I own a pet store (I use Paygo POS) and work at a successful SaaS company and I don't think a web app is suitable for building a POS system. The main benefit of web apps over desktop software is fast updates but a POS system really should not be updated that rapidly. There is going to be a problem with hardware integration even if everything is USB. My POS system connects to a receipt printer, credit card swipe, barcode scanner and label printer. Are you able to do this via a web app? Even with Google Gears (which is apparently being phased out, by the way), web apps do not work that well off-line. But the biggest problem is that you will be competing with desktop apps which will perform much better in a variety of ways. Your system looks very nice but looks like it is missing quite a bit of basic functionality.
