Why Custom Screens Matter in a Point of Sale—and How ClerkHound Makes It Easy
In a fast-paced retail or service environment, your point of sale (POS) shouldn’t slow you down—it should move at the speed of your business. One of the most overlooked, yet powerful, ways to improve efficiency is by customizing your POS screen to match the unique flow of your operations.
At ClerkHound, we believe that a one-size-fits-all POS layout just doesn’t cut it. That’s why we give you the tools to create custom screens tailored to the way your team works. Whether you're running a guitar shop, a boutique retail store, or a quick-service restaurant, having the right items in the right place can make a world of difference.
Why Custom Screens Matter
Think about your typical transaction. Are there a handful of items you sell repeatedly? Do you offer bundles or kits that are frequently purchased together? Or maybe you have seasonal products that need to be front and center during certain months.
Instead of scrolling through long lists or digging through menus, a custom screen lets your staff access exactly what they need with fewer taps, fewer mistakes, and faster checkouts. That adds up to a better customer experience and more time for everything else that matters.
Favorites & Bundles: Built for Real-World Workflows
ClerkHound makes this easy with two core features: Favorites and Bundles.
- Favorites allow you to create quick-access buttons for your most-used items. Think of it like a shortcut bar for your top sellers. Need to ring up a set of guitar strings or a daily lunch special in a flash? Just tap the favorite.
- Bundles let you group multiple items into a single tap. Sell a “Guitar Starter Pack” that includes a strap, tuner, and gig bag? Instead of adding each item individually, just tap the bundle and it all goes into the cart—clean, fast, and accurate.
And yes, you can still do all the heavy lifting with ClerkHound's power features, so the front register doesn’t have to look like the back repair desk!
A POS That Works For You
At the end of the day, your POS should serve your business—not the other way around. ClerkHound gives you the flexibility to build a checkout screen that mirrors your real-world workflows, reduces training time, and helps your team get customers out the door faster.
Your shop isn’t generic. Your POS shouldn’t be either.
