SmartPOS Lite - Laravel Point of Sale System for Retail

Overview

SmartPOS Lite is a real, single-register point-of-sale system built on
Laravel 13. It is not a demo or a UI mockup. It runs a full checkout flow
with server-side price and tax calculation, transactional stock control
that can never oversell a product, a searchable product catalog, sales
history with filters, and printable PDF receipts. Drop it onto a counter
PC, a tablet, or a back-office laptop and start ringing up sales in
minutes.

Key Features

- Hand-rolled cashier authentication. No Breeze or Jetstream bloat,
  just Auth::attempt(), hashed passwords, and session regeneration on
  login. Ships seeded with 3 demo cashier accounts.
- Real checkout, not a calculator. Search or tap to add products from a
  live grid, adjust quantities inline, apply a flat discount, and choose
  cash or card. Cash sales compute change due automatically.
- The server never trusts the client. Every unit price, the 8% tax, and
  the final total are recalculated from the database at submit time, inside
  a single database transaction that also decrements stock. A cart that
  would oversell any product is rejected outright and nothing is written.
- Sales history with real filters. Filter by date range, cashier, and
  payment method, with a running filtered total and a full line-item detail
  view for every sale.
- One-click PDF receipts. A narrow, 80mm-thermal-style receipt PDF is
  generated on demand with barryvdh/laravel-dompdf, ready to print or
  archive.
- Inventory at a glance. A searchable product list shows stock levels,
  cost versus price, and an inline restock form. A low-stock dashboard
  widget surfaces anything at or under its threshold before you run out.
- Daily sales dashboard. Today's revenue, transaction count, items
  sold, and a top-products table, refreshed on every page load.
- Fully responsive. A desktop sidebar layout and a dedicated mobile
  layout with a bottom tab bar mean the register works from a tablet or
  phone too.
- Five languages, right out of the box. The full interface, including
  the checkout screen, receipts, and validation messages, is translated
  into English, Arabic, French, Spanish, and Turkish, with a language
  switcher on every page. Arabic uses a proper right-to-left layout, and
  the printed receipt renders Arabic text correctly, joined and
  right-to-left, not as broken boxes.
- Seeded with realistic demo data. 50 products across 8 categories
  come with varied stock levels, including several at or under the
  low-stock threshold, plus roughly 90 historical sales spread across 45
  days and 3 cashiers, so the app looks like a live, busy register the
  moment you log in.
