Overview

Cheqout is a mobile POS for brick & mortar businesses that allows waiters and retail workers to take or accept orders & payments. You can think of it as a hybrid of the Apple Store and WeChat Pay, with both staff and customers using their own devices to facilitate the transaction through QR codes.
