POS Lavu Register

No Electronic Payments Accepted

A cash-only POS system relies heavily on employees in order to function properly. Orders are hand-written and delivered to the kitchen where they are read by the cooks. Payments have to be cash, which can limit your customer base due to the steadily declining number of people who regularly carry cash.A system so heavily reliant on penmanship is not typically preferred by high-volume, high-revenue restaurants. Cash-register-only POS systems are most commonly found in small venues such as food trucks, coffee shops, and farmers markets. The greatest benefit to a cash register system is the cost of operating. Aside from the cost of the register, it’s free, and it’s hard to beat free.

And other forms of electronic payments

More common than cash registers, these systems are used in restaurants of all sizes that accept credit card payments. Credit card machines enable you to accept electronic payments such as credit and debit cards, and increasingly, near field communication (NFC) payments like Apple Pay and Google Wallet. However they are unable to provide inventory or sales reports. This system requires minimal hardware, consisting of a credit card terminal with a small screen, a number pad, a built-in credit card swiper, and sometimes a signature pad.Restaurants using this system are usually operating on hand-written tickets and rely on mental math or calculators for tabulating sales totals. These credit card terminals are fairly expensive and you must sign a contract with a credit card processing company. This means a percentage of each credit, debit, and NFC payment will be collected by the processing company.
