The document discusses the importance of point of sale (POS) systems for businesses and describes the development of a POS system for a tea shop called Chado. Key points: 1) Every retail store needs a cash management system like a cash register or POS system to process sales transactions. POS systems can save stores money, quickly process customers, and keep accurate records. 2) The developers will create a POS system for Chado tea shop using the system development life cycle (SDLC), which includes planning, analysis, design, implementation, and maintenance phases. 3) The developers interviewed the owner of Chado to gather requirements and will review collected data to design a system that eases the store's cash management

1. 1.0 Introduction
The one item in a retail store a business owner can't do without is the cash
management system. Whether it's the traditional, electronic cash register or an
elaborate computerized point of sale (POS) system, every store needs a machine to
process sales. When the doors are open and the lights are on, the cash register
becomes more than a safe place to store money. It has the ability to save money,
quickly process a customer's transaction and accurately keep records. Point of sale
(POS) or checkout is the place where a retail transaction is completed. It is the point at
which a customer makes a payment to the merchant in exchange for goods or services
and the retailer would calculate the amount owed by the customer and provide options
for the customer to make payment. The merchant will also normally issue a receipt for
the transaction. The term POS is applicable to a retail shop or store, the
checkout/cashier counter in the store, or a location where such transactions can occur
in this type of environment. It can also apply to the actual Point of Sale (POS) Hardware
& Software including but not limited to: electronic cash register systems, touch-screen
display, barcode scanners, receipt printers, scales and pole displays. Retailers may
utilize weighing scales, scanners, electronic and manual cash registers, terminals, touch
screens and any other wide variety of hardware and software available for use with
POS. Point of Sale Systems are utilized in many different industries, ranging from
restaurants, hotels & hospitality businesses, and let's not forget - the retail
environments. In the most basic sense, if something can be exchanged for monetary
value - a Point of Sale System can be used.
1.1Background of the Study
Point of sale system that links the cashier and customer to an entire network of
information, handling transactions between the customer and store and maintaining
updates or pricing and promotions. Point of sale system has the ability to analyze
costumer transactions and balance. The Chado the tea room originally established in
the early 70’s as family business, reorganized in 2004 as Tanso Food Products, and
expanded last quarter of 2010 to TS FIESTA SEAFOOD SNAKS AND CORP., the
company entered the market of snack foods and healthy herb and tea drinks a highly

2. competitive industry in the Philippines. Their mission is to provide unparallel and
unequalled quality food products and healthy beverages focused on improving the taste
standards of the Philippine consumers. But the company in the University Mall Branch
does not have an electronic cash Register or POS so the Proponents proposed a
system to the company to burden their cash management system is boost their
marketing. The system designed for two users, the owner and the employees that has
all access in the system and he/she can add or add or remove any stocks for the
business and he/ she also can change the security feature of the system. The
employees are limited to access the system they cannot change security feature of the
system. But the system intended only for chado the tea room Points of Sale System.
1.2 Statement of Objectives
1.2.1 General Objectives
To create an electronic cash register or a computerized point of sale (POS) that will
lessen the burden of the merchant and improve over-all business performance and, at
the same time, cope with technological trends.
To Improve the Customer Service and boost Marketing of Chado the tea
room.
To maintain more Customer and improve the efficiency of the employees
in the Chado the tea room.
To reduce cost and control the flow of the money and the sales and
specials are easy to manage in the Chado the tea room.
To be able the customer to purchase immediately and Purchase orders
are produced automatically with enough lead time to receive goods in the
Chado the tea room.
1.3 Significance of the Study

3. The importances of this are the following:
For the Owner of the Store – It can make their work easier to this system.
Fewer jobs to the cashier.
For the Costumer- They will save time if they buy some product on the shoe
store.
For the Developers – This study helps to enhance the knowledge of the
developers in programming.
For the next developers – They can use this as their reference and as a guide
so their work will not be hard.
2.0 Methodology of the Study
In this section, it will discuss the techniques that will be applied by the developers in
order the POS system for the Chado the tea room. The developers will use the System
Development Life Cycle (SDLC). The SDLC has 5 processes:

4. Methodology of the Study
Planning phase- The First Phase of SDLC in which Establishes a high- Level view
of the intended project and determines its goals. The proponents assigned each
member to do his/her task for the part of documentation.
Analysis- The Second Phase of SDLC in which refines project goals into defined
functions and operation of the intended application. Analyzes end user information
needs. The proponents gathered by interviewing the Companies owner.
Design- The third Phase of SDLC in which describes desired features and
operations in detail, including screen layouts, business rules, process diagrams,
pseudo codes and other documentation. In this phase the proponents will apply the
desire design for the system well by the client.
Implementation- the fourth of SDLC the real code is written here, in which the
Information is coded tested, installed and supported. In this stage, the proponents
will installed the finish program take time to make sure that the system will have
lesser risk of failure.
Maintenance- the Final Phase in which an information system is systematically
repaired and improved. In this phase the proponents will make sure that the system
will surely upgrade and will run preparedly.
3.0 Data Gathering Procedures and Output
The developers will be interview the owner of Chado the tea Room at
University Mall Vito Cruz Taft Avenue Manila.
After interview, the developers will review all the data they have gathered.
In this process researching will be a big help in gathering relevant materials to
create Point Of Sales System on the said store. The developers also borrowed

5. books from the STI-College Taft’s Library to gather some information about the
system. The developers use the books also as references for our documentation.
