Frequently Asked Questions about cash registers
What should I look for when buying a cash register?
If more than one person is going to work on the machine then security is a important factor as this will ensure that certain functions can be prohibited such as Refunds, discounts, performing Z readings etc..
Ensure the machine you purchase is suited for the environment, in other words if it is a restaurant then purchase a restaurant machine. This will ensure that functions such table tracking, split bills, table transfers are available for use.
If you have a retail outlet then check if the machine can have a scanner attached as this will speed up sales especially if you have a busy shop
Can a cash register do what a PC point of sale can do?
It all depends on what your requirements are but in the majority of cases Yes. Cash registers also have a distinct advantage in that they are stable, fast and robust, and it has a much lower cost of ownership thank PC based systems. A cash register has a life span of at least 7 years.
This means that in the 7 years that you have had the cash register you would have saved a considerable amount of money in call out and labour fees as well as not having lost money while the POS system is down due to a crash.
