A till for the bar and shop, in the same books as the rooms
Sundowners, a bottle of wine at dinner, a curio on the way out. Ring it up on WStation's till from any phone or tablet: the sale is a tax invoice, the stock counts itself down, and the takings land in the same income and tax report as the rooms.

Quick at the counter
Tap the items, take the money, done. Cash, card, EFT or mobile money.
Stock that counts itself
Each sale takes the items off stock. Set a reorder level and see what's running low before Friday night.
No second set of books
Till takings are tax invoices like any other: in income, in the tax return, in the journal.
How it works
One stay, four names, zero retyping
Every guest is one record that changes its name as they go: asked for a price, said yes, stayed, paid. Each step is one press of a button.
- QuotationThey ask what it costs. Rooms, nights, guests and a deposit, priced in a minute.
- BookingThey say yes. One click, and the room is theirs on the calendar — nobody else can have it.
- InvoiceThey check out. The bill is raised from what was quoted, nothing typed twice.
- Tax invoiceThey pay. Part or all, by cash, card or transfer — the receipt is written and it is in the books.
In the till
Everything a small bar or shop needs
- Products and services — with price, cost, SKU, category and unit
- Stock and reorder levels — low stock flagged before you run out
- Separate tax classes — standard, accommodation or exempt per item
- Tills and shifts — open with a float, close with a cash count — over/short worked out
- Pay-outs — petty cash from the drawer, recorded as an expense on the shift
- Tillers — staff who use the till without seeing the rest of the books
Everything in it
Built for guesthouses, lodges and B&Bs
No modules to buy and nothing to set up first. Turn off what you don't use.
- Occupancy calendar — every room down the side, every night across the top
- No double bookings — a taken room is refused before the quote or booking is saved
- Airbnb & Booking.com calendar sync — each room swaps calendars with its listings every 30 minutes
- Front desk — today's arrivals and departures, one-tap check-in and check-out, walk-ins without a quote
- Your own booking page — guests send their dates to your enquiries inbox — no commission
- Quotes guests accept online — send a quote as a link; they accept on their phone
- Automatic guest messages — a confirmation, check-in details before arrival and a review request after — by email or WhatsApp
- Deposits and part payments — ask for a percentage up front; the balance looks after itself
- Invoices and tax invoices — your logo, bank details and a QR code on every document; credit notes for corrections
- Housekeeping board — checking a guest out marks the room for cleaning
- VAT, GST or sales tax — including a separate rate for accommodation and tourism levies, or no tax at all
- A till with stock — for the bar, the shop or anything sold over the counter, with shifts and cash-up
- Books that keep themselves — income, expenses, debtors, journal, trial balance and audit trail
- Your team — admins, staff and tillers, invited by link; run more than one property from one login
- Phone, tablet or computer — installable on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone — and it keeps working when the signal drops
Questions
Asked before signing up
Can I charge bar drinks to a guest's room?
Add them to the guest's stay as extra lines and they go on the invoice at checkout — or ring them up on the till if the guest pays as they go.
Does it work with a card machine?
WStation records card payments; the card machine you already have takes the money. There is no direct card-machine connection.
Can I print a till slip?
Yes. Each sale is a tax invoice you can print or send.
Is the till free?
Yes, it is part of WStation.
