A new supermarket opened up recently called "The Approved Market". It’s a small supermarket where all the items they sell are considered healthy hence their tag line "Guilt Free Grocery Shopping". I passed by earlier today to check it out and I think the place has potential since for the most part they had a bunch of products and brands I hadn’t seen in other local supermarkets. But, on the other hand, the range of products isn’t that vast with the majority of the items consisting of chips or jar food items like jams, honey, butters, etc. They of course did have other items like healthy breads, quinoa based products (like pasta and risotto), salad dressing and even alkaline water, but those items were few and far between.

Point of Sales

Accuracy: Scanning is more accurate than punching in numbers from a sticker, or expecting the cashier to remember what each item costs.

Analysis: POS systems let you manage inventory, flag items for reorder, and analyze sales patterns. A point-of-sale system is, at heart, a cash register but because it’s based on a PC, it opens up a new world of data about your business.
