Co-op POS System for Grocery Markets

Trusted by grocery stores and local specialty markets

Why co-ops need an industry-specific POS system

Member-owned stores run differently than traditional groceries. Markt POS is co-op POS software built for member discounts, bulk sales, and local inventory that changes daily.

Discounts that match your member structure

Apply different rates by member category (e.g., senior, working member, needs-based), run member-only sale days and case discounts, and set end dates on the programs that renew.

Bulk bins and BYO containers

Sell grains, spices, and liquids by weight, down to four decimal places. Your scales and your POS share the same prices, so when a member brings their own jar, you just tare and ring it up.

Local inventory that changes daily

Build purchase orders across multiple vendors and receive them against what actually shows up. Import new products by CSV, and track expiration dates, case breaks, and shrink as local product comes and goes.

Reporting your board can actually read

Your board members are elected member-owners, not grocery software experts. Give them a clear look at sales, margins, and taxable items from the store, at home, or on a phone.

Payment flexibility for every member

Take EBT cash and food benefits, and split a single basket between EBT, cash, and credit. If your internet drops, you can keep taking card payments.

Looking at Markt POS compared to Toast, it was $200 to $250 a month in savings — and we desperately need a system that someone like me could get data out of. Now we have Markt POS in the store. I have it on my home computer. I have it on my phone. And it’s very easy to see what’s going on.

DO MORE WITHOUT MORE STAFF

Spend less time
on busywork

Most co-ops run a full grocery store with a small team and thin margins. Markt POS takes care of the repetitive jobs that eat up valuable time, like changing shelf prices and taking online orders.

Online ordering and delivery

Offer curbside pickup and delivery to your members through Local Express, eGrowcery, Mercato, and Freshop.

Self-checkout kiosks

Add self-checkout to move lines faster at busy times and give members another way to pay. Your staffed lanes stay open for the conversations your store is known for.

Electronic shelf tags

Change a price in the POS and the shelf tag updates on its own. No more printing and swapping labels by hand every time a local product changes.

FAQs: Grocery co-op POS software

What is a co-op POS system?

A co-op POS system is a grocery point of sale solution that fits how a member-owned store operates. It applies member discounts at checkout and sells bulk goods by weight — two things generic retail software tends to miss.
