- Cashiers can use English, Icibemba, or Chinyanja; the page also explains what happens if the till has no UPS.
Field notes
The page traces a sample outage from the power and internet dropping to the till queue syncing later, and notes that completed sales are saved even if there is no UPS. Its scale workflow uses a PLU—the item's key number—to match a printed label with the till; the page says other makers' layouts, including weight-in-the-barcode labels, are supported. Kasenti also lists English, Icibemba, and Chinyanja for cashier screens.
