# SageBizet

> Free all-in-one business software: POS, inventory, sales reports, appointment booking, an online store, cash drawer and customer tabs. Runs in any browser. Point of sale, inventory, sales tracking and reports, appointment booking and reservations, an online store and marketplace, cash drawer, expenses and profit, customer credit tabs, and staff roles — in one account, so each sale updates stock, cash and reports at once.

Price: Free during early access — every feature, no credit card, no per-user or per-device fees.
Platform: Web app for any modern browser (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS); installable as an app (PWA). No special hardware.
Audience: Any small or growing business that sells products or services or books time — cafés, restaurants, bars, salons, barbershops, retail shops, supermarkets and grocery stores, clinics, car washes, hotels and guesthouses, gyms and studios, rental and service businesses — in any country, any currency, any timezone.
Resilience: If the internet drops, the till keeps taking sales and syncs them when the connection returns; a retry can never record a sale twice.
Cafés and restaurants: Businesses that sign up as a café or restaurant also get a café till with sizes and options priced on each item, dine-in, takeaway, pickup and delivery orders, tax included or added, a dine-in service charge, tips and split bills; table and pickup orders sent to bar and kitchen screens with timers, a pickup board, a live floor plan with moves, merges and split checks; recipes that use up ingredients as each item sells (sizes scale them, options swap or add ingredients), food cost and margins, suppliers and purchase orders with receiving, waste by reason, stock counts; promotions (percent, amount off, two for one, bundles, happy hours), a loyalty stamp card or points, guest profiles; an opt-in public menu with ordering from a table's QR code that staff confirm; registers with cash in and out and shift reports; café insights with menu engineering, signals worth attention, and a daily closing report. Card payments are not processed and kitchen printers are not driven.
Retail shops: Businesses that sign up as Retail also get products with up to three options they name (size, colour, fit…) where every combination is a variant with its own SKU, barcode, price and stock; a variant matrix and a colour-by-size stock grid; SKU patterns and in-store EAN-13 barcodes; barcode labels for a label printer or A4 sheets; brands and collections; a till that shows one tile per product with a size-and-colour picker, scans the exact variant, and takes split payments with tax; CSV import with column mapping and a check before saving; a shop dashboard with stock value and low or sold-out sizes; returns and exchanges from a scanned receipt, refunded at the price actually paid, with a return policy managers can override; store credit; gift cards; a customer profile with their sizes, brands and returns; stock by location across branches with transfers, holds, purchase orders received by scan, supplier returns, counts with shrinkage reasons, the full movement history of each variant; markdowns with a price history; customer groups with their own prices; promotions by brand, collection, branch and group; loyalty points with tiers; shop insights with sell-through, sizes, collections, staff, suppliers and shrinkage, dead stock, reorder suggestions, signals worth a look, a branch view with staff limited to branches, and fitting-room slips.
Supermarkets: Businesses that sign up as a supermarket get everything retail shops get, plus products sold by the piece or by weight (the cashier types the weight or scans a counter-scale label with the PLU and the weight or price), packs such as a 6-pack or a case with their own barcode and price, tax rates by product with each rate on the receipt, an age check for alcohol and tobacco, a scan-first checkout that keeps a compact catalogue on each lane and works offline, a lanes board, cashier handovers, a cash office reconciling every shift, and shelf labels with the price per kilo or litre, buying by the case with approvals, supplier profiles, waste by reason, a shelf fill list, warehouse distribution, batches and expiry dates taken earliest first, an expiry board, recalls, a fridge temperature log, bulk and scheduled price changes with a preview, prices by branch, buy-some-get-some and so-many-for-a-price offers, members-only offers, a reorder list that shows its working and rounds to cases, a numbers page per product, profit by month, basket analysis with products bought together, and checkout demand by hour. No direct scale connection.
Gyms: Businesses that sign up as a gym also get memberships and renewals (freezes, plan changes, transfers), check-in by member number, card or name with a self check-in kiosk, payments and dues per member, leads and trials, a daily follow-up list sent by staff over WhatsApp or SMS, a member view in the member's own account with a QR pass that changes every 30 seconds and works offline, at-risk members, classes with waitlists, personal training packages and trainers, and gym reports. Cards are not charged automatically.

