| Business need | Where to start |
|---|---|
| Sales, product stock and staff access | Compare Basic and the cashier/report workflow. |
| QR orders, members, promotions or recipes | Compare Pro and the available add-ons. |
| Another outlet | Set up its staff access, operational settings and subscription. |
| Printer or cashier terminal | Confirm the hardware model and connection separately. |
A small shop: start with products and stock
List each product, selling price and barcode where used. Record opening stock before the first real sale. Basic includes cashier, sales reports, inventory and staff tools, so you can start by checking how one sale changes the receipt, outlet report and item quantity.
A café or food counter: test the complete order
List drink sizes, toppings and meal options before building the menu. Check the cashier and kitchen destinations together. If your workflow also needs ingredient recipes, customer membership or table QR ordering, compare Pro and the available add-ons with the team.
Budget for the outlet and the equipment
Software subscriptions are managed per outlet. Hardware, delivery and optional add-ons are separate costs. A downloadable APK is not a lifetime free subscription. Compare the current monthly and annual prices on the plans page and confirm the intended device before paying for equipment.
Use the trial to reconcile a working day
New businesses receive a 14-day trial at sign-up. Enter a small real-world catalog, assign staff permissions and test your payment methods. At the end of the test, compare receipts, collected payments, the shift screen and stock movements. Check any difference before staff begin normal service.
What your team can do
- Cashier, product inventory, sales reports and staff tools in Basic.
- Online store, QR orders, members and ingredients in Pro.
- Separate outlet access and subscriptions as the business grows.
- An automatic 14-day trial for a newly registered business.

- Choose a small catalog and record its correct opening quantities.

Questions before you start
Is Taro POS suitable for an Indonesian UMKM?
It provides cashier and outlet management tools for small restaurants, cafés and retail businesses. Match your catalog, devices and required reports with the actual workflow during the trial.
Which plan is the practical starting point?
Basic covers cashier, reports, inventory and staff. Compare Pro when you need connected online ordering, members, promotions or ingredient tools. Check the current plan details before subscribing.
Must I buy a complete cashier machine package?
Hardware and software are available separately. Ask the team to check your existing device and printer before deciding whether to replace them.
Can I keep a notebook while trying the app?
You can use a small test set and compare its receipts and reports with your reference records. Define when real operations will switch and record opening stock once to avoid counting the same sale twice.
New businesses receive a 14-day trial automatically at sign-up. After the trial, choose the subscription for each outlet.
