MarketVendor vs a Cash Box and Notebook
Running a market stall from a cash box and a notebook works until it is busy and you lose track. MarketVendor keeps a running tally of sales and profit so you know how the day is going at a glance.

Where MarketVendor wins
The app totals sales and profit as you go, so a busy market day does not end in a confusing pile of notes. A notebook works but is slow and error-prone when it gets busy.
When a Cash Box and Notebook still makes sense
A notebook is fine for a tiny, occasional stall. Once volume picks up, the app's live totals and saved records save time and mistakes.

FAQ
Is a vendor app better than a notebook for market sales?

Does it calculate profit per item?
Yes. It works out profit so you are not doing mental math at the stall.
Are records saved for later?
Yes. End-of-day records are saved so you can review over time.
Is it good for a small stall?
Yes, and it scales as volume grows where a notebook gets unwieldy.
