Great cash registers for coffee stands


SAM4s cash registers are the best cash registers for coffee shops and espresso stands for many different reasons. They have many models to select from, they have many options like credit card and gift card interfaces.

One of the most compelling reasons to buy a cash register over a POS system is the total cost of ownership. Why buy a tablet POS system that you have to pay a monthly fee for or be locked into an expensive merchant services account when you can buy a high end durable cash register that will last for years. I think a good life span for a cash register is 5 to 7 years and often much longer. That give you a great return on investment.

The Sharp ER-A520 cash register is no longer available. As you may know Sharp is getting out of the commercial cash register business in the USA. If you are looking for a cash register like the ER-A520 I recommend the SAM4s ER-945 register pictured above with the optional expanded keyboard.

The ER-945 has a receipt and journal printer, 21 buttons, 5 bill 5 coin cash drawer with media slots, optional credit card interface, optional gift card interface, optional bar code scanner and much more.

SAM4s cash registers have the features and prices you are looking for


With the Sharp line of cash registers in decline the SAM4s company continues to dominate the cash register industry. In my opinion this is a great things because SAM4s has been coming out with great features at reasonable prices for some time now.

They have a register for every type of business. Rather you have a food service business or a retail establishment there is a SAM4s cash register for you.

The SAM4s SPS-530F is one of the best restaurant cash register on the market with a 7" color touch screen partnered with a traditional flat keyboard. This register can handle all types of restaurants from table service to counter service, casual dining. sports bars and more.

While the SAM4s 530R is one of the most popular cash registers for retail because it can handle 60K UPC's and features optional barcode scanning, PC interface and much more.

Both of these two machines can also use the Datacap TwinTran which interfaces cash registers and credit card transactions.

If your cash register is stuck in an error don't do the following

So the first thing people do when their cash register is stuck min an error or unknown state is unplug it. Please don't unplug your cash register unless a technician who knows that register has instructed you to. You can make the problem worse when you unplug the machine.

Cash registers all have a rechargeable battery in them. The battery is only used when you lose power. If you have an older register your battery may be dead and you don't even know it. If you unplug your register with a dead battery you will have just made the problem so much worse.

If your register is stuck no amount of unplugging it will help. If the battery is good you can leave it unplugged for hours or days and when you plug it back in you will be right where you where when you unplugged it!

If you need help trouble shooting a SAM4s or commercial grade Sharp cash register we do help for a fee, if you bought the register from us we can help for no cost. Call us at 1-800-863-2274
