Supermarket Billing System — Project DescriptionThe Supermarket Billing System is a C++-based console application designed to streamline daily retail operations for small and medium-sized supermarkets. It automates the entire billing process, manages inventory, applies relevant GST and discounts, and secures sensitive functionalities with admin authentication.Key FeaturesAutomated Billing: Generates itemized bills for customers, applying GST and discounts automatically to ensure accurate transaction totals.Inventory Management: Maintains product details including stock levels, enabling the admin to add, update, delete, or display product records.
