Ready to move beyond the cash box? This hands-on workshop will walk you through the full process of selecting, setting up, and deploying a point of sale (POS) system tailored to your farm stand. We’ll cover how to choose the right platform for your operation, understand essential hardware like card readers, tablets, and cash drawers, and configure your system for either employee-operated checkout or customer self-service models.

Participants will also learn best practices for entering and organizing products, including how to accurately sell items by the pound or by the piece, create clear categories, and streamline checkout for efficiency and strong recordkeeping. Thoughtful setup not only improves the customer experience but also unlocks powerful sales and inventory insights to support better business decisions.

Join us to get your system set up right—from the moment you open the box to your first successful sale.  Also learn about the efforts of the Cornell Farmers' Market Research Project and how this program can benefit your farm business!
