Bookshop POS · Lebanon Ten thousand titles, and a customer wants one of them now.

A bookshop’s problem is never the sale, it’s the catalogue: thousands of slow-moving titles, plus a stationery rush every September. Table handles the size of it.

The problem

Where a bookshop’s catalogue gets away.

Typing the catalogue in would take a month

Thousands of titles, each with an ISBN and a price. Entering them one at a time is why most shops never start.

Most stock barely moves

A handful of titles pay the rent, and the rest sit for years. Without knowing which is which, you keep reordering the wrong ones.

September is a different shop

The school-list rush is a month of high volume, big multi-item baskets and accounts for schools and parents — nothing like the rest of the year.

Built for this

What Table does with ten thousand titles.

01

Import the whole catalogue

Bring the entire list in from CSV or XML. The import previews before it writes, matches on code or barcode, and blocks duplicates in the file.

02

Scan the ISBN

The barcode on the back is the product code. Scan to sell, scan to receive, scan to check a price.

03

Dead stock, named

The Dead stock report lists what hasn’t sold, so the reorder follows what moves, not what you remember ordering.

04

School and parent accounts

Put a list on an account, take payment later, and see every open balance and how old it is.

05

Stationery by barcode and pack

Pens, notebooks and packs of ten all handled, with stock counted in single pieces however you sell them.

USD + LBP

Dollars and lira on one bill.

Price in dollars, take lira for the school list, give change in either.

Every sale stores the rate it used and is kept in dollars, so past dollar totals don’t move with the lira. Lira shown to the customer is rounded to the 5,000 note.

A $ bill. They hand you $ and ل.ل.

For example, give $3 — the till fills in 10,000 ل.ل

or 280,000 ل.ل all in lira

The cashier picks how many dollars to give back; the till works out the lira.

Lira price 5,100,000 ل.ل

Example rate: 89,500 ل.ل per $1. Your till uses the day's rate from lirarate.org or one you set. How dual currency works

Questions

What bookshop owners ask.

Thousands of slow-moving titles — is that a problem?

No. Import the catalogue, then find titles by barcode or search. The reports show what’s moving, so the September rush isn’t the only thing you can plan around.

Can it run in Arabic, English and French?

Arabic and English on the till, chosen per device and per cashier. The online store and the customer QR menu also come in French.

Stationery and books together?

Yes. Barcoded stock and small items live in the same catalogue with their own categories, so the September stationery rush doesn’t distort your book numbers.

Can I order in a title for a customer?

Yes. Take a payment on the customer’s account; anything paid ahead of the sale is kept as store credit, waiting for them when the book arrives.
