BBQ season is here — is your butcher shop’s EPOS system ready?

Running a butcher’s shop today isn’t just about having great produce – it’s also about running a smooth, efficient business that keeps customers happy and coming back. That’s where integrated weighing systems come into their own.

With Cunninghams’ butcher EPOS solution, butchers can streamline the way they work, improve accuracy, and make day-to-day tasks a whole lot easier – especially for busy periods like the summer BBQ season. Here’s how:

Speed and accuracy at the counter

When the sun’s out and customers are stocking up on burgers, sausages, steaks and skewers, you don’t want to be held back by slow or clunky systems. Serving efficiently is key – and that’s exactly what Cunninghams’ integrated weighing solution helps with.

Our EPOS software connects directly with top scales like Avery Berkel and CAS, so you can:

• Weigh products accurately at the counter

• Instantly print clear, compliant labels with all the right info

• Finalise the sale in just a few taps – no need for separate systems

It keeps queues moving and service smooth – crucial when customers are preparing for weekend barbecues and garden parties.

Smarter stock and waste management

Managing fresh stock during peak seasons can be tricky – you need enough on hand without the risk of waste. Our EPOS system helps you stay in control, even when demand spikes.

• Monitor stock levels in real time

• Set up automatic reordering for popular summer lines

• Reduce waste by avoiding over-ordering

• Spot bestsellers and stock accordingly

Whether it’s burgers flying off the shelves or steaks in high demand, the system gives you the insight to plan ahead with confidence.

Flexible pricing for different customers

For butchers who cater to both retail and trade – like local pubs or caterers prepping for summer events – flexible pricing is essential. Cunninghams makes it easy with built-in price banding.

• Offer trade prices and discounts where needed

• Create special offers or bundles for BBQ season

• Avoid confusion with automatic pricing at the till

No manual calculations, just smart, seamless pricing that adapts to your customer base.

Encourage loyalty through seasonal campaigns

Summer’s a great time to build customer loyalty. Whether it’s rewarding repeat BBQ buyers or offering discounts on family packs, our EPOS solution makes it easy.

• Run points-based loyalty schemes

• Tailor offers around seasonal favourites

• Use sales insights to personalise your promotions

It’s a great way to boost repeat business and keep customers coming back throughout the summer – and beyond.

Clear reporting to help you grow

Cunninghams’ built-in reporting tools give you a clear view of what’s happening in your business, so you can make informed decisions – whether you're reviewing summer sales or planning for quieter months.

• See peak sales times and bestsellers

• Review staff performance

• Track seasonal promotions

• Plan smarter stock orders

These insights help you stay agile and ready, whatever the season brings.
