Cash Drawers

Do People Still Use Cash Drawers?



POS technology changes quickly, but the 1 POS hardware element which has remained constant is a metal box used to securely save money. Regardless of the motion to a cashless consumer market, cash drawers continue to be a crucial part of a point of sale system. A cash drawer has different compartments for coins and bills of unique values, which enables cashiers to rapidly and accurately count consumer change without shuffling through bills and coins. Cash drawers take the brunt of normal wear and tear, so it is common to need replacement parts such as tills, mounting brackets, and spare keys.

How can cash drawers pop open?

Interestingly enough, a cable from the receipt printer to the cash drawer prompts the device to start when a cash transaction is finished. The cable looks like a telephone line, and it is unique to the brand of printer. If a client's cash drawer will not open, 99 percent of the time it's because the drawer is not on the receipt printer.

Are cash drawers exactly the same?

Pretty much, yes. Cash drawers offer various dimensions. Some are constructed with reinforced metal and others can be mounted, but they are essentially all the same.

What about money drawer counts? Or a particular cash drawer to get a clerk or waitress?

Properly setting up your cash drawers to flow with your business processes can increase productivity. By way of instance, some businesses perform money counts at the end of a change, even when company is still serving clients. To prevent downtime when counting the drawer, many clients employ a two-till system where they just swap tills (the plastic insert that holds the money and coins) and keep the register open.

Another frequent request we have is for every clerk or staff member to keep a separate cash drawer to ensure a money count discrepancy is readily connected with the appropriate clerk. This is a rather simple installation that only requires two cash drawers.
