I figure I can get something reasonable where a mobile device enters inventory
as it comes in. Then I would expect the bar code reader / cash system to track
product as it leaves the store. I'm just trying to get educated at this point.

The features you're asking are way beyond "convenience store".
- How do you enter items in the first place?
- What payments do you accept, and how how you process POS transaction?
- I assume you already have barcode reader, barcode printer, receipt
printer, etc. If not, which one do you buy?
- it's messy...
May I suggest dedicated Sharp/Cannon "cash register" from Staples,
Office Depot, Grand & Toys, etc.
