Why owners are switching
"NRS was charging me hidden processing fees and pushing ads I didn't want on my customer screen. Brega fixed both — and the tobacco rebate tool pays my subscription."
Pedro M.Bodega owner · Paterson, NJ
"Switched in an afternoon. Kept my scanner, kept my printer. My cashiers picked it up the same shift. The Spanish kitchen display was a huge bonus."
María R.Deli owner · Newark, NJ
"The AI assistant flagged products I was losing money on. First month I saw which energy drinks to drop and which beers to push. Real numbers, not guesses."
Carlos S.Deli & grocery · Jersey City, NJ
Brega is currently onboarding founding stores. Quotes above are illustrative of the conversations driving our early access program — real names go up here as merchants approve.

* NRS subsidizes hardware costs through forced customer display ads, scan data monetization, and payment processing margins. The total cost of ownership is often higher than a transparent monthly subscription.
How about Square, Clover, or Toast?
Square and Clover are great general-purpose POS systems — but they weren't built for bodegas. They don't track tobacco scan data, don't help you collect manufacturer rebates, and don't have built-in kitchen order systems with multi-language support. Toast is focused on full-service restaurants, not corner stores with a deli counter. Brega is purpose-built for the way your store actually works — bodega register up front, deli in the back, tobacco behind the counter, and an owner who needs to check sales from their phone at the wholesaler.
Switching from NRS?
Most NRS stores switch to Brega in an afternoon. Here's what the process looks like:
1
Export your products
Download your product list from the NRS portal. We import it directly — barcodes, prices, categories, everything.
2
Keep your hardware
Your existing barcode scanner and receipt printer almost certainly work with Brega. USB scanners are plug-and-play. We'll confirm compatibility for free.
3
Run both side by side
Many stores run Brega and NRS in parallel for a week. Once you're comfortable, turn off the NRS box. No pressure, no rush.
4
Collect your tobacco rebates
NRS doesn't help you register for manufacturer rebates. We do — for free. Most stores start collecting $30-50/month within a week.
Have an NRS contract? Check for early termination terms. Many NRS contracts are month-to-month or already expired. Contact us and we'll help you figure out your situation.

Most bodegas don't collect tobacco manufacturer rebates — Altria alone pays $0.15 per carton through scan data programs. If you sell 50 cartons a week, that's $390/year you're not collecting.
Altria's 2026 Digital Trade Program rewards stores with loyalty programs and age verification — both included in Brega Pro — with higher-tier rebate bonuses.
We don't just give you the software — we help you register with each manufacturer and set everything up. Most stores are running within a week.
Your tobacco rebates are waiting.
Start your trial today — we'll register you with every manufacturer for free.

Questions bodega owners always ask
What happens when my internet goes down?
Brega keeps ringing up sales. Every transaction is saved locally and syncs to the cloud the moment your connection comes back. You never lose a sale, and you never tell a customer "the system is down."
Can my cashier use it if she only speaks Spanish?
Yes — the register, kitchen display, and customer screen all switch to Spanish (plus 5 other languages: Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Bengali, Haitian Creole). Your cashier doesn't need a single English word to ring up an order.
Do I need to buy new hardware?
Probably not. Brega works with almost any USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner, any ESC/POS thermal receipt printer (Star, Epson, and most generics), and any Windows or Linux mini-PC or tablet. We'll confirm your existing equipment is compatible for free before you commit.
I'm under an NRS contract. Can I still switch?
Most NRS contracts are month-to-month or already expired — check yours. If you do have time left, many owners run both side-by-side for a few weeks until their NRS term ends. We'll help you read the contract for free; contact us and we'll take a look.
How do tobacco rebates actually work?
Each manufacturer (Altria, RJR, ITG, Liggett) runs a scan-data program that pays stores $0.08-$0.15 per carton sold of their brands. Brega generates the weekly reports each manufacturer requires, in their format, and we help you register with each one. Most stores see their first $30-50 rebate check within a month.
What does "no forced ads" actually mean?
NRS-style POS systems show ads on your customer-facing screen — for other brands, often even your competitors' products — and you can't turn them off. Brega's customer display shows only what YOU put on it: your promos, your flyers, your message. We never sell ad inventory to anyone.
How do I cancel if I don't like it?
Open Settings → Cancel. No phone tree, no retention specialist, no contract penalty. Your data is yours — export it to CSV anytime. We'd rather earn the next month than trap you into one.
What about EBT/SNAP?
Built in via our Forage integration. We help you get FNS-authorized (the federal certification, 3-6 months, free) and run your first EBT transaction. SNAP, EBT Cash, WIC, all handled — including split payments where part of the basket is EBT-eligible and the rest is card or cash.

