POS Systems: Basic Infomation On POS Equipments Before Purchasing

The basic POS systems you may see on restaurants and fast food chains are touch screen monitors, programmable keyboards, or scanners and handheld devices. Cash registers (with or without a built-in cash drawer), printers can be dot matrix or thermal, programmable keyboards can have covers for spill protection and scanners can be a CCD scanner or an autosending laser scanner.

Touch screens: With its flexible user interfaces and programming, many restaurants prefer to use touch screens. With this type of restaurant POS equipment, a staff can easily input orders and cancel an order within a second. It can also reduce mistypes and fasten ordering. Touch screens also uses fewer electricity and much easier to position on the counter table, but they are more prone to breakdowns.

Handheld devices: These are restaurant handheld devices like PDAs, commonly wireless, that transmits data back to its base station. You can use the newer version, which is the write-on handhelds that allows you to write detail such as the orders and directly sends the oder to the kitchen! These types of handheld devices are perfect for your staff who interacts with your customers, when up-selling desserts and drinks roaming around table per table.

Keyboards: Most grocery and convenient stores prefer to use this type of POS hardware because it allows them to program individual keys for specific item codes and prices. A standard keyboard consists of 101-key, like with any computer. Others are small and flat, which are common in fast food outlets. POS keyboards often has a built-in magnetic stripe readers for processing credit cards.

Scanners: A very useful piece of electronic device that reads bar codes, convert it and inputs its details to a POS system computer. This device speeds up transactions and provide accurate data on products or services being purchased by a customer. Scanners can be connected through Y-connectors called wedges that make them function as an extension of the keyboard.

Volume of customers: For different volume of customers, using different types of scanners can be very helpful. If the counter line has several customers, make your staff use a CCD scanner or entry-level laser scanner. But if your counter line is loaded with customers, then autosensing laser scanners would be the perfect choice. This type of scanner turns on when an item is placed in front of it, scans its code, and then turn off again. But if the counter line is overflowing with customers, you could sure use the help of an omnidirectional scanner, using its 15 or 20 lasers simultaneously, it scans a bar code from any angle!

Other Restaurant Hardware To Consider

POS Cash Drawers: Used to store cash, credit card slips, gift certificates and other important papers. When buying a cash drawer, look for a sturdy construction of at least 18-gauge steel, don’t just buy one because your local vendor tells you that it’s the best or simply because it looks fancy. Go for the most reliable cash drawer since the usable life of cash drawers are measured, you also have to make surer that you can replace rollers, bearings, and other parts. Most cash drawers opens only when a signal from the printer is released.

Point of Sale printers: An addition to your restaurant POS system is a receipt printer, every retail business needs one to complete a sales transaction. POS printers are used for printing customer receipts and creating credit card slips. The dot matrix printers, also known as impact printers, are inexpensive and uses ink ribbon to print on regular paper. While thermal printers use heat and special heat-sensitive paper to generate receipts. It is slightly expensive than a dot matrix printer because it prints receipts faster and more quieter. They are also more reliable because they have less moving parts.

Customer displays: Also called the pole display. This restaurant hardware lets your customer view their item and its price, and sometimes used to support advertising. When buying a customer display, make sure that you check for the right height and width, which will perfectly fit your counter table, and its compatibility with your POS software.

Check readers: Advisable for restaurants, fast food chains, hotels, casinos, and convenient stores. The check reader prevents fraud by verifying essential account information. By this, you are assure that every check in your cash drawer is authentic.

Magnetic stripe readers: This piece of restaurant hardware is used to read credit cards. Some keyboards and touch screens has a built-in magnetic strip readers for convenience.

Fingerprint readers: If you want to limit which POS terminal can a staff use, then this type of restaurant hardware can be handy. You can also use this for employee logins thus preventing any of your employees from logging in inplace of somebody.

Remember, when purchasing for POS systems, hardware or software, make sure to know the item first before heading to your local supplier. It doesn’t matter how much money you spend on your POS equipment, always consider the environment where you’re going to use it. Regular cleaning keeps your keyboards and touch screens in top shape, to extend the useable life of your receipt printer, vacuuming and lubing would be the way and maintaining an over all clean workstation can help protect your POS computers from dust and spills.
