I haven't written the device for a long time. Let's talk about the cash register today.
Cash registers are widely used in supermarkets, convenience stores, clothing stores, catering stores and other physical stores. In addition to the convenience of ordering and improving efficiency, the cash register is also a database with data analysis, front and back connection, O2O docking, and support for multiple functions. Such functions can be said to be an indispensable device for modern businesses.
Cash register classification
The cash register is divided into one, two and three types of cash registers.
One type of cash register: less classified departments, generally less than 10, less than 350 single item management, less settlement method; smaller data storage area, data needs to be cleared regularly; can not be connected to the network, can only be used in a single machine; The amount table, cashier business table, department sales table, and PLU sales table are relatively low in price and suitable for simple small businesses.
The second type of cash register: the number of departments is more than 20, the number of PLUs is more than 300, there are more than four settlement methods, more than four kinds of report functions, the data is temporarily stored and then called out, which can also be called open talk It can communicate with computer communication and has an interface for the attached equipment of the cash register.
Three types of cash registers: POS machines, consisting of 486 or more computer mainframes, 9-inch monitors, cash boxes, high-speed printers, standard keyboards, etc., with standard computer interfaces. The three types of cash register, also known as the PC-base cash register, is a new generation of electronic cash register based on PC. It adds information processing capability based on the function of information collection of the second type of cash register.
operating system
From the structural point of view, the POS cash register is essentially a PC plus other peripheral devices. The PC of the cash register is called a host. The internal configuration is the same as that of a normal PC. The CPU, hard disk, motherboard, and memory cannot be the same. Less, of course, the operating system that the PC depends on.
The common operating systems for POS cash registers are DOS+UCDOS/Windows CE/Windows 98/Windows 2000/Windows XP/Windows 7, UNIX/LINUX, and now Android.
As a representative of the high-end cash register brand, IBM has its own operating system and is not compatible with other systems.
The above mentioned operating systems, DOS+UCDOS are only available on older machines, and the machines that are now produced are no longer visible. The current cash register is mainly based on Windows XP system. Windows XP is the most widely used operating system. Although Microsoft officially provides technical support to it, the Chinese still rely on it. According to statistics, there are still more than 60%. The personal PC of the Chinese is still using Windows XP. Because this number of users is still huge, the domestic 360 company has obtained Microsoft's authorization and technical support, and provides technical services to users who are still using Windows XP. Therefore, Windows XP system can still be used with confidence.
However, from a development perspective, Windows XP is finally going to be eliminated. Therefore, many mainstream cash register brands have adopted the latest Windows operating system, such as Windows 7 has been applied more. The Nagasaki cash register uses an open source Android system that works better with mobile phones.
The UNIX/LINUX system is an open source program. According to this, there are not many commercial software developed, so using UNIX/LINUX is not as convenient as Windows, and the compatibility is not as good as Windows.
Generally speaking, if you are not assembling the cash register yourself, you don't have to worry about the installation of the operating system. Whether it is to buy a brand cash register or an assembled cash register, the merchant will install the operating system and cash register software, and will also install some common office software and entertainment software. Users only need to learn the switch method and the cash register software operation method. .
How to measure the performance of a cash register
When buying a cash register, the merchants will be very sloppy, but most of them are not informative. Generally, it is necessary to measure the three cash registers of a cash register: the smoothness of the operation is not high? Is the quality of peripheral equipment good? What is the quality of the software?
The electronic host of the cash register is actually a micro computer. Although it does not require high configuration of the computer system, the configuration and fluency of the host is an important criterion for measuring the quality of the cash register.
The peripherals of a cash register include a keyboard, a cash box, a WeChat printer, an infrared scanner, etc. These devices are used frequently, so pay special attention to this when selecting.
The quality of cash register software is reflected in two aspects: one is the degree of matching in the industry, different industries have different requirements for cash registers, good software matching is high, and practical is more convenient; on the other hand, it is to see the intelligence degree of software, intelligence The high degree of use is simple to use and improve work efficiency.
Cash register brand
There are a range of imported machines and domestically produced machines. The price of imported machines is expensive, and the price of domestically produced machines is more affordable. In terms of practical functions, domestically produced machines have made rapid progress in these years. For ordinary supermarkets, specialty stores, and catering industries, domestically produced machines have higher cost performance.
At present, the international brand cash registers in the domestic market mainly include IBM, NCR, Fujitsu, etc.; as well as domestic brands such as Nakasaki, Yijietong, Sangda, Hisense, Aibo, etc., as well as Taiwanese brand partners, Feifei and Bao Lee et al.
What kind of cash register should the tea shop use?
For a tea shop that just started, especially if the store is small, the boss manages it, or hires a cashier, use a type of cash register (understand the classification of the cash register), usually spend about a thousand or so. Can be bought, the matching scanner, printer, cash box is almost the same. The general cash register functions are available, and there are many similar cash register brands, and there is a lot of room for choice.
If you require a higher configuration, the operation requirements are faster and more intuitive, you can consider the touch type, just like playing a mobile phone, there is a more intuitive experience, the price is slightly more than the keyboard type, generally about two or three thousand can take Come down.
If you need strong functions such as store opening promotion, membership chain, point payment, and stored-value card payment, you need Class 2 and Class 3 cash registers, and generally configure a professional chain management system.
