POS (or just register?) Suggestions & Insight Needed

[chip]

We use Point of Success POS

We like it a lot. It's fairly inexpensive and works great. You can grow with it too. We've added some functions, scheduler, time clock, etc. and have a 5 user system with a kitchen printer too. They have a gift card program and support tips with credit cards through Mercury Payment Systems (whom we also like. I've really hated a few other credit card processors.

We use RetailICE. It was designed for retail/clothing stores but has worked well for us. They have gift/loyalty card and the cc processor is easy to use. Also the software is free for one system.

After a bunch or research I've decided to use a Samsung (Sam4S) ER-5200M cash register for around $500. 117 programmable keys. It has an available integrated card reader but it's rather expensive.

Restaurant Pro Express

Check out restaurant pro express made by PC America. I opened about 3 weeks ago and have loved this system. It was very inexpensive and customizable. You can buy an entire system at hcditrading.com; computer, touch screen or regular monitor, cc swipe, receipt printer... everything for a very good price. I would HIGHLY recommend before buying a regular cash register.

By the way, they have a free download at pcamerica.com, if you want to try before you buy. I think I paid a little over 2k for two terminals (including everything I needed) and tech support for 90 days.

I've been doing POS, large and small, for twenty year. To me the very best is Microsoft RMS, hands down. You can customize it and it is infinitely scalable. This is not an ad.

Hello Jerry,

You dug up a very old thread from 2007 -2008. The person who started the thread went out of business and is long gone from the Coffee Forum.

Yes, I was asleep at the wheel! (LOL).
