POS tips for your first till (from someone who wired 200 of them)
The little decisions — receipt width, drawer height, cable tidy — that make the difference between chaos and calm.
Pick a 58mm printer, not 80mm
Paper is cheaper, printers are cheaper, and 58mm receipts fit the average pocket.
Buy the drawer
A KES 4,500 auto-open drawer pays for itself the first time it stops a KES 500 tuck-away.
Cable ties are self-respect
A tidy back-of-till is a tidy business. This is not a joke.
