The House System · Retail
The House System. A Register That Remembers.
Built for the established independent store whose operation is scattered. Inventory in the POS. Customer history in the processor's cloud. Layaway in a binder under the counter. Special orders in somebody's memory. We call it the House System because it thinks in households, not transactions. One system. You own it outright. Nothing switches until it matches your old register to the penny.

What Is the House System?
The House System is a point of sale that is your property. The code, the database, the customer history. Not a subscription you rent by the terminal. We built one retail core and fit it to your store instead of making your store fit it. No per-terminal fees. No vendor holding your customer list.
What Every Retail Fitting Includes
The Build Sheet
Every install · no add-on menu
The Register
Rings sales, returns, and exchanges on one screen. Every ticket lands in a permanent journal your accountant can check.
Inventory That Matches the Floor
What the system says you have is what is on the shelf. Receive it, count it, sell it. One number, not three.
A Customer Book With a Memory
Customers and households, with every purchase attached, back as far as your records go.
Layaway & Special Orders
Layaway, deposits, and special orders tracked in the system, not a binder.
Ask the House
Ask in plain English. Who bought this brand last year. What is not moving. Who has not been in since spring. It answers from your own history.
You Own It
The code, the data, the customer book. Yours.
How a Retail Fitting Works
The Fitting
We stand at your counter and map how the store really runs. That becomes the blueprint.
Your Records Come With You
Every customer, ticket, and year of history we can pull gets migrated in.
Proven Beside Your Old Register
Your current POS keeps running. The new one runs beside it, and every night the two sets of books go side by side until the difference is zero.
You Say Go, We Stay On
Nothing switches until the numbers match and you give the word. After that, nightly backups, support you can call, and new features as the store grows.
Who This Is For
Independent retail stores paying per-terminal POS fees
Stores whose customer history is trapped in a processor's cloud
Multi-generation stores with decades of records worth keeping
Shops running layaway and special orders out of a binder

Forks of the Code
We built the House System core once and fitted it store by store: a luxury menswear shop, an appliance and furniture store in business since 1946, among others. One core, many fits, zero forks of the code. Staging registers are in evaluation now. No store switches until the side-by-side numbers earn it.
Where Retail POS Usually Goes Wrong
Renting by the terminal
Cloud POS pricing grows with your counter. More terminals, more rent, forever. You never own a thing.
Your customer book, held hostage
When your history lives in the processor's cloud, leaving means starting over. Decades of who-bought-what becomes their asset instead of yours.
Generic POS, paper workarounds
Most systems were not built for layaway, households, or special orders, so those live in a binder, off the books.
What It Costs
Our whole bill, printed right here: $3,000 a month, setup included. No per-terminal fees, no processor lock-in. Month-to-month, and the system stays yours. One job: Simplify your life. Make your business more profitable. Stores renting Square- or Lightspeed-class systems pay forever and own nothing. This is the opposite trade.

House System FAQ
Why is it called the House System?
Because it thinks in households, not transactions. The family that has furnished three homes with you is one relationship, not four hundred receipts. The whole house lives under one roof, and Ask the House, the AI, answers questions about your own store in plain English.
Is the House System an alternative to Square, Clover, or Lightspeed?
Yes, for stores that want to own their system instead of renting it. Square, Clover, and Lightspeed are capable products, but you pay every month and your customer history lives in their cloud. The House System is fitted to your store, loaded with your records, and owned by you outright.
What happens to my customer history?
It comes with you, every customer, household, and ticket we can pull, as part of setup. One Louisiana store, in business since 1946, can pull up who bought a washer in 2018 on its staging register.
Do you charge per terminal or per register?
No. The published price covers the store. Add a terminal and the price does not move. No per-terminal or per-register fees, ever.
