Cash Registers

Retailers depend on cash registers, also known as tills, to assist them with the management of their finances and to improve how their customers perceive their shopping experience. They allow retailers to keep track of their daily income and distribute change, and aid them in the process of managing their retail operations.

Traditionally, a cash register has a keyboard that can be used to manually input products and fees into it but it can also be equipped with product presets, making it an efficient way of serving the customers or offering a receipt.

Today’s machines are usually integrated into POS or ePOS systems (electronic Point of Sale). Integrated POS systems can provide an array of additional functions that can improve a business’ efficiency.

You can also have a cash register with scanner that can enable a faster checkout process and be integrated into an mPOS system.

Tools such as credit card processing systems, customer loyalty programs, and reporting systems all serve to aid retailers in improving the products and services that they offer. Every type of cash register comes with removable cash drawers, memory back-up protection, and some cash register models also have a possibility of an automatic tax computation.

Having numerous features that you can choose from, the choice of a cash register might be overwhelming. Get help with your decision and receive up to 4 quotes free of charge and with no obligations by filling in the form above.

A wide range of cash tills is on the market to meet your various business needs. Some are made for specific industries such as fast food, hospitality or retail. We have categorised the best cash registers that we found by ther price level these are the four we’ve looked at.

The initial costs of purchasing a cash till differs greatly from model to model, as the price depends substantially on the capabilities of each cash register and the quality or type of the device you are looking for.

The initial costs of a basic cash register model may be around £500 and will include a built-in pole to display prices as the customer waits for his purchase, and a locking cash drawer.

More sophisticated models are usually a part of a computerised point of sales system and can cost up to £11,000 depending on the level of sophistication. One reason for the high initial costs involved in purchasing various cash register systems is that the average life expectancy of a system is around ten to fifteen years, and with an upgrade, you can extend that by another five to seven years.
