POS System Guide: What to Check Before Buying

Before buying a POS system: cashier speed, scales and barcodes, shifts, network outages, and register reports.

1

The cashier is more than a screen

The real metrics: invoices per minute, queue time, input errors. Ask to test a busy queue before anything else — speed is measured, not described.
💡 Tip: Always start with these fundamental steps before moving to other modules.
2

Scales and barcodes for supermarkets

Scale support and automatic weighed-item entry from the barcode are a requirement, not an option. One scan must record the sale and deduct stock in the same moment.
3

Shifts and the register

Every shift opens with a float and closes with a cash count; the gap between counted and recorded shows instantly. This single report is what stops register leakage.
4

What happens when the network drops?

Ask plainly: what happens to an open ticket when the connection fails? A good answer is written and well known; a vague answer is a warning worth heeding.
5

Reports you open every morning

Sales per cashier, top items, dead stock, profit per item. If you cannot open the dashboard yourself in the morning, the system is too heavy for you — try DBTech POS free for 30 days on your own items.
