F&B and Retail editions · Built in the Philippines

Point of sale for Philippine cafés, restaurants and shops.

Ring up sales on a tablet and print a Sales Invoice with the details the BIR asks for. When the internet drops, the till keeps selling and sends everything once the line is back.

30 days free for one store. No card needed to start. Then ₱1,250 + VAT a month per store (₱1,400 with 12% VAT).

Sample invoice for a table of two with one senior. The senior's half is VAT-exempt and 20% off; the other half stays VATable.
Two editions

Pick the edition that fits how you sell.

Both editions share the same till, offline mode, BIR records and price. Each is its own app with its own sign-up.

F&B

Next P.O.S. for Food & Beverage

For cafés, restaurants and food stalls.

The F&B till on a tablet: a floor plan of eight tables showing which are taken, for how long and each running bill, with table 3’s order beside it.
  • Floor plan showing which tables are taken, for how long, and the running bill.
  • Dine-in, takeout and delivery, with service charge, tips and bills split by item.
  • Kitchen display with station tabs and ticket timers, or tickets on a kitchen printer.
  • QR table ordering: guests order from their phone, your staff check it and send it to the kitchen.
  • Item photos, choices and add-ons. Mark an option sold out and the till greys it out.
  • Recipes that take ingredients out of stock as you sell, plus purchase orders and part deliveries.
Retail

Next P.O.S. for Retail

For shops, boutiques and convenience stores.

The Retail till on a tablet: a box to scan a barcode or search, school supplies with the stock left on each, and a cart with shirt variants, the VAT and a Checkout button.
  • Barcode scanning with any USB or Bluetooth scanner that types like a keyboard.
  • Variants such as size and colour, each with its own SKU, barcode, price and stock.
  • Price labels with barcodes, printed on your receipt printer.
  • Purchase orders and receiving, including part deliveries, with reorder suggestions from your sales.
  • Stock counts that several phones or tablets count together, then post in one go.
  • Product import from Excel or CSV, and stock transfers between your stores.
In both editions

Run the store from the counter or from your phone.

Your store on your phone

Home shows today's sales against the same day last week, and a short list of what needs you: a day not closed, stock running low, a drawer that came up short.

Approve from your phone

A cashier taps Ask a manager. You approve the void, refund or cash-out on your own phone. Each approval works once, for that one action.

GCash and QR Ph, paid to you

Connect your own PayMongo account and the till shows a QR Ph code at checkout. The payment confirms by itself and the money goes to your account.

Customer display and e-receipts

A second screen shows the customer each item, discount and the amount due. The invoice carries a QR code that opens a copy they can keep.

Loyalty points and promotions

Customers earn points per peso and use them as a discount. Promotions apply by themselves: percent or peso off, buy X get Y, or a happy hour.

Staff PINs and an activity log

Staff sign in with a PIN. Voids, refunds and discounts need a manager unless you allow them. Each one goes into an activity log that shows if an entry is later changed or removed.

Offline

When the internet drops, the till keeps selling.

The till runs on a tablet you pair to your store (Retail: a paired laptop also works), and it keeps its own copy of the day. Sales wait on it and send themselves when the line is back. The top bar always shows how many are still waiting.

A till stops taking sales after 14 days offline, 2,000 unsent sales or ₱500,000 of unsent sales, whichever comes first. It warns you from day 2.

Works with no internet

  • Sign in with your PIN and open a shift
  • Ring sales and take cash, card or a GCash reference
  • Print the invoice
  • Void or refund with a manager's PIN
  • F&B: send tickets to a kitchen printer on your network
  • Restart the tablet and carry on

Needs the internet

  • Closing a shift and QR Ph payments
  • F&B: QR table orders and split bills
  • Each cashier's and manager's first sign-in on a tablet
  • Pairing a new device, and your owner pages and reports

A till registered with its own BIR machine number (MIN) also gives invoice numbers and takes the X and Z readings offline. Other tills print a temporary reference and get the invoice number when they reconnect.

BIR records

The invoices, readings and books, kept as you sell.

The prices you sell at include VAT. On every sale the till works out the VATable, VAT-exempt and zero-rated amounts, and the records below build up by themselves.

