From Boyle Heights to Koreatown, one register for LA.
LA’s independent grocers sell in Spanish, Korean, Chinese and Vietnamese, often in the same week. GetGroceryPOS gives each cashier their own screen language and prints product names the way customers say them.

from$39/moAn LA grocer’s week
Monday is deliveries from three distributors. Wednesday is the produce truck. Friday the line wraps around the banchan counter or the carnicería. And CalFresh, California’s name for SNAP, comes through on the same register as everything else.
That week needs purchase orders that accept partial deliveries, case-to-unit stock for ramyeon and canned goods, label scales at the meat counter, and a split tender that works with your certified EBT processor.
