What OSPOS is
OSPOS is a free, open-source mobile point-of-sale app for small businesses using Android or iOS. It supports menu creation, transaction processing, sales tracking, and phone-based business management. Menu tools include categories, item stickers, modifier groups, sold-out toggles, discounts, and per-item tax. Paid orders can be sent as numbered tickets to a separate iPad or iPhone kitchen screen, with timers and counts of outstanding items; kitchen tickets do not show prices. Sales reporting includes daily summaries, date-range reports, cash-versus-card views, and CSV export. The Free Tier works offline without an account and stores data locally, while internet access is needed for card payments, receipts, or synchronization. Card payments use the merchant’s Stripe account, with OSPOS adding a 1% platform fee to Stripe’s rate; cash transactions are free. Inventory management is not included. OSPOS lists Stripe, Apple and Google sign-in, Resend email delivery, and Twilio SMS receipts, though SMS is not yet enabled. Card payments are available in the US and require iOS 16 or later.
Who it suits
OSPOS is aimed at small businesses such as food trucks, cafes, retail shops, salons, market vendors, and mobile services. It suits sellers needing mobile sales tools, reporting, and offline operation rather than inventory management.
