Five sample businesses — FL-1 wholesale, an FL-1 with its own retail counter, FL-2 retail with and without a bar, and FL-2 tourism — with stock, prices and a daily return you can build and download. Pick the one shaped like yours and sign in with the details on its card.
Every one of them signs in with the password demo1234.
The licence is what makes them different. It decides which return a business files, whether it may sell wholesale and whether it may pour a peg — so the shop you pick changes what the app does, not just the name at the top.
A wholesaler supplying licensed dealers, with a godown behind it.
The wholesale channel and the counterparty rules — who an FL-1 may invoice, and why it may not invoice an FL-2 in another region. Its licence also permits godowns, which no FL-2 licence does.

An FL-1 holder running its own retail counter as well.
Two statutory returns for one business day off ONE premises, because an FL-1 is one licence carrying two trading channels — it supplies other licensees and runs its own counter. Its licence lapses inside a month, so the dashboard is carrying the amber warning.

A single retail vend — the shape most licensees are.
The plain daily bottle-count return, and a licence that permits one premises and no godown. In Karaikal, so its licence number is formatted for that region.
A retail shop with a bar — space for its customers to drink.
The same FL-2 retail licence as Marina Wine Shop, with the serving permission rule 118 prices separately: space to drink, and food and drink alongside. It files FL2RETAILSALE in bottles like any other FL-2, because a bar is a permission on a retail licence and not a licence of its own. The widest non-liquor shelf of the five, so both tax paths appear side by side on one bill. Nobody has recorded a licence expiry here, which raises nothing at all — that is deliberate.
A hotel trading under the tourism-promotion licence.
The only premises on the platform that pours. It sells in millilitres and may not hand over a sealed bottle at all, so it is the one demo where the bar pad, the open-bottle draw and the ml consumption columns appear. Its licence has ALREADY EXPIRED, so every compliance surface is showing what that costs.
These businesses are shared, and everything done to them is wiped once a day — bills you ring, stock you receive, staff you add. If something looks odd, somebody else was here first; it will be back to normal tomorrow. Seaside Tourism Hotel’s licence has already expired and Anandha Wines’ lapses inside a month, on purpose, so you can see what the app does about each.
Counter staff do not sign in with an email — they use a staff code and a PIN at a terminal the shop has registered. To try it: sign in above, go to Settings → Counters and register this browser, then press Open counter at the foot of the menu and use staff code cashier with PIN 1234.
A demo cannot send email or messages to a phone, or pay for a plan, and the owner’s and manager’s sign-in details cannot be changed — they are printed on this page, so the next visitor would be locked out. Everything else works, including the counter, the excise returns and the Tally export.
