In most cases, when paying for purchased goods, works or services, the seller is obliged to issue the buyer a receipt. The only exceptions are those situations when an entrepreneur carries out certain types of activities that do not require the use of a cash register by law (sale of newspapers and magazines, trade from open counters, etc.). How to choose the right cash register for the job?
Instructions
Step 1
Be sure to make sure that the device you choose is included in the state register and has a secure control tape. The indicator of the presence of the tape is the letter "K" in the name of the cash register.
Step 2
To work in large stores with a significant flow of customers, you will need a so-called active system cash register or fiscal registrar. Such devices have a wide range of operations; often they can only work in conjunction with a computer.
Step 3
If you have a small retail outlet, choose a stand-alone or passive checkout machine. They are more affordable, have significantly smaller dimensions and are extremely easy to use.
Step 4
There are individual situations that determine the targeted selection of a specific type of apparatus. For example, if you carry out courier delivery of correspondence or have an online store with delivery of goods around the city, purchase a small portable device. The most popular stand-alone models weigh no more than 1 kg, but their disadvantages include a hard keyboard and the inability to cancel a check punched by mistake.
Step 5
When choosing a cash register, consider the place where it will be used. The dimensions of the machine must correspond to the dimensions of the cashier's workplace in terms of weight and dimensions. If a point of sale may have problems with connecting to the electrical network or voltage fluctuations are possible, it is advisable to choose a stand-alone device with a built-in power supply. For traveling trade from cars, you can pick up a cash register powered by a car battery.
Step 6
Pay attention to whether the device you like allows you to connect peripheral devices. The ability to connect a barcode scanner, electronic scales and a device for reading electronic cards to the cash register allows you to shorten the time of customer service and make the work of the trade enterprise more comfortable. Such options will be needed to serve a large flow of customers.
