Cash Register

Make easy your payment system

Kommentare: It helps us about payment system, now it is like automated to accounting area.

Vorteile:

We can sincronize with WooCommerce where is the platform we sell our products, it makes our system not complex.

Nachteile:

For now it is not available to mobile version. Sometimes it becomes slow, maybe some system (Cash Register or ecommerce platform) is busy or there are a lot of people using the system at same time.

DHPOS: Great software, learn with practice

Vorteile:

- I like how it uses little ram, plus you can use it on almost any machine - I like the retro look of the website/program - Very fast load time - Customer service was exceptional - FREE! - A few other things

Nachteile:

- Takes practice to learn (need to remember keys) - Not open source (BUT some components have source code if you ask)

Good enough for basic cash register and inventory management

Kommentare: Cash collection from customers/ patients makes easy and that too with transparency. No chance for employee/assistant to steal few cash because every entry is accounted. Inventory stock management of items needs more improvements.

Vorteile:

Easy to use. New Assistant get used to this software within 2 days to input data of collected cash and inventory stock management.

Nachteile:

Very less feature compare to other software but so is the price. May be developer needs to add more feature and start selling those extra features at premium rate.

Great POS Software and It's FREE!!

Kommentare: Overall it's a great experience. Needed a POS system to meet tax department requirement in my country and this solve that problem at little to no cost to my business. Great software we love it.

Vorteile:

I like that the software didn't cost me more than a donation, which I believe should be done by everyone to help this developer improve the software. I like that with my technological knowledge the software was fairly easy to install and set up. It gives you great, in software, direction and information to make setup easy by simply following the direct and clear instructions given. Despite it being free I like that you can connect your cash register, barcode reader, and your pole display to the software. Of course you can connect your receipt printer a well with ease. It has all the needed features to run a successful business such as inventory for retail store and because of this there's no real need to go buy an expensive POS system which will do the same job as this one which is FREE. They say "free isn't always good", however this POS software is the complete opposite of that well known statement. It's not only good it's great and get the needed job done. On top of all this I like the customer service received it was fast, clear, and helpful. Something many wouldn't expect to get from a free software. Hats off to the owner of this product for being so dedicated.

Nachteile:

What I don't like and would like to see change even though it's not a big issue would be to have the capability to use the mouse to select the options instead of using just the keyboard. I would also like if the interface can be upgraded a little and look a little more user friendly or pretty in other words. However those are minor things and doesn't really should matter long as it gets the job done.

Simple, Flexible & Powerful. It's all you need, and then some.

Vorteile:

I've run my own business in the same location for 36 years. I've tried lots of software over the years. Like anything else that's new, it takes a while to become familiar with Cash Register. But once you learn it, you realize how simple and yet how powerful it actually is. It has much more capability than I'll ever need. I happened to find it while looking for a replacement for my Casio cash register that failed after many years of use. However, the Casio's cash drawer was still in great shape and I discovered that I could use it with the Cash Register software. I used an old power supply and configured CR for my receipt printer, which could also kick out the cash drawer when the transaction was done! Since I began business with DOS, I really liked that CR runs in a DOS-like environment. It runs perfectly in Windows 7. It has never crashed on me. Inventory, like everything else in CR, is easy to add and edit. You certainly can't buy anything better for the price! LOL I'm so thankful for Cash Register. Be sure to visit Dale's Cash Register Facebook page.

Nachteile:

I've been using it for about 10 years now, and I can't think of a thing I would change about it.

Cash Register Review

Kommentare: Overall, I am happy with the Cash Register software. Even if it is free, it can rival other software that charges a fee for its use. It has functionalities that other expensive software offers. It can basically run any business whether it is heavy on inventories or services. It is configurable by the user himself. It is user-friendly and easy to set-up. It can monitor sales (per hour, per day, per item, etc.), track and update inventories and even customers if the business requires, and set up user limits. We have used it before in a computer rental business. We are using it now for our milk tea business. It can be a useful tool in any business, I think.

