Easy to Use

The LIONWISE system provides an intuitive, easy to use interface for both management and the staff, allowing for key administrative functions such as pricing, promotions and other pricing changes to be performed at any POS workstation.  Navigation is quick and easy allowing the user to get where they need to be in two touches.  Staff can easily handle discounts, item look-ups, voids and returns. The ability within the LIONWISE system to quickly and easily correct misapplied payments, hold orders and handle employee time card adjustments help keep your business running smoothly.  As new staff members come on board, a real-time training mode allows for hands-on training in a simulated environment without affecting the live business reporting.
