Getting Started
Set up your first store
Get your store ready with a menu, POS, payment method, and first test order.
Get your store ready
Start with the basics. Explore the rest later.
You only need a store, a small menu, a working POS, a payment method, and one successful order to understand the core MiniTill flow.
Essential setup
These five steps are enough to try the normal counter-order workflow.
1. Store setup
Confirm the store basics and trading hours.
2. Menu setup
Add at least one category and product so there is something to sell.
3. POS ready
Prepare a POS device and launch the register from the hardware you already have.
4. Payments
Cash is enough to start. Connect Windcave later if you want integrated card payments.
5. Place your first order
Put a simple order through POS, take payment, and confirm it appears in Orders.
Recommended, not required
These are useful for many stores, but they should not block you from trying MiniTill.
Staff & access
Invite staff and assign roles when more than one person needs access.

Online Ordering, loyalty, gift cards, inventory, costing, customer display, Uber Eats, Xero, and the Developer API are useful next steps, but none of them are required to understand the basic MiniTill workflow.
