## What is Cash Register Event Simulator?

Cash Register Event Simulator (by Goalino) for bake sales, school fairs, and volunteer stands:
tap what was sold, see the total, practice exact change — without the clipboard chaos.

IMPORTANT — please read:
• This app is NOT a certified fiscal cash register or point-of-sale system for tax compliance.
• It is a simulation and training aid — not a substitute for required books, receipts, or filings.
• Receipts and tickets in the app are NOT official tax documents.
• You alone are responsible for local tax and recordkeeping rules (ask your accountant if unsure).
• Using this app as a live electronic till for tax-relevant sales is not its purpose and is at your own risk.

### 2/5 — The idea is great but it’s not there yet

*2026-07-23*

I just paid to get the pro access to customize and everything is still preset. I can’t personally customize items. I have to change from the given options. Also the QR codes generated do not work to share. Big negative. 
Idea 10/10 function 3/10. I need to be able to personally customize food options and share for other cashiers to use.

**Developer response:** Hello Madramma,

thank you for taking the time to write this — and I’m sorry the Pro experience didn’t match what you expected. The idea of fully custom food options and sharing with other cashiers is exactly what we want to support well.

Could you please email us at support@goalino.app? That way we can look into your case in detail (especially the QR sharing). We haven’t seen this in our test group, and we want to fix anything that’s broken as quickly as possible.

In the meantime, here’s how to create your own items (Pro):

Open your event → Articles
Tap Add new article
Then either:
Create your own article under General — for a fully custom item, or
Select an event template, then Create your own article — to add a custom item in that event context (also useful as a preset-style starting point)
You can also switch regions in the picker to see more region-specific article ideas in our presets.
About the QR code: other cashiers need the app installed, and the code must be scanned inside Goalino (Scan QR), not only with the iPhone Camera app. If that still fails after both devices have the app, please tell us in your email what you tried (share as image vs. scan on screen, etc.) — we’ll dig in right away.

Thanks again for the honest feedback — it helps us improve.

Best regards,
Dennis
Goalino

• "Browse all articles" when creating an event — discover the full catalog (Pro)
• Your article region is auto-detected and adjustable in settings

CHECKOUT & REGISTER
• Two-stage checkout: review the order first, then open a dedicated payment sheet
• Quick amount buttons — "Exact" plus common bills (e.g. 10 / 20 / 50) for faster checkout
• Fixed keypad that no longer shifts when change suggestions appear
• Smarter change suggestions even when the exact coin mix can't be shown
• Number keypad in the quantity dialog
• Clearer deposit exchange badges; voucher summary at the top of the order
• iPad: denser article grids and improved checkout layout in landscape

LANGUAGES & MARKETS
• Full app UI now in Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, Norwegian, Spanish, and Swedish — in addition to English and German
• Mexico: Spanish UI, Mexican Peso, and regional festival articles

OTHER
• Long article names hyphenate cleanly in article management
• Delete events and change the register layout without a password — reports and article editing remain protected when checkout protection is on

Version 1.1 — Vouchers for festival service

NEW: VOUCHERS — SEE AT A GLANCE WHAT GOES OUT
Create vouchers like "Drinks", "Food", or "Coffee" and assign them to your articles — independent of categories. In the register, each order line shows a colored voucher badge so staff instantly knows which vouchers need to be handed out.

The order overview automatically aggregates vouchers, e.g. "4× Drinks · 2× Food". In reports you'll find counts per voucher — ideal for settlement and post-event checks.

Based on intensive real-world testing, we've significantly improved vouchers and the register UI:
• Voucher badges are now readable even with light colors (e.g. yellow for coffee or beer) — even in sunlight
• Total and reference side by side — more room for the order and voucher overview
• Reference history can be disabled when you need more space

DEPOSITS & CHECKOUT
• 1:1 deposit exchange: mark empty-for-full glass swaps directly in the order
• Deposit items (Pro): one deposit container for multiple articles, e.g. "wheat beer glass"
• Given amount is preserved when you save and reopen orders
• New "given amount optional" mode — empty field means exact payment

OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
• Navigation hub: back from articles and reports returns to the overview
• Image composition (Pro): two images per tile, e.g. steak + fries
• More stock images and improved image matching
• Settings reorganized, new tutorials for register and layout
• Singapore Dollar and Philippine Peso
