Unlike most point of sale systems, Checkout can make reliable backups of your store while you and your coworkers are logged in and making sales. Make your own luck with as many backups as you want, no matter how busy the floor is. To restore from a backup, simply double-click the backup file in the Finder, type in your password, and as an extra security measure, provide a new login password for all employee accounts. Even stores with thousands of sales, products and customers, take under a minute to restore.*

Employees
When you welcome a new member to your staff, Checkout's Example Store offers a great way to train them without messing up your data. You decide who gets access to what, only employees with a manager account can export data and use other management features.
Reports
Clear information is key for any manager. Checkout's reports give an interactive overview of a wide variety of performance metrics. Choose from a wide range of ready made reports, or make your own custom ones. For some serious number-crunching, you can simply export reports to an Excel, Numbers, CSV or TSV file.
Stock Room
A proven way to maximize profit in retail is to minimize stock.

Log in. Done.
Built for Speed
Checkout is optimized for fast searches. So whether your network is wired or wireless, and whether your database is large, extra large, or ridiculously large, when a customer asks you a question about a product or an order, you can answer as quickly as it takes you to type a word or two in the search field.

A cash drawer lets you save space by completely replacing your legacy cash register. Thanks to tight integration with Checkout's payment functions, your sales will be even more efficient.
