In the fast-paced world of service, speed and operational simplicity aren’t just “nice-to-haves” - they’re the difference between a return customer and a lost one.

That’s where Yoco Counter comes in. This all-in-one point of sale (POS) system combines elegant hardware, intuitive software and seamlessly integrated payments to help small businesses sell smarter and serve better.

Whether you're running a coffee shop, a hair salon or a boutique, Yoco Counter was built to simplify your day, boost your team’s performance and help you move through your peak hours with confidence.

1. All-in-one setup that’s ready to roll

What you get:

  • A 12” HD touchscreen tablet on a weighted stand.

  • Yoco POS software pre-installed and free.

  • The Neo Touch card machine.

  • Wi-Fi + SIM card connectivity.

Imagine you're opening your doors at 7am sharp. Your first customer wants a cappuccino and banana bread - no problem.

With everything in one place, your barista taps in the order, accepts a card payment and moves to the next customer in seconds. No switching devices. No slow load times. Just smooth service. And as the 15th banana bread sells, you get an automated stock alert - along with perhaps a suggestion to open a little later tomorrow morning.

“We’re making less errors - we no longer put in the wrong prices or forget to ring things up. It’s really easy to use.”

2. Smart product catalogue built around how you sell

A product catalogue is your digital list of everything you sell. With Yoco, you can organise your products in a way that makes sense for your business.

What it does:

  • Add your own custom brands, variants and attributes (think cup sizes for coffee shops, or clothing sizes for boutiques).

  • Organise everything into categories to match your flow of service.

  • Seamlessly sync your catalogue across Yoco devices in real time from one Yoco account.

What it does for you:

  • Speeds up selling and reduces manual errors just tap to add instead of manually totaling bills.

  • Gives you detailed reporting on what’s selling (and what’s not), so you can make faster, smarter decisions.

  • Automatically triggers low stock alerts as items sell.

Picture a busy Saturday at your boutique. A customer brings a dress to the counter and asks if it’s available in another size or colour. Your team quickly checks the product variants already set up in your catalogue, adds a sales note to hold the item, and saves the order until the customer is ready to pay. No need to walk around looking for stock, restart the sale or hold up the queue.

And with every sale tracked and recorded automatically, your team spends less time on admin and more time serving - without losing sight of the details.

Bonus: Digital receipts mean no paper jams or digging for pens - just a tap and send via SMS.

3. Manage your staff without micromanaging

What it offers:

  • Staff PINs for access control.

  • Track individual performance.

Let’s say you’re a bakery with a rotating team of cashiers and counter staff. With staff logins, you can track who processed which sales and see how long each transaction took.

If someone’s consistently ringing up orders faster, you can learn from them. If someone’s struggling, you know where to coach.

4. Integrated payments that keep tables turning

What it handles:

  • Card, cash, QR, tap to pay.

  • Tip prompts on screen.

A table of five just finished lunch, and they all want to split the bill. Two want to pay with a card, one with a QR code, one in cash and the last is still deciding. No stress. Yoco Counter can handle it all from one screen.

“It’s faster than the [Yoco] POS App on our iPad. We really like the weight and the design.”

It even prompts for tips with easy-to-follow options, meaning your staff don’t need to awkwardly ask. This makes checking out quicker and friction-free. Your team earns more and your queue doesn’t build up at the door.

5. Real-time reporting that works while you sleep

What it shows:

  • Bestsellers, peak hours and staff activity.

  • Low stock alerts.

It’s Sunday night, and you’re relaxing on your couch when you check your dashboard. You see that the deep conditioning hair treatment was your most popular service all weekend, and your supply of shampoo is running low. With this insight, you can order stock early and plan your team’s schedule effectively for the week ahead - no last-minute scrambling on Monday morning.

“It is so easy to use. It looks professional and makes my prices and business more credible.”
