Hand held POS System devices are all the new rage. With technology moving and continuously making more advanced strides, POS input devices are ever changing. Hand Held POS system scanners are wireless devices that can communicate with the terminal or station of your choosing.

Typically the hand held POS is a modified PDA (portable digital assistant). Through this PDA you can transmit orders back to a home base station. A distinct advantage for restaurants is that you can increases the amount of time it takes for a server to place orders and thus enable them to be on the floor assisting your restaurant guest.

The latest type of input device is the handheld, wireless terminal. Essentially a PDA, each handheld terminal wirelessly transmits orders back to a base station. A distinct advantage for restaurants is that they increase the amount of time servers spend on the floor taking orders and interacting with customers, because they never have to go back to a terminal to enter orders.

Hand Held Write POS Systems: these are newer forms of input devices that allow the server to use handwriting recognition software to write down the order and then send it back to the kitchen.

Hand Held devices are more expensive input devices but you can see the advantage of your servers being on the floor and upselling more food and alcohol to your guest.

Different Types of Scanners

• Auto Sensing POS scanners - meaning that they turn themselves on or off when a item is placed in front of them.
• Omnidirectional POS Scanners - meaning they send out 15-20 lasers simultaneously, which lets the business scan the products barcode from any angle.
• Embedded POS Scanners - Typically more expensive but are omnidirectional scanners that is installed below the counter. More Common for POS systems in Supermarkets.

Choosing a type of scanner typically correlates to the amount of traffic you will expect at that particular POS Terminal or register.

Switching from a traditional cash register to a computerized POS system can be a little difficult - there are many factors to consider and some pitfalls to avoid. However the return on investment and benefits to your business can really make it worth your time and effort.

In the most basic sense, a POS system is a glorified cash register. The most basic POS system consists of a computer, a cash drawer, receipt printer, a monitor, and an input device such as a keyboard or scanner. However, in addition to being more efficient than cash registers, POS systems can create detailed reports that can help you make more informed business decisions.