A checkout experience built for speed. Ring up customers fast, handle any payment type, and keep your line moving.
Barcode Scanning
Scan items with a USB scanner or your phone camera. Products appear instantly with price, stock, and age restrictions.
Split Payments
Customer wants to pay half cash, half card? Or EBT for groceries and card for non-food items? One transaction, multiple payment types.
EBT / SNAP Accepted
Accept food stamps and EBT Cash directly through the POS. Automatic SNAP-eligible item detection. Balance check before charging. We handle the FNS software certification process for you (typically 3-6 months — we start immediately so you're ready as soon as possible).
Age Verification
Automatically prompts cashiers to check ID for tobacco, alcohol, and other age-restricted items. Keeps you compliant.
Void & Refund
Manager PIN required for voids and refunds. Every action is logged in the audit trail — no unexplained cash shortages.
Tips
One-tap tip buttons (15%, 18%, 20%, custom) for deli and prepared food sales.
Included in all plans
i
Smart Inventory
Know what you have, what's selling, and what to reorder — without counting shelves by hand.
Real-Time Stock Tracking
Every sale automatically decreases stock count. You always know exactly what's on your shelves without manual counting.
Low Stock Alerts
Set reorder thresholds per product. Get notified via Telegram or the dashboard when items are running low — before you run out.
Vendor Invoice OCR
Take a photo of a vendor invoice with your phone. The system reads it and imports products, quantities, and costs automatically.
Reorder Forecasting
Based on your actual sales velocity, the system suggests what to reorder and when. No more guessing or over-ordering.
Barcode Label Printing
Print shelf labels with barcode, product name, and price. Great for deli items, repackaged goods, or anything without a UPC.
Dead Stock Detection
Identifies products sitting on shelves that aren't selling. Stop tying up cash in inventory that isn't moving.
Included in all plans

Coupons, Deals & Loyalty
Generate coupons, run promotions, and build a loyalty program — all from one screen. See exactly what's working and what's not.
Coupon Generator
Create percentage-off, dollar-off, or buy-one-get-one coupons in seconds. Set start/end dates, usage limits, minimum purchase amounts, and restrict to specific products or categories. Print the coupon code or generate a scannable barcode.
Automatic Discount Application
Coupons apply automatically at checkout when the cashier scans or enters the code. No manual math, no missed discounts, no arguments at the register.
Loyalty Rewards Program
Customers earn points on every purchase. You set the reward tiers — $5 off after 100 points, free item at 200, whatever works for your store. Points tracked by phone number, no card needed.
Promotion Effectiveness Tracking
See exactly which coupons are being redeemed, how much revenue they're driving, and what your effective discount rate is. Kill promos that aren't working, double down on ones that are.
Customer Rewards Portal
Customers check their points balance on their phone — no app download needed. They see how close they are to the next reward. Drives repeat visits.
Example: A bodega owner creates a "Buy 5 coffees, get 1 free" loyalty card and a "$2 off any sandwich over $6" weekend coupon. Regulars start buying their morning coffee at the store instead of the chain down the block. The owner sees a 23% increase in morning traffic and the coupon tracker shows the sandwich deal generated $340 in incremental weekend revenue.

K
Kitchen Order System
If your store has a deli, grill, or food prep area, this turns it into a smooth operation — no more shouting orders across the counter.
Customer Ordering Tablet
Put a tablet on the counter or mount it on the wall. Customers browse your menu, customize their order, and submit it — no cashier needed for the food side.
Kitchen Display Screen
Orders appear on a screen in the kitchen in real time. Staff mark items as "in progress" and "ready." No more lost paper tickets.
Register Integration
Kitchen orders flow back to the register for payment. The cashier sees exactly what was ordered and the total. One system, no re-entering.
7 Languages
English, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Bengali, French, Korean. Your kitchen staff and customers can use the system in the language they're most comfortable with.
Example: A bodega with a deli counter sets up a customer tablet. During lunch rush, customers place their own sandwich orders while the cashier handles register sales. Kitchen throughput doubles without adding staff.