Vorteile:

-It allows the user to configure the POS system according to the needs of the business without having to rely on a programmer or on tech support. That means less downtime for the business because the business owner does not need to schedule a programmer to do the setting up of the POS system. -Any user who can read and understand basic instructions can actually set it up. The features of each function has explanations on what it is for (on the same screen), how the settings affect the user, and how to configure each function. The user can make the system as simple or as robust as he wants it to be. The most basic step is just to input the items and the prices and you can already have a working POS system. -I do not encounter runtime errors which perhaps is due to the fact that it is DOS-based unlike if the software runs on some other programming languages. -It could be configured in one computer and then installed on another by just copying and pasting the whole POS folder in a USB or via a network. -It has some good features such as the ff: a. You can set it up to compute for discounts for specific people (e.g. senior citizens) or during promotional sales. b. You can maintain, add, and monitor inventories. c. You can set up access levels through the setting up of passwords for different functionalities. d. It can actually print on receipt printers, open cash registers and utilize pole displays. e. It can track and display all transactions whether sales, voids, etc

Nachteile:

I'm actually looking for a way for the cashier to input the cash on hand in the system before the cash register totals are displayed so we can check if the actual cash is over or short from the POS register totals. What we do now is a workaround. The cashier inputs the cash on hand in the POS system and another person closes the cash register and declares if the actual cash is over or short from the POS totals. Also you can't use a mouse on it since it is DOS-based. However, it displays what you need to press in the keyboard to do transactions.

Cash Register (or DHPOS): A Classic, but Classy, Free POS Application

Kommentare: Whilst it may well be the case that many commercial and cloud-based POS packages have a nicer-looking user interface and require less setup and configuration, I have always been impressed with the rock-solid, "Swiss Army Knife" type approach that DHPOS takes. It is true that there is a little tinkering and thought necessary to get the software working the way that a client wants for initial setup, but once done nothing needs to be further altered and there are no ongoing costs to the client; it is literally like a physical cash register once set up. I still see some small businesses struggling with "dumb" cash register type tills that are clearly inadequate for their requirements where DHPOS can easily do a far better job, and for free, on literally any computer they have to hand even if it dates back to the late 1980s. This software could be a huge game changer for these businesses that could benefit from a more rigorous and careful analysis of their sales transactions. Above all, in terms of experience, I must say that the creator has proven to be an absolute gentleman to all of us in the DHPOS user community. Despite this being an unpaid role of his, and the software being free, quite amazingly he provides better support to all of us in using his software than many people get from paid POS support contracts.

Vorteile:

It is heartening that this package is completely free when many POS applications are painfully expensive for small businesses on a tight budget. But, even if it had instead been a paid product, nothing quite measures up to DHPOS (otherwise known as Cash Register) for rock-solid common sense, customisation and broad application to almost any small retail business that is happy to do without a graphical interface. Some may balk at using a DOS application for their day-to-day POS requirements -- and it is indeed a very classic DOS application written in QuickBasic 4.5 -- but it is both stable and reliable, as well as enjoying tremendous voluntary support from its creator. As it is a DOS application it will run on virtually any platform including 64-bit Windows, Linux and Mac OS courtesy of DOSBox and provides an advanced cash register, inventory manager, customer database and reports engine as its core functionality. Additionally it can provide ticket sales for theatre environments, a kitchen display for restaurants and bars, timed sales for Internet cafe type environments, and a variety of additional other features for innumerable business cases. It generates very detailed and useful reports that if used appropriately can be exactly what a small business needs to get control of its cashflow. All business operations in DHPOS follow a linear, step-by-step model which prevent errors from staff input and it requires very little staff training to use once set up.

Nachteile:

As it is a DOS program, there is no native support for many printers and barcode scanners directly from the program itself when run under Linux or Windows, so it can sometimes be tricky to make these devices behave themselves. There is a program called APRINT provided with the package for printing under Windows, although this can sometimes be a little tricky to configure correctly and does not always work. A workaround is available via the serial port emulation functionality of DOSBox which under Linux can be mapped to a physical device. This however is not a fault so much with the software as the environment in which it is developed, although given some persistence these issues can generally be overcome successfully.

Best Cash Register for Business

Kommentare: When we first started our business, we got caught up with another vendor's Point-of-Sale system. Their software was expensive, clunky, slow, and difficult to use. After some frustration with the price scheme and the fact that they wanted another couple hundred dollars to upgrade so that it would fix their bugs, we looked around and found Dale Harris Point of Sale. To be honest, I didn't expect much simply because it was free. I was pleasantly surprised when it not only was fast and easy to use, but the setup and maintenance was simple. It not only won me over, but I later installed it for my in-laws who had a business of their own. They used it for about 10 years before they finally retired.

