United States · New York
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 Brooklyn details the app already carries.
New York City is 8.875% — the state rate plus the city rate plus the transit district. Stock Radar carries that rate, so nothing has to be typed in and nothing gets guessed.
Unprepared grocery is exempt in New York; a bottle of soda and a bag of candy are not. Every product carries a tax class, so the split happens once when you set the product up and never again.
New York taxes the drink, not the deposit — which is the opposite of California, and the sort of detail that quietly puts a return a few dollars out every quarter. It is handled, and it is handled the New York 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.
The rate in Brooklyn is not the rate in Ontario County, and Stock Radar carries 79 New York localities rather than one state average. Set your shop to the right one at signup and the number is right from the first day. New York is the only American state we do this way — and it is why a Brooklyn shop gets a page of its own.
