What daily tools do co-op cashiers and staff need at the counter and in the aisle?
In closed testing, Parmenas gives cashiers and floor staff a keyboard-friendly counter screen to look up any member household quickly, confirm active working-member discounts and house-account balances, accept share installments, log local farm deliveries, and print clean shelf tags and bulk-bin signs.
How each role uses Store Tools
01 · Staff & Cashier
Quick lookup, shelf tags & receiving
Find any household by member number, last name, or phone digits right at the counter.
See active member standing, earned volunteer discounts, and due equity installments on one screen.
Print shelf tags and bulk-bin labels showing farm origin, unit price, and member price.
02 · Volunteers
Check in & stock aisles smoothly
Check in for shifts on the counter tablet and print updated bulk-bin signs during stocking shifts.
03 · Members
Smooth checkout without carrying a card
Any authorized shopper in the household can give their name or member number at the counter and receive their earned benefits.
04 · Treasurer
Clean shift close-outs
Every counter share payment, house-account top-up, and patronage credit redemption flows directly into the daily close-out summary.
Example · Friday Evening at the Counter
Checking a working-member discount and recording a share payment at checkout
Five neighbours are in line with full baskets on Friday evening. David steps up to the counter and mentions he worked the Thursday bulk-stocking shift and also wants to pay his final $25 share installment.
The cashier types 214 (David's member number). Parmenas displays his active 10% working-member discount from Thursday's shift and a button to record his final $25 equity payment, completing his $100 share and keeping the line moving warmly.
