Buying Guide

Every transaction brings the cash drawer into play. Both a tool of organization and of security, this piece of equipment should be so well matched to your work environment that it acts as an invisible partner in your work. The organization of the till inside the drawer should enhance quick, easy cash handling with minimal steps involved. The materials used, design of the drawer, and its accessibility should all add to a high level of security while still providing smooth, effortless operation. Longevity and resistance to tampering are related to the quality of the materials used. The interface between cash drawer and POS software ranges from manual entry to receipt printer driven entry. Locking functions also vary in accessibility from electronic to manual. Number and positioning of media slots are other options, allowing coupons and checks to be deposited without having to physically open the drawer. All features should work together to enhance accuracy, efficiency, and the ability to keep a clear focus on your customer while still performing cash handling activities.
