Retail operators deal with razor-thin margins, high product variety, employees you can't always watch, and customers who won't come back unless you give them a reason. Bagel was built for exactly that environment.
Ring up any item — age-restricted, EBT-eligible, or lottery — without slowing down the line.
Scan in deliveries, match invoices, and track cost-of-goods automatically. No clipboards, no surprises.
Every void, no-sale, and refund flagged automatically. Bagel Shield catches what the eye misses.
Punch cards, promos, and discounts — set once, applied automatically at checkout.
Three things quietly drain margin at every retail store — and most operators don't have the tools to catch them until it's too late.
Voids, no-sales, sweethearting, and walkouts add up faster than most operators realize. Without a system linking every register action to a record, losses accumulate in the gaps nobody's watching.
The number on the screen doesn't match the shelf. Deliveries weren't counted right, invoices weren't matched, and costs haven't been updated since last quarter. Margin reports are guesswork.
Without a loyalty program that actually works, regulars are just strangers with a habit. One bad experience or a competitor with a better punch card and they're gone — and you'll never know why.
The counter is where your business runs in real time. Bagel is built to keep it moving — every product, every payment method, every compliance requirement handled without slowing down the line.
100,000+ common retail and c-store items in the database out of the box. Unknown items can be added in seconds without stopping the transaction.
Age-restricted items trigger a mandatory ID prompt. Scan the barcode on any US driver's license — Bagel calculates age automatically. No cashier judgment required.
Cash, chip, tap, mobile wallet, EBT. Drawer opens automatically on cash. Receipt prints or sends via text. Done in seconds.
Every transaction, every void, every manager override creates a permanent record. Nothing disappears. Shift close reconciles it all automatically.
From setting up a new product to receiving a delivery and matching the invoice — Bagel handles the full product and inventory lifecycle so your back office stays accurate without extra work.
Every product in your store starts with a record in Bagel — barcode, price, category, vendor, and compliance flags all in one place. Set it once and it works at the counter, in reports, and in your inventory automatically.
Your product catalog powers the POS, your online storefront, and your delivery marketplace listings. Update a price once — it updates everywhere.
Age-restriction flags live on the product itself — not on a cashier checklist. The POS handles compliance at scan, every time, without exception.
Every product linked to its supplier. See cost history, delivery performance, and invoice discrepancies per vendor over time.
See which departments make money and which don't. Tobacco, beverages, snacks, lottery — margin broken down the way your store is organized.
Scan each item as it comes off the truck. Bagel matches barcodes to your catalog and counts quantities automatically. No clipboard, no tally sheet.
Upload or enter the vendor invoice. Bagel compares what was ordered, what was invoiced, and what was actually received. Discrepancies flagged immediately.
Your cost-of-goods updates in real time. Margin reports are always based on what you actually paid — not last quarter's prices.
Set par levels for your top sellers. Bagel alerts you when stock hits the threshold. No more realizing you're out of your best-selling item mid-shift.
Most retail operators either count inventory manually or don't count it at all. Bagel makes accurate inventory the default — not an extra job someone has to remember to do.
Sweethearting, void abuse, no-sale cash grabs, and refund fraud are hard to catch in the moment. Bagel Shield makes every suspicious pattern visible — automatically, without anyone having to look for it.
Excessive voids on a single shift, or voids that consistently follow high-value transactions — both flagged automatically.
Drawer opens without a transaction recorded. Bagel flags it, timestamps it, and associates it with the cashier on shift.
Refunds without a matching original sale, or refunds above a set threshold, surface in the Suspicious Activity Queue immediately.
Camera footage from the cashier and customer-facing cameras linked directly to the transaction record. Review in one click.
Managers receive alerts without the cashier knowing. Review happens on your terms, not in the moment.
Turn any flagged event into a documented incident with notes, tags, and escalation — in one click from the queue.
The best loyalty program is the one your cashiers don't have to think about. Bagel applies rewards and promos automatically at checkout — the customer gets recognized, and your staff does nothing extra.
Buy 9, get the 10th free. Configure any punch card program and let it run automatically. Stamps applied without any cashier action.
Earn points per dollar spent. Set redemption thresholds. Customers track their balance through your storefront or at the counter.
Weekend deals, happy hour discounts, BOGO offers — schedule them to start and end automatically. No one forgets to turn it off.
Send a targeted discount to your top 100 customers. Phone number lookup at the POS means no app download required.
Your branded storefront, Uber Eats, and DoorDash all flow into one POS queue. No separate tablet to watch. No orders missed because someone was busy at the counter.
Your domain, your branding. Customers order directly from you — no marketplace fee on those orders.
Both marketplaces connected and synced. Menu changes in Bagel update everywhere automatically.
Every order — walk-in, online, or delivery — appears in the same POS interface. One workflow for your team.
See which channel drives the most revenue, the best margins, and the highest average order — in your daily report.
Scheduling, clock-in, and access control all live in Bagel — no separate HR app, no paper schedules, no shared login that everyone knows the password to.
Create shift schedules in Bagel and publish them to your team. Employees see their upcoming shifts — no group texts, no printed schedules on the break room wall.
Employees clock in and out directly at the terminal using their PIN or employee ID. Clock events are timestamped and tied to their shift record — no buddy-punching, no manual timesheets.
Cashiers can ring up sales and nothing else. Managers can process voids and run reports. Owners see everything. Each role configured once — access enforced automatically at every terminal.
Every transaction, void, and override linked to the employee who performed it. Shift-level reports show exactly how each team member performed — useful for reviews and for spotting problems early.
Build weekly schedules, assign shifts to employees, and publish in one action. Employees always know when they work.
PIN or employee ID at the terminal. Timestamped clock events automatically tied to the published schedule.
Cashier, supervisor, manager, owner — each role sees and does exactly what they should. Nothing more, nothing less.
Every action attributed to the employee who performed it. Full audit trail by person, by shift, by transaction.
Bagel's shift close pulls together every transaction, every void, every payout, and every cash movement into one reconciliation. Done in under two minutes. Sent to your back office automatically.
Bagel gives retail operators the tools to run a tighter counter, a more accurate back office, and a more loyal customer base — without adding complexity.
