The comparison, point by point
Cost: a phone you own vs a full counter setup. Space: pocket vs dedicated counter. Power: built-in battery vs UPS dependency during load-shedding. Training: familiar touch apps vs new desktop software. Mobility: billing anywhere in the shop vs behind one desk (offline POS, retail POS).
Where computers still win
- Very high-volume supermarkets with fixed cashier lanes.
- Back-office accounting depth beyond daily retail needs (app-vs-accounting comparison).
- Multi-terminal single-counter setups with shared printers.
- For everyone else, phone POS plus a small printer covers billing, stock, khata, and reports (billing app).
The practical test
Run your busiest day on phone POS during the trial week. If queues clear and totals reconcile, the computer counter was furniture, not infrastructure.
