POS built for Hawaii convenience, grocery and liquor stores

Hawaii has no sales tax; the General Excise Tax is charged on the business at 4%, rising to 4.5% where a county 0.5% surcharge applies, which is true in all four counties for now. GET is legally the seller's liability, not the buyer's, but the law lets you pass on a slightly higher rate to the customer to cover the tax-on-tax effect, up to about 4.712% where the county surcharge applies and 4.166% where it does not. Storeveu's per-department tax rules carry the correct GET and pass-on rate for each store, inherited at state level with a per-store override for the county your location sits in.

The HI-5 law puts a 5 cent refundable deposit on most beer, soda, water and other non-alcoholic drinks in containers up to 2 liters, in glass, plastic, aluminium or bi-metal. Milk, wine and straight spirits are excluded. The law's default is that a dealer runs its own in-store redemption point, and a store is only excused from that if it qualifies for one of a short list of exemptions: a small footprint under 5,000 square feet, a rural location, a subcontract with a certified redemption center, vending-machine-only sales, or sitting within 2 miles of an independently-run certified center in a high-density area. Storeveu tracks the 5 cent charge as its own non-taxable line the moment it's collected, and the Bottle Redemption screen is there to count containers and total the refund for the stores that do take returns.

Hawaii is one of the small number of states with no state lottery, so there are no lottery books, settlements or commission reports to configure at all. What does hit the register instead is that Hawaii taxes groceries in full: unprepared food carries the same GET as everything else, with no point-of-sale exemption, since relief for qualifying households runs through an income tax credit, not the till. Storeveu's per-department tax rules ring grocery items as taxable by default in Hawaii, rather than assuming the exemption most other states apply.

There's no single state liquor authority: each of Hawaii's four counties, Honolulu, Hawaii, Maui and Kauai, runs its own Liquor Commission and sets its own rules. A convenience or grocery store sells beer, wine and spirits off-premise under a Class 4 Retail Dealer licence in sealed original containers only, with hours that run roughly 6am to 11pm outside Honolulu County and 6am to midnight inside it, though each county sets its own exact schedule. The purchase age is 21 for alcohol and 21 for tobacco and vapor products, a standard Hawaii adopted in 2016 before most of the country followed. Storeveu prompts for date of birth at the register on every age-restricted sale, so the check happens the same way regardless of which county's hours or rules apply.
