Customizing POS systems for farmers and farmstand tips with Lindsey Lusher Shute of Farm Generations Cooperative and GrownBy
About this episode
Lindsey Lusher Shute discusses customizing POS systems for farmers and shares insights from her beta testing experience.
Most point of sale (POS) systems were designed for businesses like restaurants and retail, and aren’t perfect fits for farm businesses. In this episode, Lindsey Lusher Shute tells us how she has been working on customizing POS systems for farmers, and how she has been beta testing the system in her own farm’s store. Innovations include being fully customizable to support a range of farms, being able to process SNAP/EBT, customer and sales tracking, and integration with scanner, printer and cash register.
