Point-of-sale & receipt solutions for Adelaide businesses
Your POS system is the engine room of your daily trade. When it works well, you don't think about it. When it doesn't, everything slows down. We help Adelaide retailers, cafes, restaurants and service businesses choose the right POS setup, get it installed properly, and keep it running, including receipt printers, terminals, and the back-end that ties it all together.

The short answer
Adelaide cafes, restaurants, retailers and service businesses can get help choosing a point of sale system from WaTo Consulting, which then installs terminals and receipt printers, loads products or menus and links sales to Xero or MYOB. Staff are shown how to use it, and support continues when something goes wrong during trade.
What are POS & receipt solutions?
A point-of-sale system handles your transactions: taking payments, printing receipts, tracking sales and managing stock. Modern POS setups do a lot more than an old cash register: they connect to your accounting software, manage customer loyalty, split bills, handle multiple payment types, and give you real-time sales data. Receipt solutions cover everything from thermal printers to digital receipts and integration with your existing workflows.
What we cover
System selection
We help you choose a POS platform that fits your business (retail, hospitality or services) without overpaying for features you won't use.
Hardware setup
Terminals, tablets, receipt printers, barcode scanners and cash drawers sourced, configured and installed at your counter.
Software configuration
Menu or product setup, tax rates, payment types, staff logins and reporting, all configured before you open the doors.
Accounting & stock integration
We connect your POS to Xero, MYOB or your inventory system so data flows automatically.
Receipt customisation
Branded receipts, digital receipt options, and setup for kitchen or bar printers in hospitality venues.
Ongoing support
When something goes wrong mid-service, you need someone who picks up the phone. That's us.

How it works

- Adelaide owned since 2001, supporting businesses from the CBD to the suburbs.
POS & receipt questions
Which POS system do you recommend?
It depends on your business. For hospitality, platforms like Mr Yum, OrderMate and SwiftPOS are popular in Adelaide. For retail, Lightspeed or POSApt are solid options. We'll recommend based on your specific needs.
Can you set up our POS to talk to Xero?
Yes. Most modern POS platforms integrate with Xero and MYOB. We'll set up the connection so your sales data flows through automatically.
What if our POS goes down during a busy service?
Call us. We understand that a POS outage during trade is urgent and we prioritise getting you back up and running.
Can you move our data from our old system?
In most cases, yes. We can migrate product lists, customer data and historical sales where the old system allows it.
