Among the many decisions you will have to make for your business, choosing the right cash register is fairly high on the list. If you choose the wrong one, your business can suffer. With today’s advancing technology, the smart business owner has many types of cash registers to choose from. First, let’s define what a cash register is. A cash register is an electronic or mechanical apparatus that is used for the transaction of sales. Cash registers have a drawer for cash and also print a receipt. Businesses have been using cash registers since 1879, when the first one was invented by James Ritty. Cash registers have come a long way since then.

Today, there is everything from a simple cash register to much more complex systems. Some cash registers today are tied into an inventory system. These allow business owners to keep track of not only their sales, but their inventory as well. There are complex cash registers that tie into a business’ accounting systems. Most of these complex systems are tied to computer programs that are custom designed for each unique business owner. Most businesses fall somewhere between needing a simple cash register and a complex cash register.

It’s important to:

* Determine your business needs

* Research types of cash registers

* Compare prices of cash registers

Once you have laid the ground work for what type of cash register you need for your business, it’s time to compare brands and prices. Office supply stores are a good place to start when comparing prices and features. The internet is another place to compare as well. You can also check out cash registers at similar businesses to your own. Ask the owners of similar businesses how they like their cash registers and where they bought them. Ask if there is anything they would change about them.

Chamber of commerce meetings are also good places to find out what other cash registers owners are using. If you follow these few easy steps, you will be well on your way to finding the perfect cash register for your business.
