang negosyo.

1. Paano mo nakikita ngayon kung alin sa kanila ang mas kumikita? POS report, Excel, notebook, o kutob lang?
2. Kung magkaiba ang sistema ng bawat isa (POS sa mall, Excel sa isa, notebook sa isa pa), sakit ba talaga na pagsamahin sila, o 30 minutes lang once a month at tanggap mo na?
3. Sa mga bumili ng POS tapos tumigil: ano ang pumatay, presyo, staff, o yung encoding?

Nagtatanong ako kasi may ginawa akong konsepto para dito. Isang simpleng page na pinagsasama ang benta ng lahat ng branch kahit magkaiba ang pinanggalingan, tapos sinasabi kung alin ang malakas at alin ang mahina. May kasama rin itong counter tool para sa cashier, yung total at sukli, para yung sales record ay lumalabas na lang sa mismong pagbebenta at hindi na dagdag na encoding.

Libre, walang signup, walang binebenta. Konsepto pa lang ito, kaya gusto ko munang malaman kung totoo ba talaga ang problema bago ako magpatuloy. Kung may gustong makita, sabihin niyo lang sa comments.

Most multi-branch owners I've worked with aren't on one system. One location has a POS, one keeps a spreadsheet, one is still paper. So no dashboard sees the whole business, and the owner ends up texting each branch to find out how the day went.

I built something that takes all three and puts them in one view. Before I build the hard part, getting the data out of each branch automatically. I want to know whether I'm solving a real problem or a symptom you all stopped noticing years ago.

If you run 2+ locations: is this actually a problem, or do you have a group chat that works fine?

I built a free cashier tool because Filipino store owners still ring up sales on pocket calculators

I kept running into the same thing in small shops here: the counter has a calculator, and the day's sales get written into a notebook at closing time — if at all. So the owner of 2–3 branches has one branch on a POS, one on Excel, one on paper, and no way to see the whole business.

My first attempt was a dashboard. Nobody would use it, because it asks you to do data entry today and pays you back a report tomorrow. That's homework.

So I built the counter instead: a cart with a running total, cash tendered, change due, per-item price memory. It pays back immediately, and the sales data becomes a byproduct — export a CSV that pastes straight into the dashboard.

Three static HTML pages. No backend, no accounts, no network calls at all — everything is in localStorage. Which also means no sync, and that's the honest gap I haven't solved.

What I actually want to know: is "give away the thing that saves them time now, get the data as a side effect" a sound wedge, or am I talking myself into it?