Vorteile:

There were so many pros and it is hard to choose just one. The program itself is lightweight and can run on an older PC. I ended up using a Windows XP box, that was not connected to the internet, for this purpose. It will run on newer computers, for sure, but 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows computers need a DOS program like DOSBox to allow it to work its magic. It works easily with my Star printer and bar code scanner. The cash drawer functionality was easy to program. In fact, another great thing about this program is that the author heavily documented how to set it up.

Nachteile:

Setting up another monitor as a pole display seemed to be the biggest challenge I had. A couple of e-mails between the author and myself, however, resolved the issue.

Perfect solution for an art gallery

Kommentare: Our gallery has been using this program since its inception in 2007. Other than a couple of hiccups early on, we have run it successfully. We've set up the system so that each artist has a vendor number and correspondingly numbered inventory items. It's easy for each of the artists to see their sales throughout the month. The gallery director pulls monthly data from the program to determine how much each artist is owed at the end of the month.

Vorteile:

I hate to say it, but the price is what I like most about this software. Our cooperatively operated gallery has a very low budget and we pinch pennies wherever we can. We operate in a small town in a remote area. So, we count on locals and hope for tourists to keep us operating. How can you beat free software?

Nachteile:

Although this is not a problem for me personally, I think it would be easier for some people to use it were it a Windows based program rather than DOS. We have 15 member artists who use the program during their twice a month gallery sitting gigs. It's sometimes challenging for technology-challenged artists to remember how to operate the program properly.

Amazing POS, Very Simple and Clean Looking

Kommentare: Overall, the experience with Keyhut CASH REGISTER is proving to be very beneficial. It will definitely improve efficiency in our agency.

Vorteile:

I have been in the IT field since the days when IT departments consisted of 1 person sitting in a closet taking care of every thing computer related. I’ve seen DOS based programs come and go. I’ve always been fond of the clean look that DOS based programs afforded the end user, and CASH REGISTER by Keyhut is hands down the best POS system I’ve come across in my years working in IT. I’m actually in the process of implementing it at our agency for purposes of keeping inventory and charging back supplies to the correct department, instead of using it as a POS in selling merchandise to the general public. It’s not often you’ll find a software package that can be used in an entirely different way, but Keyhut designed this system so well that it was a no-brainer when deciding on the course our agency would take.

Nachteile:

I actually have no gripes about the software, but if I had to choose one thing that I liked the least, I’d probably say that I don’t like the fact that there is no web based access to the data generated by the system.

ease of use

Kommentare: i was a little apprehensive about loading and using the software, i am not computer savvy.
1. at first i used the user manual directly from my computer, it was time consuming and cumbersome, "my suggestion is, print the manual". it makes life so much easier
2. i was apprehensive about installing and using it, i first tried to learn as much a i could, you dont need to .
3. print a manual and just load and use, you have real time learning but it just works.
4. the backup or help i received from [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] was also efficient and timely.

Vorteile:

That i could keep an accurate check on my shops stock that i had the ability to limit the use of my employees that it was easier than i anticipated to install and use that i could manipulate and tweak elements to suit my business

Nachteile:

Since i have only been using the software for three months , i haven't really come across dislikes.

Great program

Vorteile:

The software is so easy to use. Love the TS lookup. It has made it much easier for the staff to ring up a customer. It also makes it much easier to train new employees.

Nachteile:

The invoicing for on account is poor. The top gives you the total due, were as the bottom shows what was purchased for the month. Very confusing for customers.

Amazingly feature packed and FREE

Kommentare: Overall this cash register program/POS is simply amazing. I have no issues running it on a daily basis. Support is handled by the team (the brain behind the software). The team is always helpful and never makes you feel dumb even if you feel you are asking a dumb question. All in all had my pos up and running in 2 days. Could have been a day, but was doing a lot of testing remotely from my hardware. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT! Looking forward to seeing the 64bit version completed!

Vorteile:

-Software was very easy to setup -Support is great, and FREE too -Great stock table, ability to track stock cost and retail. - supported all my existing hardware. - easily watch sales remotely.
