This page is for shop and restaurant owners who want a free offline POS software download for PC billing instead of a cloud-only register. Timeline Digital gives you one installer for retail and service counters and another for restaurants, cafes and takeaway kitchens.
A PC-based POS keeps the counter selling when the internet drops, keeps every sale on the machine you already own, and lets you test a local setup before you invest in branch sync, an owner app or cloud backup.
Cloud POS is useful, but a small shop or restaurant counter often needs a PC-based system that keeps basic billing moving even when internet quality is poor.
Internet outages block cloud-only billing right when the counter is busiest.
Paper receipts make it hard to reconstruct what happened during a cashier shift.
Stock sheets fall behind the moment items are sold, returned or adjusted at the counter.
Many one-counter businesses want to own their setup before they pay recurring fees.
Most shops already have a Windows PC sitting next to the receipt printer.
Owners want closing totals from the same machine that ran the day’s sales.
Download the PC installer now, then talk to us about backups, devices and branch features when the basic flow needs to grow.
The focus here is counter work: quick billing, local product records, receipt printing and closing reports from a Windows machine.
Ring up sales from the counter PC even when the shop internet is slow or down.
Item names, categories and prices sit on screen instead of on a paper list.
Basic stock tracking shows what is moving through the counter each day.
Save regular customer details and purchase history for fast lookup on repeat visits.
Print receipts straight from the PC, or ask us to build a custom receipt layout.
Check sales totals after a shift or day. No receipt books required.
Records start on the PC. Add manual, cloud or network backup when you are ready.
Runs on the Windows laptop or desktop already sitting at your billing desk.
We map barcode scanner, cash drawer and receipt printer needs before customization starts.
Add users, permissions, reports, branch sync or cloud access as the shop grows.
These businesses usually need one dependable billing computer before they need a full custom POS, ERP or multi-branch system.
Both installers are linked directly below. Pick the one that matches the counter workflow you run every day.

The exact path depends on your Windows permissions, printer setup and business data, but most counters follow this basic sequence.
Pick Timeline POS for a shop counter, or Timeline Restaurants POS for food ordering and restaurant billing.
Run the installer on the desktop or laptop used at the billing desk and follow the Windows setup prompts.
Enter your shop or restaurant name, receipt details and any available billing settings before live use.
Load products, services or menu items with prices so the cashier can create bills from the POS screen.
