The POS system for kiosks, corner shops & retail
Scan, settle deposits, ring up – offline too, without expensive special hardware.
At half past six in the morning every move counts: a newspaper, a coffee, two deposit bottles returned. DiKAS scans barcodes, offsets the deposit on the same receipt and counts stock in the background – on any device, without expensive POS hardware. Kiosk, corner shop, village store or florist: in local operation the till keeps running without internet, and DiKAS charges no surcharge on your card payments.

Frequently asked
Kiosk & retail: good to know
Does the till stop when the internet drops?
No – in local operation DiKAS keeps ringing up on your own network, even without an internet line. A real plus for village stores with a weak connection. Only pure cloud operation needs a connection.
Operation modes at a glance →Does DiKAS support barcode scanners?
Yes. Common USB barcode scanners work – items are booked onto the receipt instantly via the barcode.
Can I model deposits and returnables?
Yes. Deposit is charged as a separate item and offset on return – sale and deposit return land on the same receipt.
Do I need a higher plan for inventory management?
Fast sales already run in the Basic plan. Stock and inventory management is an optional module you add when needed.
