Looking for a Cash Register?
If you are shopping for a cash register, it is worth taking a look at a simple POS system first. A modern POS does everything a register does, like ringing up sales, holding your cash, and printing receipts, but it also takes cards, tracks what you sell, and shows you your numbers from your phone.
For a lot of small businesses, a basic POS costs about the same as a decent register. We help Houston shop owners find a simple setup that is easy to learn and does not come with a bunch of features they will never use.
Cash Register vs. POS System
| Cash Register | Simple POS | |
|---|---|---|
| Ring up sales and take cash | Yes | Yes |
| Take cards, tap, and mobile wallets | Usually needs a separate terminal | Built in |
| Track inventory | No | Yes |
| Sales reports | Basic paper tape | Daily reports on your phone |
| Know your best sellers | No | Yes |
| Works with a cash drawer | Yes | Yes |
Who It Is For
A simple POS is a good fit for small shops, convenience stores, food stands, farmers market vendors, and anyone still running on an old register.
Need more than the basics? See our retail POS systems, restaurant POS systems, or POS systems for service businesses.

Common Questions
Do you still sell traditional cash registers?
We focus on simple POS systems now. For most small businesses, a basic POS costs about the same as a decent register and does a lot more, so that is where we point people. If you just need something simple, we will keep it simple.
Is a POS system harder to use than a cash register?
Not really. If you can use a smartphone, you can use a modern POS. Most people are ringing up sales within a few minutes, and your staff can learn it in an afternoon.
Will it still work if my internet goes down?
Many systems, including Square and Clover, have an offline mode that lets you keep taking payments for a while if the internet drops. Ask us about it if your connection is spotty.
Can I still use a cash drawer?
Yes. A POS works with a regular cash drawer that pops open when you finish a cash sale, just like a register.
How much does a simple POS cost?
Less than most people expect. Some systems have a free software plan, and the hardware can be as small as a card reader and a tablet. We go over the full cost before you sign anything. The easiest way to find out is to get a free quote.
