## Problems We Solve

- **The 6-9 Month Size Is Always Gone, the 2T Sits Forever** — Clothing, shoes, and diapers all run in sizes, and a few sizes sell out constantly while others gather dust. Tracking it by eye means you are out of the size every parent wants and overstocked on the ones nobody is buying — cash trapped on the wrong shelves.
- **A Parent Asks "What's Right for a One-Year-Old?" and Staff Are Guessing** — Customers shop by their child's age and stage, not by SKU. Without products organised by age group, staff cannot quickly point a parent to the right toys, gear, or clothing, and you miss the easy sell to someone who genuinely wants help.

## How EliteTeQ Solves It

- Track every size variation with live counts and low-stock alerts on the fast-moving sizes. *You keep the popular sizes in stock, stop overbuying the slow ones, and free up cash on the shelves.*
- Organise products by age group and stage with easy filtering and search. *Staff point parents to the right products in seconds, turning a question into a confident sale.*

## How It Works

1. **Set Up Your Store** — Import your product catalog with age groups, sizes, and pricing.
2. **Train Your Staff** — Minimal training required. Staff can start selling immediately.
3. **Run & Grow Your Store** — Use insights to manage inventory, track preferences, and increase sales.

## Running a Business in New York

New York sits in New York State and is the United States' largest city and commercial centre.

The United States has no national VAT: sales tax is set by state and local jurisdictions and New York City adds a local rate on top of the state rate, with category-level exemptions that mean certain clothing and grocery items are taxed differently from general merchandise. A till here must apply the correct combined rate and category rules rather than a single national percentage. Card and mobile wallet payment dominate, and tipping flows require dedicated handling in hospitality.

The city adds a local rate on top of the state rate, with category-level exemptions that tax certain clothing and grocery lines differently from general merchandise. The binding constraint is applying the correct combined rate and category rules per item, plus tip handling in hospitality.

## Frequently Asked Questions

- **What currency and payment methods does EliteTeQ POS support in New York?** EliteTeQ POS prices in USD ($) and records Apple Pay, card and cash against the same sale, so baby & kids stores businesses in New York close the day on one set of reconciled totals instead of three. Tax invoices are produced to IRS requirements, and the till keeps working when the connection drops.
- **Is EliteTeQ POS suitable for baby & kids stores businesses in New York?** Yes. New York sits in New York State, and a POS here has to apply the combined state and city sales tax with category exemptions, and handle tips. EliteTeQ POS is built for exactly that — USD pricing, Apple Pay recorded against each sale, IRS-ready tax invoicing, and full offline operation so trading continues when power or network does not.
- **What payment methods are supported?** Cash, credit/debit cards and local payment methods including Apple Pay are all recorded against the same sale, so the day reconciles once.
- **Can I track products by age group?** Yes, products can be categorized by age group, category, brand, and other attributes.
- **How do I manage different clothing and diaper sizes?** Inventory is tracked across all size variations with alerts for popular sizes.

## From the EliteTeQ Team

**We know babies grow out of everything — and that's your repeat business.** We know the 6-9 month size that's always gone, the parent who shops by their child's age, and the customer who should buy from you for years but drifts off. EliteTeQ was not built in a boardroom — it was built next to real baby and kids retailers in Nairobi, tracking sizes, organising by age, and keeping families coming back as their child grows.
