Reach retail shops and hospitality counters with a scope-led outreach draft and evidence of the promised result.
This is a planning reference for pos installation support. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional POS support POS-87 configures one merchant-owned Android tablet running Loyverse with one Epson TM-m 30 Bluetooth receipt printer and ten already-approved test items. The exact model/interface is an example from the vendor compatibility list; the supplier must verify the actual unit before purchase. Output is compatibility sheet, configured printer, test-receipt log and cashier exercise. Card-terminal/acquirer configuration, electrical repair, cash handling, fiscal/eTIMS integration and device unlocking are excluded.
A draft to adapt before sending
Hi [merchant], I can check your Android tablet and exact Bluetooth printer compatibility, configure receipt printing and train one cashier with isolated test items. Please send model-label photos and your invoicing requirements. Hardware purchase and any payment/fiscal integration will be separately confirmed.
This is an unsent draft. Replace placeholders and assumed prices, confirm the actual scope and remove any claim you cannot support. No prospect was contacted for this example.
Prepare proof of the specific promise
| Question from the prospect | Evidence to prepare |
|---|---|
| What will I receive? | Install and configure a licensed POS package with tested hardware and daily workflows. |
| What must be checked before starting? | TM-m 30 Bluetooth is not assumed equivalent to every similar-named Ethernet/USB variant. |
| How will acceptance be confirmed? | Owner can reconnect/reprint as supported; receipt output is not presented as proof of KRA compliance. |
| Which mismatch must be addressed honestly? | Bluetooth paired but no receipt |
| What input evidence supports suitability? | Supplier demonstrates with the actual tablet/app before sale and states warranty/return terms. |
