How do you choose a register for your business?
A handheld, a standard register or one wired to a scale? A short guide to picking the kind of register that fits your business.
Not every business needs the same register. The choice depends on the kind of business, the pace of work, and the equipment you need to connect. Here is the guide.
A mobile handheld
A compact hand-held device combining register and card processing. It suits:
- Mobile businesses, stalls and deliveries
- Restaurants that need to take orders at the table
- Anyone who wants something small, simple and inexpensive
A standard register (a till station)
A till station with a screen, a printer and a cash drawer. It suits:
- Shops with steady customer traffic
- Businesses that need several printers (kitchen, bar)
A register wired to a scale
For businesses that sell by weight — a greengrocer, a deli, a butcher. The register is wired to the scale and reads the quantity automatically.
Our tip
Our team would be glad to understand what you need and recommend exactly the right setup — Koopax runs on a till, on a computer and on a mobile handheld, and supports scales, scanners, printers and payment terminals.
