We want to have less effort with the cash register. Currently we use a pay-direct system. People generally pay for a single item with a 5 or 10 euro note which quickly leads to the amount of change being low.

The general idea is to create a system where you can have an account and prepay for your stuff. Then use a barcode/touchscreen system to withdraw the prices from the account. This way we can reduce the need for the large amounts of change.

Also it would be nice to have less effort with counting the cash register and stock, which currently takes approx. 15 min per day.

As of current there are 2 systems being developed. The first is in bash-shell , the second is in LOLcode. We have got a dedicated OpenBSD machine with a barcode scanner and (future) a touchscreen to make it as easy as pie to use this system.
