For comprehensive automation of a draft beer store based on the Torgsoft program, it is necessary to select the appropriate license, a set of additional options for working with excisable goods and weighted snacks, as well as compatible trade equipment.
1. Torgsoft Licenses (software)
The choice of license depends on the number of stores and the workflow scheme. The program is purchased once and used indefinitely (except for some subscription-based options).
Torgsoft-Start: suitable for one small store where accounting is kept on a single computer. This version allows you to keep warehouse records, sell goods, connect a scanner, receipt printer, and software RRO.
Torgsoft-Ultra: should be chosen if you have one store but need advanced functionality (for example, marketing tools, loyalty system, work with VIP clients, or more complex salary calculation schemes for salespeople).
Torgsoft-Terminal: necessary if you have a chain of stores (two or more) or want to manage the store remotely (for example, the owner from home, and salespeople in the store). It allows working in a single database via the Internet.
Torgsoft-Online (Rent): if you do not want to buy a license immediately, you can rent the program and server monthly. This is convenient for starting a business with minimal initial investments.
2. Necessary additional options
For a draft beer store, options for complying with legislation on the trade of excisable goods and speeding up service are critically important:
Software RRO (pRRO): a mandatory option for the fiscalization of alcohol sales. It allows registering receipts with the tax authority via the Internet without purchasing a physical cash register. The option is activated for each cash register separately.
Excise tax declaration: helps to automatically generate reports for the tax authority regarding sold excisable goods (beer, cider, etc.). For correct operation, it is necessary to specify the product category (for example, "Beer") in the product card.
Bank terminal connection: allows connecting the bank's POS terminal to the program. When paying by card, the amount is automatically transferred to the terminal, which eliminates cashier errors during manual amount entry and speeds up service.
Electronic scales connection: necessary for selling weighted snacks (fish, squid, nuts). The weight is automatically transferred to the receipt during weighing, which prevents fraud and errors.
Deleting statistics of closed periods (optional): useful for optimizing the database after a long period of operation so that the program works quickly.
3. Trade equipment
For the full operation of the cashier's workplace, the following set will be needed (prices are not indicated according to the request):
Computer or touch monoblock: the main device on which the program is installed. For a beer store, it is convenient to use a touch monoblock for quick product selection on the screen; it takes up less space and looks aesthetically pleasing.
Receipt printer: necessary for printing fiscal receipts (via pRRO) and non-fiscal receipts. For a beer store, a printer with a ribbon width of 57 mm or 80 mm with auto-cutter is suitable.
Barcode scanner: a 2D scanner capable of reading QR codes is strictly required, as it is necessary to scan excise stamps for alcohol sales.
Electronic scales: for weighing snacks. Scales are connected to the computer via a COM port or USB adapter.
Label printer (optional): if you pack snacks yourself, this printer will allow you to print stickers with a barcode and weight for quick scanning at the checkout.
4. Main features of the program for beer store automation
Torgsoft ensures a full cycle of accounting for specific goods:
Accounting for excisable goods: the program allows entering UKTZED codes for each type of beer, which is mandatory for display in the fiscal receipt. The ability to scan and transfer the excise stamp code to the receipt during sale is also implemented.
Work with sets (tare sale): you can configure the automatic addition of tare (bottles) when selling draft beer or use the bundling function so that when selling a liter of beer, both the liquid and the bottle are written off from the warehouse if they are accounted for as a set.
Packing and sale of weighted goods: convenient interface for quick sale of fish and snacks with automatic cost calculation based on weight received from electronic scales.
Personnel control: the system records all actions of salespeople, opening/closing of shifts, which minimizes abuse and theft.
Sales analytics: you will be able to see which beer varieties sell best, control residues in kegs (via liter accounting), and place orders with suppliers in time.
Fiscalization: automatic transfer of sales data to the tax authority via pRRO with the formation of Z-reports.