A
AI Business Assistant
Like having a business consultant on call 24/7 — except it actually knows your numbers. Ask questions in plain English, get answers that help you make better decisions.
Ask Anything About Your Business
"What's my best-selling product this month?" "Am I making money on the deli?" "Which employee had the most sales last week?" Just type the question.
Pricing & Margin Advice
"Should I raise the price on Arizona iced tea?" The assistant looks at your sales velocity, competitor pricing context, and margin to give you a real recommendation — not just a number.
Staffing Insights
"When are my busiest hours on Saturdays?" See traffic patterns and get staffing suggestions so you're not paying someone to stand around at 3 PM or short-staffed at 5 PM.
Inventory Decisions
"What should I stop carrying?" The assistant identifies products that are tying up shelf space and cash but barely selling. It factors in margin, velocity, and seasonal trends.
Plain English, Real Context
This isn't a chatbot that gives generic advice. It has access to your actual sales data, inventory, and trends. Every answer is grounded in your store's real numbers.
Example: An owner asks "Why did my revenue drop this week?" The assistant checks the data and responds: "Revenue is down 12% vs last week. The main driver is a 34% drop in tobacco sales — you ran out of Newport 100s on Tuesday and didn't restock until Thursday. That SKU alone accounts for $380 in missed sales. I'd recommend setting a low-stock alert at 5 cartons."
Pro plan
Flyer Creator
Create professional store flyers in minutes — no design skills needed. Pick a template, add your products and prices, and print or share.
Ready-Made Templates
Choose from multiple flyer layouts designed for bodega and convenience store promotions — weekly specials, holiday sales, new arrivals, combo deals.
Drag & Drop Products
Pull products directly from your inventory. Prices, images, and names auto-populate — no retyping. Change a price in inventory and the flyer updates too.
Live Preview
See exactly what your flyer looks like as you build it. Adjust layout, colors, and text in real time before printing.
Export & Print
Export as PDF for printing or as an image for sharing on WhatsApp, Instagram, or your customer display. Standard letter size, ready for your printer.
Display on Customer Screen
Push your flyer directly to the customer-facing display. Rotate between multiple flyers and promotions throughout the day.
Example: Every Friday, a bodega owner creates a weekend flyer with specials on beer, snacks, and deli combos. She picks a template, drags in 6 products from inventory, and hits export. The PDF goes to her printer for the window, and the image version goes on the customer display and her store's WhatsApp group. Total time: 5 minutes.
Pro plan
Q
QuickBooks & Xero Sync
Your accountant will thank you. Sales, products, and customers sync automatically — no more spreadsheets or double entry.
Automatic Nightly Sync
Every night at 11 PM, your day's sales, new products, and customer data sync to QuickBooks Online or Xero. You don't have to do anything.
Sales as Receipts
Each transaction becomes a sales receipt in your accounting software. Cash and card sales are routed to the correct accounts automatically.
Product & Customer Sync
New products and customers created in the POS appear in your accounting system. No re-entering names, prices, or contact info.
Encrypted Credentials
Your QuickBooks/Xero login tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM on your local machine. We never see your accounting credentials.
Example: Tax season used to mean 2 weeks of the owner manually entering receipts into QuickBooks. Now it's already done — the accountant pulls up the books and everything matches the POS reports to the penny.
Pro plan
T
Tobacco Scan Data & Rebates
Most bodegas are leaving $200-600 per year on the table. Tobacco manufacturers pay rebates for sales data — and almost nobody in NJ is collecting them.
4 Manufacturers Tracked
Altria (Marlboro, L&M) at $0.15/carton. RJR (Camel, Newport) at $0.12/carton. ITG (Kool, Winston) at $0.10/carton. Liggett (Eagle, Pyramid) at $0.08/carton.
Automatic Report Generation
The system identifies tobacco products by UPC, groups them by manufacturer, and generates the exact CSV format each company requires. Weekly or monthly — you choose.
We Help You Register
Most store owners don't know these programs exist. We walk you through the registration process for each manufacturer — for free. Most stores are collecting rebates within a week.
Buydown & Promotion Tracking
When manufacturers offer temporary price reductions (buydowns), the system tracks them separately so you know exactly how much you're saving and when promos expire.
