Today even simple cash registers can connect to a credit card terminal at very low prices. It used to be only the big companies could afford that. Well todays cash registers are so easy to use and low priced that you can't afford not to.
Why you should you chose a cash register over a POS system
You should really examine your needs before you pull the trigger on a POS system. There are instances where a POS system maybe a better fit but you would be surprised how many times a register would have worked and for a lot less money. Ask yourself are you really going to keep inventory? Be honest, are you really going to count, issue purchase orders, receive purchase orders, enter new cost etc? Yes, many business do that but most mom and pop places don't. If that is the case a cash register might be a better fit. Also think about the traps of a POS system to make sure you know the real cost. Most modern POS systems are sold by subscription, you can't buy it. Most POS systems require you to process with a specific credit card company. So let's add that up so you know what you are getting into. Let's look at the Clover POS system that is really popular. Right now Clover for a counter service restaurant has a subscription fee of $59.00 a month (that is software only). So assume a good life of a POS system is 7 years you would have paid $4956.00 for the software subscription alone and you own nothing. Now how about the credit card fees, with Clover you must process with Fiserv so you are eliminating all the other vendors that you could bargain with. Those are just a few examples of why you might want a cash register over a POS. Give us a call today at 800-863-2274 or click here to find a good cash register.
