Main Reasons for Using Cash Register Express, CRE or Restaurant Pro Express, RPE
Below are good reasons you should computerize your traditional and old fashioned Cash Register with Cash Register Express POS Software for Retail or Restaurant Pro Express for Restaurants.
Traditional Cash Register
The old fashioned Cash Register only tells you how much money your business has taken in during the day. It cannot tell you how much of that money is profit. It cannot tell you how much inventory you have in your store, or how many of a particular item you sold in the day.
Computerizing Your Traditional, Old Fashioned Cash Register -
The Computerized Cash Register system replaces your old fashioned cash register. It will instantly tell you, for instance, that you have taken in $400, and that $100 of that $400 is your profit. It will also monitor your store inventory. For instance, it will tell you that you have sold 100 bottles of water, and that you have 200 bottles of water left in stock. It will also tell you what items you should order today because your stock is low. In addition, Cash Register Express or Restaurant Pro Express POS Software will help you in the following ways:
- Reduce Theft
The POS Software will help you reduce theft. How? Because your employees become more involved in watching the store inventory if they know that every piece of inventory in your business is being monitored and tracked. This is perfect for a retail and rental business such as video rental, equipment rental, etc.
- Reduce Inventory Shrinkage
By watching your inventory and comparing your in-store inventory to your computerized reports, both you and your employees are much more careful about giving away inventory, retaining obsolete inventory, monitoring breakage and non-theft inventory that "walks" out of your business, as well as controlling inventory as the items enter your store. Also, by watching your inventory reports, you can make sure that you order more wisely.
- Increase Your Inventory
You don't need 300 snow shovels in the summer, but you may need 500 more batteries for your store during the month of August. Many stores order products based on what they think they sell. If you check your inventory reports and see that you sold 500 batteries last August, it helps you get prepared so you don't run out of batteries this August. Watching your inventory reports increases your efficiency.
- Watch Your Margin
Your inventory report will show you that you sold 1,000 bottles of soda for 99 cents each, and that the cost was 40 cents each, a profit of 59 cents each. So, the inventory reports will show you the products that give you greater margin so that you stock more of those and fewer products that give you the least amount of profit.
- Speeds Customer Checkout
Cash Register Express will help speed up your customer checkout. With a barcode scanner, you can checkout a customer in half the time required with old fashion cash drawer. Even if you don't use a barcode scanner, your checkout is still faster and more accurate because you are entering inventory item numbers that are automatically tied to prices specified in Cash Register for each item. Print your barcode in-house with top of the line barcode printer. With the special credit card reader, credit card processing is a breeze.
- Accuracy
The price of every item in your store is coded into the Cash Register Express, and automatically processed when the code number is punched in. Never again will you have to figure out how much an item sells for. Your clerks will stop guessing those prices, and charging customers wrongly.
- Customer tracking, sales tracking
Keep track of which product a customer purchased. This will help you notify them when you have products on sale. Sending post cards to your customers periodically makes them feel appreciated, and that makes them keep coming back.