## Comparisons (honest, with sources)
- [SageBizet vs Square POS](https://sagebizet.com/compare/square-pos-alternative): Square is the better choice if you want card payments, hardware and a POS from one company in a country Square serves; SageBizet is the better choice if you want POS, inventory, booking, cash drawer, expenses and customer tabs in a browser, free during early access, with your own card terminal.
- [SageBizet vs Loyverse](https://sagebizet.com/compare/loyverse-alternative): Loyverse is the better choice for a native phone or tablet app with payment integrations and a customer display; SageBizet is the better choice if you also need booking, an online store, a cash drawer, expenses, customer tabs and staff roles without paid add-ons.
- [SageBizet vs Shopify POS](https://sagebizet.com/compare/shopify-pos-alternative): Shopify POS is the better choice for a business whose online store is central and that wants in-store and online sales, payments and inventory on Shopify; SageBizet is the better choice for a counter-first business that wants POS, booking, cash drawer, expenses and customer tabs free during early access.
- [SageBizet vs Fresha](https://sagebizet.com/compare/fresha-alternative): Fresha is the better choice for a salon, barbershop or spa that wants a client marketplace, deposits and no-show fees, messaging and integrated payments; SageBizet is the better choice for a service business that wants booking, POS, stock, cash drawer, expenses and customer tabs free during early access, without per-team-member fees.
- [SageBizet vs spreadsheets and notebooks](https://sagebizet.com/compare/spreadsheet-inventory-alternative): A spreadsheet or notebook is the better choice while a business is small enough to update records by hand and needs layouts no software offers; SageBizet is the better choice once sales, stock, cash and customer credit need to update themselves as each sale is made.

## Guides
- [How to choose a POS system for a small business](https://sagebizet.com/guides/how-to-choose-a-pos-system): To choose a POS system, write down how your business actually sells, test each candidate against those must-haves during a real shift, and compare the total three-year cost including hardware, add-ons and payment fees.
- [How to track inventory for a small business](https://sagebizet.com/guides/how-to-track-inventory): To track inventory, give every item a record with a unit and cost, log each stock movement with a reason, count regularly to catch differences, and reorder when stock falls to daily usage × lead time + safety stock.
- [How to reconcile a cash drawer at the end of the day](https://sagebizet.com/guides/how-to-reconcile-a-cash-drawer): To reconcile a cash drawer, calculate expected cash (opening float + cash sales − cash refunds − paid-outs + pay-ins), count the drawer by denomination, record the difference as over or short, and investigate any pattern.
- [How to calculate profit margin (and price for it)](https://sagebizet.com/guides/how-to-calculate-profit-margin): Profit margin is profit divided by revenue, so an item that costs $4 and sells for $10 has a 60% gross margin; to price for a target margin, divide cost by (1 − target margin).
- [How to reduce appointment no-shows](https://sagebizet.com/guides/how-to-reduce-appointment-no-shows): To reduce appointment no-shows, measure your no-show rate, collect a contact number at booking, remind clients before the appointment, make cancelling easy, publish a clear policy with a grace period, and fill freed slots from a waitlist or walk-ins.
- [How to manage customer credit and tabs safely](https://sagebizet.com/guides/how-to-manage-customer-credit): To manage customer credit safely, offer tabs only to customers you know, set a written limit and settle-by date, record every charge and payment immediately, review balances by age each week, and stop new charges when a limit or due date is passed.
- [How to start selling online as a local shop or café](https://sagebizet.com/guides/how-to-start-selling-online): To start selling online as a local shop or café, list a focused range of items that travel well with accurate stock, offer pickup first, add delivery only within a radius where the fee covers the cost, and handle orders on a fixed routine.
- [What to track in a daily sales report](https://sagebizet.com/guides/what-to-track-in-a-daily-sales-report): A daily sales report should show net sales, number of orders, average order value, payment mix, discounts and voids, cash expected versus counted, top items and sales by hour, compared with the same weekday in previous weeks.

