Tablet POS systems

We are now installing the Tabby from SAM4s which is a Tablet POS system that is very unique. What is so special about this POS system you may ask? Well the first big difference is that it is not cloud based. That is right with the Tabby you do not need to be on the internet unless you want to of course. It is self contained which is more secure, plus if the internet goes down you keep going. Probably like me you have been to a business and tried to buy something and they were unable to process a transaction because of the internet connection. Don't let that happen to you, use the SAM4s Tabby instead of a cloud based systems because just like real clouds they are going to be blown
away.

What is a Z counter on a cash register?

When you use a cash register in your business it has tools built into it to keep your money secure, many people don't know this. The cash register was invented to stop pilfering from happening by a bar owner in Ohio who suspected he was being stolen from by employees.

A couple simple and overlooked tools a cash register provides for support are as follows: The Non-Resettable Grand Totals and the Z counters. These are both very much like an odometer in a car. They simple count how much was ever sold through this cash register and how many Z reports have been taken. Why are these items important you might ask? That is an excellent question.

First you must have a strict rule that receipts must be given for a sale, the cash drawer should be closed in order to make a sale, and remove the no sale key feature from the register. All of this make it much more difficult for a cashier to fake ringing up a sale and pocketing the money. If you make it easier for a cashier to help themselves to money chances are those tempted are going to.

After you have made it more difficult to fake ringing up a sale pay attention to the Z counter on your end of day Z reports. They should only count by 1 for each Z taken. For an example lets say the z counter has been counting by two instead of one. This is an indication that the register has been Z'd out without your knowledge and you never received the report. OK so you may be thinking yah so what just more paperwork for me and my employees would never steal right, they are like family. Well a Z counter counting by two means that they are running part of their shift, Z'ing out the register and keeping all of the money. Then they operate like normal for the rest of the day.

I have seen this happen dozens of times with my own eyes while helping clients figure out where their money has been going, why their sales have been dropping etc.

If you are lucky enough to stay in the retail or restaurant business long enough it is not a matter of if but rather when you are stolen from.

Tablet POS in Seattle

Tablet POS systems are all the rage right now, however most software companies want you to buy a subscription and maybe even use one credit card provider that pays them a commission. The Tabby from SAM4s is just the opposite in many ways; you can buy Tabby out right, it is hosted locally not cloud based and you can use any merchant services that you want.

If you look at some popular Tablet systems charging a subscription of $79.00 a month that sounds pretty good right? But after 36 months you would have paid $2844.00 and with Tabby you would have paid about $1500.00 so roughly half of a monthly cloud based POS system. Even worse is if you are tied to a specific merchant services. Lets say the merchant services is charging you an extra 0.50% on your discount fees and you process 25K a month that would be an extra $125.00 a month you would be paying in excess merchant services fees or $1500.00 per year plus the subscription fee. It really pays to shop around for your Tablet POS system.
