Your simple guide to running the shop with LPOS

Open the app and sign in

The very first time, LPOS gives you an owner account so you can get started right away.

1. Tap the LPOS icon on your tablet to open it.
2. On the sign-in screen, type the username admin and the PIN 1234.
3. Tap Sign In. That's it — you're in.

Set your own secret PIN

The starting PIN (1234) is easy to guess, so change it to your own private numbers. Think of it like the PIN on your ATM card.

1. Tap More (bottom-right corner).
2. Tap Change PIN.
3. Type the old PIN (1234), then your new 4–6 digit PIN twice. Tap the little eye icon if you want to see what you typed.
4. Tap Update PIN.

💡 Pick numbers you'll remember but others can't guess. Avoid 1234 or your birthday.

Add your shop's name

Your shop name appears on the sign-in screen and prints on every customer receipt, so it looks professional.

1. Tap More, then Administration, then Business Info.
2. Type your shop name — for example, Fresh & Clean Laundry.
3. Add your address and phone number if you'd like them on receipts.
4. You can change the little thank-you message that prints at the bottom of receipts.
5. Tap Save.

Set your services and prices

Tell LPOS what you offer and what you charge. It comes with common laundry services already filled in — you just adjust the prices to match your shop.

1. Tap More → Administration → Categories & Pricing.
2. You'll see services like Regular Clothes and Bedding / Linens already there.
3. To change a price, tap the pencil icon next to a service, type your price, and choose how you charge for it:
   • Per kilo — you weigh the clothes (for example ₱70 per kg).
   • Per load — a flat price for one washer or dryer load.
   • Per pack / per piece — a fixed price for each item, like a comforter.
4. Tap Save. To add a brand-new service, tap the + Add Category button.

💡 Not sure? Just set the two or three services you use most. You can always add more later.

Add your helpers (staff)

Give each person who works the counter their own login. That way the app can show who took in and handed back each order — handy for keeping track of the day.

1. Tap More → Administration → Manage Staff.
2. Tap the + button to add a person.
3. Type their name, a username, and a PIN for them.
4. Choose their role:
   • Staff — can take orders and hand out laundry. Best for most helpers.
   • Admin — can also change prices, see reports, and manage supplies. This is the owner/manager role.
5. Tap Create.

To switch to a different person during the day, tap the name in the top-right corner and enter that person's PIN.

Take a customer's laundry

This is the main thing you'll do all day. When a customer drops off laundry, you make an order for them.

1. Tap the Receive tab.
2. Type the customer's name. If they've been in before, LPOS remembers them — just start typing and tap their name.
3. Choose the service (like Regular Clothes), enter the weight or count, and tap Add. Repeat if they have more than one kind of item.
4. Add a delivery fee or a discount if needed. The total updates by itself as you go.
5. Under Payment, choose Pay Now or Pay Later, and how they're paying (Cash, GCash, or Bank).
6. For cash, type the amount they hand you — LPOS shows the change to give back automatically.
7. Tap Create Job Order & Print. Done!

Pack it and hand it back

When the laundry is done and the customer comes to collect, this is where you find their order and hand it over.

1. Tap the Release tab. You'll see a list of orders with coloured labels telling you their stage.
2. Find the order using the search box (type the JO number or customer name).
3. When laundry is folded and bagged, tap Pack and enter how many bags there are.
4. When the customer collects, tap Release. If they haven't paid yet, LPOS asks you to collect payment first.

See how the shop is doing

No calculator, no notebook. The Reports tab shows your sales and cash at a glance.

1. Tap the Reports tab.
2. Choose a time period: Today, 7 Days, or 30 Days.
3. See how many orders you took, how much you earned, how much cash you've actually collected, and how much is still owed.

💡 A quick look each night tells you exactly how the day went.

Keep an eye on supplies

Never run out of detergent mid-day again. The Inventory tab tracks your supplies and warns you when something is running low. (This is an owner/admin feature.)

1. Tap the Inventory tab.
2. When you buy more detergent or bags, tap Add Stock and enter how much you bought and the cost.
3. A red LOW label appears next to anything that's running low, so you know to restock.
