Test what happens on a difficult day
Prepare a normal sale, a returned item, a delayed payment, a price change and a closing discrepancy. A useful demo shows how staff resolve each event and how the owner reviews it later.
Your working checklist
- Use actual product labels and the proposed printer or scanner.
- Test each staff role rather than only the administrator.
- Check backups, support contacts and restore responsibilities.
- Ask for a written scope, total cost and acceptance criteria.
Put it into practice
Record the outcome of every test as demonstrated, requires configuration or not available. Keep unresolved requirements out of the assumed scope. Select the system that fits the workflow you need now and has a credible path for your next stage.
