Industry Specific Notes: Grocery

Grocery stores are basically retail stores with a few special requirements, so L'ânePOS is stable in those environments.

Price Tables: Price tables allow a store to sell the same class of items at different prices, depending on the number sold. They allow 3/$1 pricing (0.34, 0.33, 0.33). The plugins page includes plugins for price tables.
Food Stamps/WIC: Food Stamps and WIC are different for every location. Contact a local authority on the subject before using any of these methods in a production environment. The plugins page includes plugins for marking items as Food Stamp-able and WIC-able, as well as tendering Food Stamps and WIC.
Limitation-Scales: Although an interface for selling items based on weight doesn't exist, it should be easy to write one. If someone loans me scales with a common interface (like RS232), I'll write an interface for them (jburrell). L'anePOS 2002-02-18 now supports fractional prices and quantities.
