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 Kenya pays, and how you record it

BelloPOS does not process payments and is not connected to M-Pesa, banks or card machines. The customer pays the way they always do, and you pick the payment method on the sale in BelloPOS, so every sale shows how it was paid. You can add your own payment methods to match how your shop gets paid.

Cash in shillings, with change shown on screen and a cash drawer
M-Pesa Buy Goods (Till number), added as its own payment method
M-Pesa Paybill, added as another payment method if you use one
Airtel Money and bank app transfers
Debit and credit cards (Visa, Mastercard) on your own PDQ machine
Any other method you take, added by you in a few clicks
Credit for regulars, settled at month-end or on payday (Go plan)
Accounts settled later by bank transfer for hotels, schools and offices (Go plan)

Because BelloPOS does not read your M-Pesa statement, check the day's M-Pesa sales against your Till or Paybill statement at closing. A gap usually means a payment was recorded under the wrong method.

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.
