## Does EliteTeQ work for fish and seafood shops in Adama?

Yes. EliteTeQ works in Adama with ETB pricing, telebirr, card and cash recorded on every sale, records ready for MOR and full offline mode.

Adama sits on the main corridor between Addis Ababa and the Djibouti route, which gives it substantial transit, logistics and hospitality trade alongside local retail. Demand is steadier than in farming towns nearby, and businesses benefit from clear bulk and unit pricing given the mix of supply and retail activity.

For a fish shop in Adama, that means a POS has to record each telebirr and bank-transfer payment against its sale and keep selling through power and network cuts.

- **Currency:** ETB
- **How customers pay:** telebirr, CBE Birr, M-Pesa, cards and bank transfers
- **Tax records:** Ready for MOR
- **Connectivity:** Keeps selling offline, syncs when back online

## What problems does a fish shop POS solve?

A POS like EliteTeQ stops the money a fish shop loses to untracked stock, slow or wrong bills, unapproved staff changes and guesswork, because every sale, purchase and change is recorded in one system.

**Staff charging yesterday's price?** Supply and price change with every catch. Set the day's prices in one place and they apply on every till, so every sale uses today's price.

**Freezer stock that never matches?** Fish arrives by weight and leaves by weight or by piece. Receive and sell it from one stock record, so the cold room and the system agree.

**Spoilage and shrinkage hiding your margin?** Fresh fish loses weight and spoils if it does not sell. Spoilage and trimming losses are recorded as write-offs with a reason, so your real margin shows.

**Whole, cleaned or by the kilo?** The same fish sells whole, cleaned, by the kilo or by the piece, each at its own price. For weight, the cashier enters it and the till works out the price.

**Restaurants paying later from a notebook?** Each hotel and restaurant has an account with a limit, orders are invoiced, and statements go out on WhatsApp. Walk-in customers pay with telebirr, card or cash.

## What can a fish shop owner see on EliteTeQ each day?

On EliteTeQ, a fish shop owner can check today's sales, check today's prices, see cold-room stock and see what was lost, live on one screen and from any phone.

### From the morning catch to the freezer

Tilapia → Catfish → Mackerel → Sardines → Tuna → Fish fillets → Prawns → Crab → Squid → Dried & smoked fish

## What does EliteTeQ do for your cold room, staff and books?

EliteTeQ keeps the stock, purchases, staff and books of a fish shop in one system: live stock in every branch, purchases and returns by supplier, damages on record, an audit log for every void and discount, and accounts that update with every sale.

**Know what is in every freezer** (Stock · warehouses & branches) Live stock of fresh and frozen fish, by weight, for every cold room and branch, without opening every freezer.

**Know what the catch really cost** (Purchases · purchase returns) Every delivery is recorded at cost by weight against its supplier, and fish that arrives unfit goes back and off their bill.

**Today's price on every sale** (Sales · sales returns) Whole, cleaned, by kilo or by piece, each sells at the day’s price, and a returned order is recorded properly instead of quietly swapped.

**See what the cold chain is costing you** (Damages) Spoiled fish and trimming losses are written off with a reason, so losses show up today, not at the end of a bad month.

**Fish where the customers are** (Stock transfers) Send fillets or frozen stock from the main shop to a branch that is running short, with both counts right.

**Staff sell, you set the prices** (Roles & permissions) Only the right role can set the day's prices, give credit or void a sale, and only you see costs and margins.

**Every price change has a name** (Multi-user · audit logs) Each person has a login, so a price change, a void or a gap in the drawer is traced to the shift and the person.

**Restaurants paid up without phone calls** (WhatsApp) Send statements to hotels and restaurants, and confirm orders with suppliers, on WhatsApp.

**Follow every catch to the counter** (Product movement reports) Received, transferred, sold or written off: the full history of every fish, by weight.

**Books that keep up with the counter** (Accounting) Sales, purchases, losses and expenses post to your accounts as they happen, with profit by branch and fish.

**Your team in the same system** (HRM) Staff records, roles and sales by person sit next to your stock and sales, not in a separate notebook.

**Your business in your pocket, online or off** (Cloud · offline) Check every branch from your phone, and keep selling when the network drops. Everything syncs when it returns.

## Fish shop POS vs memory and a notebook: what changes?

Moving from memory and a notebook to EliteTeQ means: today's prices on every till; cold-room stock by weight; losses written off with a reason.

| Manual / spreadsheet | EliteTeQ |
|---|---|
| Yesterday's prices in staff heads | Today's prices on every till |
| Freezer counted by guesswork | Cold-room stock by weight |
| Spoiled fish thrown out unrecorded | Losses written off with a reason |
| Whole and cleaned prices guessed | Each way of selling at its own price |
| Restaurant balances in a book | Trade accounts with limits |
| Takings that never match | Closing by payment method |
| Profit is a guess | Margin after losses, by fish |

No. A card machine only takes card payments.

You can keep your card machine and record its payments against each sale.

### Can I sell fish by weight?

Yes. Fish can be sold whole, by kilo, by piece or cleaned, each with its own price, from one stock record. For weight, the cashier enters it and the till works out the price.

Yes. Set the day's prices in one place and they apply on every till immediately.
