United States · California
No barcode scanner. No new register. You photograph the register tape and the invoices from your suppliers, and Stock Radar works out what you bought, what it cost, what your margins really are, and what sales tax you owe.
A sales-tax figure is only useful if it is your city’s. These are the Los Angeles details the app already carries.
The city sits at 9.75% — the statewide rate plus the county and district add-ons. Stock Radar carries it, so nothing has to be typed in and nothing gets guessed.
Cold groceries to take away are exempt in California; soda, candy and anything hot are not. Every product carries a tax class, so the split happens once when you set the product up and never again.
California taxes the redemption value along with the drink — the opposite of New York, and exactly the sort of detail that quietly puts a return out every quarter. It is handled, and it is handled the California way.
Commission on ticket sales is tracked as its own income, not muddled into merchandise margin, so you can see what the lottery counter is actually worth to you.
Stock Radar carries Los Angeles, not the whole of California. California has hundreds of district rates, and a shop in Fresno or Bakersfield would be shown the Los Angeles number — which is why the app says Los Angeles rather than California. If you are outside the city, tell us and we will say honestly whether your rate is one we can carry yet.