Rebate Analytics
See estimated rebate earnings on your dashboard. Know exactly how much you're getting back from each manufacturer every month.
Example: A bodega selling 60 cartons/week across all brands was collecting zero in rebates. After signing up with Brega and registering with Altria and RJR, they started receiving $45/month in rebate checks — nearly covering their entire Pro subscription.
Pro plan
M
Mobile Companion App
Your store in your pocket. Check how things are going, manage inventory, and get alerts — whether you're home, at the wholesaler, or on vacation.
Sales Dashboard On the Go
See today's revenue, transaction count, average ticket, and top products — all from your phone. No need to be at the register to know how the store is doing.
Mobile Inventory with Barcode Scanner
Walk around your store and scan items with your phone camera to check stock, update prices, or add new products. Great for receiving deliveries.
Push Notifications
Get alerts for low stock, large transactions, and daily summaries. Also available via Telegram if you prefer.
Works Offline
The mobile app is a PWA (Progressive Web App) — install it from the browser, no app store needed. Core features work even without internet.
Role-Based Views
Managers see what they need (inventory, daily close). Owners see everything (analytics, reports, settings). Cashiers see nothing — they don't need the mobile app.
Example: An owner is at the cash & carry wholesaler and can't remember if he needs more Modelo. He opens the app, scans the barcode, and sees he has 4 left with a reorder point of 12. He buys two cases and updates the stock count right there in the aisle.
Pro plan
Time Clock & Scheduling
Track employee hours, manage shifts, and know who's working — all from the POS. No separate time tracking app needed.
PIN-Based Clock In/Out
Employees enter their PIN to clock in when they start their shift and clock out when they leave. The system automatically clocks them in when they log into the register.
Shift Scheduling
Create weekly schedules, assign shifts to employees, and see who's scheduled for each day. Employees can view their upcoming shifts on the mobile app.
Hours Tracking & Reports
See total hours worked per employee per pay period. Export to CSV for payroll. No more paper timesheets or guessing how many hours someone worked.
Auto Clock-In on Login
When an employee enters their PIN at the register, the system automatically starts their clock. When they switch users or lock the register, it prompts them to clock out. No extra steps.
Full Audit Trail
Every action — every void, every refund, every cash drawer open, every price change — is logged with who did it and when. If cash is short at daily close, you know exactly what happened.
Example: An owner notices the cash drawer is $40 short at daily close. He pulls up the audit trail and sees that a cashier voided a $38 transaction at 2:15 PM with no manager override. He can address it directly instead of guessing. The time clock shows the cashier was on shift from 10 AM to 6 PM — 8 hours logged automatically.
Pro plan (time clock & scheduling) | All plans (audit trail)
Advanced Analytics
Seven different chart types that turn your sales data into actionable decisions. Not just "how much did I sell" — but what to do about it.
Top Products Over Time
See which products are trending up or down week over week. Catch seasonal changes before they hurt your bottom line.
Dead Stock Detection
Automatically identifies products that haven't sold in 30/60/90 days. Shows how much cash you have tied up in inventory that isn't moving.
Profitability Heatmap
Visual grid showing which categories and products are making you the most money — not just revenue, but actual margin. See where your profit really comes from.
Hourly Sales Heatmap
See exactly when your store is busiest by day and hour. Use it to schedule staff, plan restocking, and decide store hours.
Reorder Forecast
Based on your actual sales velocity, the system predicts when each product will run out and suggests when to reorder. No more guesswork.
Coupon Effectiveness
See which promotions are driving sales and which are just giving away margin. ROI tracking on every coupon and discount.
PDF Reports
Generate professional PDF reports and email them on a schedule — daily, weekly, or monthly. Your accountant gets the numbers without you lifting a finger.
Example: The profitability heatmap shows that energy drinks have a 45% margin while tobacco has only 22%. The owner shifts prime shelf space from tobacco to energy drinks and adds a "2 for $6" promo. Revenue stays the same but profit increases by $180/month because the margin mix shifted.
