The SAP-6600II includes an age verification feature

 

Don't take chances, use age verification when selling beer, wine, and tobacco with the SAM4s SAP-6600II point of sale system.

We have heard from more and more customers around the country that different States or municipalities are begging to mandate age verification during the sale of certain items. The SAM4s SAP-6600II includes that feature as standard and it can be done with or without a bar code scanner. For best results we recommend a bar code scanner because it is more secure and much faster that a manual entry but, either method will work. Don't find out the hardware that it would have been worth the small investment needed to buy a scanner and pair it with your system. Did you know in some states they ban you from selling beer or wine for a week if you break the rule and the penalties get worse each time. Do you really want to be banned from selling beer, wine or tobacco? Call us at 800-863-2274 or on the web you can find us here SAM4s SAP-6600II

Kitchen Video Display for SAM4s Cash Registers and SAM4pos

 

Yes SAM4s Cash Registers Work with Kitchen Video Display Systems

I think this is a greatly overlooked tool smaller restaurants could be using and you don't have to have an expensive POS system to use one. If you have paid attention when you are dining out whether in fast casual and many table service you maybe noticing Kitchen Video Display systems being used. Well the good news these are affordable for most every level of restaurant now especially paired with a cash register or the SAM4pos system. 

Streamline your kitchen operations with an affordable SAM4s and a Kitchen Video Display System

Using Kitchen Video Display systems allow you to really speed up your operations with fewer errors. By deploying multiple Displays you can easy allow different parts of the kitchen to focus on their task while the entire order is being prepared. As an example the Grill Display will only display the items that cook is concerned with, while the Fry Station Display only shows the items that station should working on, while maybe you add a display at the Expo, pass through or drive through window that consolidates the entire order. 

Find out if you can use a Kitchen Video Display with your existing SAM4s register or select a model that will.

Give us a call at 800-863-2274 and we will be happy to let your know if your existing system will work with a KVS (Kitchen Video System)or not.

Are you looking for a bar code scanner for a SAM4s cash register? If so maybe this is the one you are looking for

 

Datalogic QS-2131 Bar Code Scanner for SAM4s Cash Registers

We tested the Datalogic QS-2131 Bar Code Scanner on the SAM4s Cash Registers

If you have been trying to find a good bar code scanner for any of the SAM4s cash registers you may have found them to be in short supply. For many years we have always used the Metrologic 9520, 3780 or 7120 and they all worked very well. The problem of course is the supply chain issues and for some reason that has affected serial devices more that USB and most of the SAM4s line up requires Serial (RS-232)

So we started ordering in different scanners to test. We have used the higher end Datalogic scanners before so we made sure to bring in an entry level model with the correct interface options. We brought in three different manufactures scanners and we think this one is a winner. After testing this scanner I would be selling it even if there were not supply chain issues. I don't know why we never tried it before but I'm glad we finally did. 

The Datalogic QS-2131 is a solid option for the line up of SAM4s cash registers. In our trsting it was fast and scanned from quite a difference. We tested on all the SAM4s models so we already know what you will need to make it work with your SAM4s cash register. Just like most scanners that work with SAM4s registers they are not plug and play. There are several specific programming task that must be performed before using it but they don't take long and you will be up and running. You can find this scanner on our site now at Scanners for SAM4s cash registers or give us a call at 800-863-2274

How to backup your SAM4s SAP-630R and SAP-630F

 Simple Backup instructions for your SAM4s SAP-630 Terminal    

Making backups is an important part of managing your point of sale system. There is no reason to neglect this task especially when it is so easy to do. This video is for making an on-the-fly back up to a flash drive, but there are other methods you should be doing as well and we will make some videos of those soon. How often you back up your system is up to you of course but the more the better. One of the reasons we were motivated to create the videos this week was having a client that just had their cash register stolen right off the counter. When they recovered it sadly it was in pieces. If you are using these systems as standalone terminals which is popular you may not have any other back up if you elected not to back up in an automated process (which we recommend). If you have any questions please let us know. 800-863-2274 

Backing up your Database on the SAP-6600 terminal running SAM4pos

 

Now you don't have an excuse for not having a backup of your SAM4pos system on the SAP-6600

You never want to find yourself needing a back up and not having one. So we have created a video to show you how to create a back up on the fly using a flash drive. There are other ways of making a back up with this system and you should be making those on a schedule but in the meanwhile if you are not make certain you make this one from time to time. It's is easy to and you only need a flash drive.

SAM4s has released a new version of SAM4pos to manage your UPC's on a tablet

 

New Application for managing UPC database on SAM4pos

SAM4s has released an exciting new version of their popular POS application SAM4pos. This newest version is designed for the mobile tablet and is for programming and managing your UPC database only. This new version is less than half the cost of the full version of the App your POS terminals like the SAP-630 or SAP-6600 is running. The idea behind this change came about because most users of the tablet don't use them for POS or reports, the primary use has been managing items.

The Mobile SAM4pos Database Maintenance App Empowers you with Flexibility

Using the Mobile Tablet with this new App makes managing your items so much easier. The optimal deployment would include a tablet with a built in 2D bar code scanner. Using that configuration you can easily manage prices and add new items on the fly. When you need to change prices simply walk through your aisles scanning the items you need to edit, applying the new price and save the data. Instantly the prices will be updated in the POS terminals. You can do all this with never interrupting the POS terminals. If you have a really large store you can deploy multiple mobile tablets. If you need other features like POS or reporting on your tablet you can always use the full version of SAM4pos. You have any questions please call us at 800-863-2274 or find us here SAM4pos Database Maintenance App

The SAM4s SAP-630R using Scan Data Can Drive More Sales in Your Store

 

This Cash Register is Designed for C-Stores Interfaces with Scan Data

The SAM4s SAP-630R is the first cash register on the market that works with Scan Data., yep you read that right. This entry level bar code scanning system allows you to use the popular Scan Data program available from Altria, RJR, and ITG. Tapping into a program like this allows you to compete with the big chains because you will be able to offer multi-pack and loyalty discounts and or promotions to your customers and keep them coming back to your store for everything. 

Use Multi-Pack and Rebates the Tobacco Companies Loyalty Programs Offer to Bring in Your Customers More Often 

Without the rebates, it is becoming harder to compete in the highly competitive tobacco industry. Retailers must ensure age verification and purchase histories to qualify for the full discounts for multi-pack (https://bandyworks.com/blog/the-key-to-increasing-cigarette-sales-is-multi-pack-discounts/­) and loyalty purchases that allow competitive pricing (https://bandyworks.com/blog/scan-data-increases-tobacco-sales/). Many operators report profits increasing by several thousand dollars per store each month. Just a year ago you could not use powerful tools like these with an entry level cash register, but that has all changed with the SAM4s SAP-630R and SAP-6600II system. Both of these POS systems are affordable while having the features only found in much higher end systems before. 

Do you want to know how you can start using the Scan Data Program? 

This program is not for all retailers. To qualify, a tobacco reseller must have a contract with Altria, RJR, or ITG. The contract specifies pricing terms and product placement conditions along with the requirements for discounts for year-long multi-pack discounts and seasonal loyalty discounts. The scan data discounts are in addition to the existing buy-downs and allow the retailer to offer the same pricing options as the national chains when purchasing 2 packs of tobacco products such as Marlboro, Newport, Grizzly, Copenhagen, and other products such as vapor and even tobacco cessation. Of course you have to have a POS system that interfaces and is approved as well and now SAM4s SAP-630R works with the Scan Data Program.