Practise first. A new store starts in training mode, so its invoices print TRAINING MODE. Turn it off once your BIR permit is approved.
Sales Invoice
Your TIN, MIN, serial number and permit number (Acknowledgement Certificate or PTU) on every invoice, with VATable, VAT-exempt and zero-rated sales and the VAT.
Senior, PWD and other discounts
The qualifying amount is VAT-exempt and 20% off, with each ID and name on the invoice. F&B also handles national athletes, Medal of Valor awardees and diplomats. Retail also handles national athletes and Solo Parent items.
X and Z readings
Take an X reading at any time. Each day's Z reading is chained to the one before it with a hash, so a changed figure shows up.
E-Journal
A copy of every document the till issued, which you can download as a .txt file.
BIR sales books
Senior, PWD, national athlete and Solo Parent books, plus voids, refunds, manual and offline-issued sales. Download them as Excel.
eSales and accounting exports
A monthly eSales file with the month's totals and every sale, and a daily journal and invoice register as CSV files for your bookkeeper.

FAQ

Questions owners ask us.

How much does it cost?

₱1,250 + VAT a month per store (₱1,400 with 12% VAT), with one till included. Each additional till costs ₱625 + VAT a month (₱700).

Paying yearly costs ₱12,500 + VAT per store (₱14,000), which is two months free, and ₱6,250 + VAT (₱7,000) for each additional till. Kitchen displays (F&B), customer displays and manager phones for the same store are free.

Every store starts with a 30-day free trial, and no card is needed to start.

What happens when the free trial ends?

Nothing is charged automatically. We email you 5 days and 1 day before the trial ends.

To keep the store, open Billing, choose monthly or yearly, and pay by card through PayMongo. Your menu or products, sales and settings stay as they are.

Does it print the BIR Sales Invoice?

Yes. Since RR 7-2024 the main sales document is the Sales Invoice, and that is what the till prints, with your TIN, MIN, serial number and permit number (Acknowledgement Certificate or PTU), and the VATable, VAT-exempt and zero-rated amounts.

A new store starts in training mode, so its invoices say TRAINING MODE while you practise. Turn it off once your BIR permit is approved. See the BIR records.

What works without internet?

On a paired tablet (Retail: or a paired laptop) the till keeps selling: sign in with your PIN, open a shift, ring sales, print invoices, and void or refund with a manager's PIN. Sales wait on the till and send themselves when the line is back.

Closing a shift, QR Ph payments and the owner pages need the internet, and in F&B so do QR table orders and split bills. A till stops selling after 14 days offline, 2,000 unsent sales or ₱500,000 of unsent sales, whichever comes first. See the full list.

What hardware do I need?
  • An Android tablet for each till, with the app from Google Play: Next P.O.S. F&B or Next P.O.S. Retail.
  • Retail: a paired laptop also works and prints through the browser.
  • An 80 mm thermal receipt printer, connected by USB or to your network, printing through the Next P.O.S. app or the RawBT app.
  • A cash drawer plugged into the printer. It opens on cash sales.
  • Retail: any USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner that types like a keyboard.
  • F&B: a tablet for the kitchen display, if you use one. It costs nothing extra.
Does it handle Senior and PWD discounts?

Yes. The cashier enters each senior's or PWD's ID and name, which print on the invoice. The qualifying amount is VAT-exempt and 20% off, and the invoice shows the VAT removed and the discount on separate lines.

In F&B the discount covers the qualifying guests' share of a shared bill and leaves out alcohol and tobacco. In Retail it covers the sale.

Who owns my data?

Your business does, and we do not sell personal data. You can download orders, shifts, reports and BIR books as CSV or Excel at any time.

BIR rules require sales records to be kept for up to 10 years. To close your account, email sales@nextcoretechnology.com; we complete it within 30 days. Read the privacy policy.

Can I run more than one store?

Yes. During the trial an account has one store. Once a store is paid you can run up to 3, each with its own menu or products, staff, tills and BIR details.

The Your stores page shows today's sales for all of them, and you can move stock between them.

Which edition should I choose?

Choose F&B if you serve guests at tables or a counter and send orders to a kitchen. Choose Retail if you scan barcodes and sell from shelves. Each edition is its own app with its own sign-up. Compare the editions.

Try it at your counter for 30 days.
