Many marketplaces, cafes and restaurants have moved or are moving massively to online trade and delivery of goods to the customer. It is understandable – in a situation of self-isolation, everyone still wants to eat, drink and buy useful things for the household. A client is often going to pay for his purchases by card, and the state wants to control how much he has paid to whom and how much taxes are being paid to the state from these purchases. Federal Law № 54 regulates such purchases: every outlet, with few exceptions, must have fiscal control equipment connected to the fiscal data operator processing system (FDO).
There is a second way of solving the problems of queues at the cash register – the installation of self-service cash registers with a fixed fee and extensive features. This is exactly the kind of cash register our company offers.
What self-service cash registers for supermarkets can do?
Self-service cash registers can automatically, without staff involvement:
create and accept the customer’s order;
accept cash (with equipment for accepting banknotes), bank cards, electronic money;
transfer the order to the pick-up point to generate a fiscal check and send it to the OFD;
display the amount of goods in stock in your warehouse online;
offer the customer related products and services;
to collect and process data about your customers, and save it in a database for further work. Collecting this personal information will make the realisation of advertising campaigns faster and more effective.
For convenience, it is possible to buy and install not only a full-fledged self-service cash register, but also a touchscreen information kiosk with a display and keypad. Such a kiosk does not accept payments, but only provides information, allows users to find the goods they need, pack and place an order, calculate the cost and pay it at the point of pick-up.
What is needed to set up a cash register in a self-service shop
If you decide to expand the customer opportunities in your shop and use modern technology on the market by installing a cash register terminal, simply call our company or make an application on our website. Our staff will ask you a number of questions to clarify exactly what features and functions you need and calculate your individual tariff for the use of the service.
Of course, for the system implementation and reaching a new level of service it will require additional technical equipment and costs for materials and equipment that is necessary to print the labels required for marking of goods. You will have to buy printers and ribbons for them, install additional payment terminals for cashless payment at each cash register, and a portable data terminal that will read the codes on the goods.
Cash register with a terminal – it is convenient because it can successfully solve the tasks of serving people both in large retail chains and in small business that operate in the retail sector.
When we select the equipment for our customers we choose only those recorders, machines and equipment that have been made by well-known manufacturers in our country.
You should keep in mind that developing and implementing a similar stand-alone system by yourself will not cost less, but the implementation processes will take more time and the bill for such development will be higher. In addition, if a company without any experience produces such a product, it may miss important parts in functionality, both on the side of the business owner and on the side of the user, i.e. the customer. It is important for them to be able to make an order simply by pressing buttons, put the product in a bag and pay for it honestly, instead of asking the shop staff to help them all the time.
More recently, the price of our services, taking into account the one-time cost of buying necessary equipment, became affordable even for the small business. As a result of these relatively small costs, you will be able to save money on service staff soon which means you will make a large profit.
After conclusion of a contract the equipment will be installed, connected to the online service system and included in your existing automation and fiscal registration system.
