In the fast-paced business environment of the Czech Republic, training new employees to use a POS system needs to be quick and effective. Many store owners worry that new staff will take a long time to get used to it or make mistakes during real transactions.
The good news is that with Gokasa’s modern POS system, you can train new employees in just 15 minutes, thanks to its intuitive interface, streamlined workflow, and especially the Employee Training Mode built into the software — allowing staff to practice without affecting real revenue.
Here is a 5-step quick training process you can apply immediately.
1. Start with the most basic operations
Instead of explaining all features at once, focus on the daily tasks the employee will use. Start with logging in, understanding the main interface and key buttons, finding products and adding them to the order, adjusting quantities, deleting items, and checking the total. The best approach is to let employees practice each step as you show it, rather than explaining everything at once. Practicing immediately after seeing the steps helps them learn faster and reduces mistakes.
2. Teach the payment process – the most important part
Payment is the most frequently used task, so it should be explained clearly and concisely. Employees need to know how to select the payment method — cash, card, or voucher — and if using a card, how the POS automatically sends the amount to the payment terminal. They also need to know how to print receipts, reprint receipts if requested, and cancel transactions if mistakes occur. With Training Mode, employees can practice all of these steps without affecting real data, building confidence before handling real transactions.
3. Introduce additional but necessary functions
Depending on the business type, you may need to teach some secondary functions: splitting or moving tables in restaurants, adding notes for orders or toppings, scanning barcodes, quickly checking prices, closing shifts, and viewing reports. Focus only on the essential tasks employees will use during their shift, so they are not overwhelmed and can remember more easily.
4. Practice simulations like real customers in Training Mode
A critical step for employees to master the POS is hands-on simulation. When Training Mode is enabled on Gokasa POS, employees can perform all sales operations as if real: creating orders, editing products, selecting payment methods, printing receipts, canceling orders — but all actions are simulated, without affecting inventory or revenue reports. This is the best way for them to get familiar and confident. Employees should perform at least 2–3 sample transactions consecutively to quickly remember the workflow.
5. Finish with quick guides and videos
After the practice session, provide employees with quick reference guides, instructional videos, and Gokasa’s technical support hotline. This helps them feel confident and gives them a reference to review at any time, reducing repeated questions. It also helps them maintain speed and accuracy during their first shifts.
