BelloPOS for your trade

Free POS software for butcher shops

Beef, lamb and poultry sold by the kilo, with stock and supplier costs that finally add up.

Free download for Windows · checking the latest release… · works offline

A butcher sells by weight, cut by cut, and a till that only understands whole units gets in the way at every sale. In BelloPOS a product can be priced per kilo and sold in any quantity, so 1.35 kg of minced beef rings up exactly, and the receipt prints with the weight on the line. It all runs on your shop's Windows PC or Mac, with no internet needed.

Pick "Butcher shop" when you set BelloPOS up and the demo database opens on beef, lamb, poultry, cold cuts and ready-to-cook products, in your language and currency. Record each delivery from your supplier and the app tracks what the meat cost you, so the margin on every kilo is visible.

What you get

Sold by the kilo

Enter the weight on the keypad and the price follows. Whole pieces and fixed packs still sell per unit on the same ticket.

Supplier deliveries

Record each delivery with its cost and it goes straight into stock, so you always know what you paid for what is in the cold room.

Margin per cut

Reports compare selling price and cost for every product, showing which cuts earn and which only move volume.

Customer accounts

Keep regulars and restaurants on account, see what each one owes, and settle the balance when they pay.

How customers pay in the UK, and how BelloPOS records it

Cards now make up the large majority of UK payments, with debit cards alone accounting for more than half and cash down to around one payment in twelve, according to UK Finance. Your till has to record every one of these correctly.

Contactless debit and credit cards, the everyday way to pay on the high street
Chip and PIN for larger amounts or when contactless is declined
Apple Pay, Google Pay and other mobile wallets, taken on the same card machine
Cash, with a float, cash in and out, and a counted drawer at close
Bank transfer and Faster Payments, common for trade and account customers
Customer credit (on account) for regulars who settle at the end of the week or month, with BelloPOS Go
Gift vouchers or other methods you add yourself as payment types

BelloPOS does not take card payments itself and is not connected to a card machine. You keep your own terminal from your bank or payment provider, take the payment there, and select the payment method in BelloPOS so your reports split cash and card correctly.

Questions merchants ask

Can I enter decimal weights?

Yes. Quantities accept decimals, so 0.75 kg or 2.4 kg are charged exactly at the price per kilo.

Is there a demo with butcher products?

Yes. Choose "Try with demo data" then "Butcher shop" at setup to get beef, lamb, poultry and cold cuts ready to sell.

Does it work without internet?

Completely. All data is stored on the shop's PC; the internet can be down all day without stopping a sale.
