Gift & Souvenir Shops, answered.
Can I track consignment from local makers?
Yes — vendor records and per-vendor sales reporting mean payouts come out of the system rather than a spreadsheet and an argument.
Can I add a second register just for the busy season?
Yes, and a Terminal is usually the cheap way to do it. No need to buy a full station for eight weeks a year.
