What is the difference between a cash register and a POS system?

/ Credit Card, Inventory Control, Pizza | Pizzeria POS, Point of Sale / By Sintel System

What is the difference between a cash register and a POS system?
Everyone always wants to be a super hero growing up. Batman, Superman, Spiderman, it didn’t matter as long as you were fighting crime and had awesome powers. Comparatively, nobody wanted to play the banker. A cash register is like that poor banker character, while a POS is the super hero.
The first cash register was invented after the American Civil War by James Ritty and was patented in 1883. It was nothing but a simple adding machine. Over a century later and little has changed. While a POS system also makes sales transactions, do not even begin to compare a POS to an ordinary cash register.

A cash register cannot:

  1. Track inventory
  2. Maintain customer histories
  3. Manage employee time keeping
  4. Schedule appointments
  5. Integrate credit card processing or merchant accounts

A POS has the ability to do all those things and more. A POS acts as a controlling force, or nerve center, helping keep businesses running smoothly and efficiently. A cash register is one size fits all. Each POS system comes equipped with the key features that are the most important for a specific type of business.
A POS system can be tailored to your needs. Sintel Systems offer POS systems for a wide variety of industries, such as retail locations, salons and spas. They even have a POS programmed specifically for the unique needs of Pizzerias. It is the best and most cost effective Pizza POS nationwide.