## Free calculators
- [Profit margin calculator](https://sagebizet.com/tools/profit-margin-calculator): Profit margin is profit divided by the selling price; this calculator works it out from cost and price, or works backwards from the margin you want to the price you should charge.
- [Markup calculator](https://sagebizet.com/tools/markup-calculator): Markup is profit divided by cost; this calculator turns a cost and a markup into a selling price and shows the margin that price actually delivers.
- [Break-even calculator](https://sagebizet.com/tools/break-even-calculator): The break-even point is the number of sales at which revenue covers both fixed and variable costs; this calculator gives it per month and per trading day.
- [Reorder point calculator](https://sagebizet.com/tools/reorder-point-calculator): The reorder point is the stock level at which you place a new order so it arrives before you run out: average daily usage × lead time + safety stock.

## Glossary
- [Cost of goods sold (COGS)](https://sagebizet.com/glossary/cost-of-goods-sold): Cost of goods sold (COGS) is the direct cost of the items a business actually sold in a period — the purchase price of stock it resold, or the ingredients, materials and direct labour that went into what it made — excluding overheads such as rent, utilities and marketing.
- [Gross profit margin](https://sagebizet.com/glossary/gross-profit-margin): Gross profit margin is the percentage of revenue left after subtracting the cost of goods sold, calculated as (revenue − COGS) ÷ revenue × 100.
- [Markup](https://sagebizet.com/glossary/markup): Markup is the amount added to an item’s cost to arrive at its selling price, usually expressed as a percentage of that cost: (price − cost) ÷ cost × 100.
- [Reorder point (ROP)](https://sagebizet.com/glossary/reorder-point): The reorder point is the stock level at which a new order should be placed so that it arrives before the item runs out, calculated as average daily usage × supplier lead time in days + safety stock.
- [Safety stock](https://sagebizet.com/glossary/safety-stock): Safety stock is the extra inventory held above the amount expected to sell during a supplier’s lead time, to cover demand that runs higher than usual or deliveries that arrive late.
- [Inventory shrinkage](https://sagebizet.com/glossary/inventory-shrinkage): Inventory shrinkage is the stock a business’s records say it has but that is no longer there — lost to theft, damage, spoilage, waste or recording errors — measured as recorded inventory minus physically counted inventory.
- [Dead stock](https://sagebizet.com/glossary/dead-stock): Dead stock is inventory that has not sold for a long period and is unlikely to sell at its normal price, tying up cash and shelf space that could be earning money elsewhere.
- [Sell-through rate](https://sagebizet.com/glossary/sell-through-rate): Sell-through rate is the percentage of the stock received in a period that was sold within that period, calculated as units sold ÷ units received × 100.
- [Cash float](https://sagebizet.com/glossary/cash-float): A cash float is a fixed amount of cash in small notes and coins placed in the till at the start of a shift so the cashier can give change, which is counted out again before the shift’s cash takings are worked out.
- [Z-report](https://sagebizet.com/glossary/z-report): A Z-report is the end-of-day summary a cash register or point-of-sale system produces when the trading day is closed — sales totals, payment-method totals, refunds, voids, discounts and taxes — after which the running totals reset to zero for the next day.
- [Average order value (AOV)](https://sagebizet.com/glossary/average-order-value): Average order value (AOV) is the average amount customers spend per transaction over a period, calculated as total revenue ÷ number of orders.
- [No-show rate](https://sagebizet.com/glossary/no-show-rate): No-show rate is the percentage of booked appointments or reservations in a period for which the customer neither arrived nor cancelled in time, calculated as no-shows ÷ total bookings × 100.

- No SMS or email booking reminders and no calendar sync.

- Variants, stock by location and transfers are part of the retail module (Retail and Supermarket businesses); recipes are part of the café module. Suppliers and purchase orders come with both.
- Not medical-records (EHR) software.
- Not a native app-store app; it is a web app that can be installed from the browser.
