Should you interface your cash register to a DVR with a text inserter? Yes, you probably should.

 

Text Inserter Features of the SAM4s SAP-630R

A text inserter can really complete the overall effectiveness or a good POS system. If you are not familiar with Text Insertion make sure and watch the video. In a nutshell this feature overlays the items sold by the cashier in live time on your DVR including the price. This feature also will display the cost, the payment and everything about the transaction. What you should know is that almost every SAM4s register model features Text Insertion as a standard feature including the SAP-630R. Using this feature has far more to do with your security system than the register. 

Stop Cashiers from Stealing with Text Insertion

Utilizing this feature can greatly reduce some of the methods cashiers use to steal from the store. We probably can't count the amount of money store owners have lost just to cashiers ringing up a different UPC for their friends rather than what they are taking. So know when you see a case of beer or a carton of cigarettes' going across the counter you can see what is actually being rang up. It is very easy for a cashier to scan a different code like a candy bar as an example. This feature can also help you figure out why cashiers are performing no sales on the register. Are they really making change or are they opening the drawer to take money? How do you do that you are asking? Well because a good security system should also let you search for particular text. Say for example you want to see the video of every "No Sale" a cashier has done. You simply search for No Sale and your DVR should queue up every no-sale so you can review what the cashiers are really doing.   Give us a call at 800-863-2274 or find us https://www.cashregisterguys.com/ for more information.

Should you Surcharge your customers when they use a charge card?

 

To Surcharge or not to Surcharge, that is the question!

We have encountered quite a few customers recently that want to start a surcharge program for the credit card sales. What happens is a merchant services salesperson will come in or call you business and offer you a free credit card program. If you just sign up with them you can accept cards for free. Well the truth is a little different from that. These programs charge your customers instead of you. Not only that, but they are charging your customers far more than then they would ever charge you. As an example maybe you have a competitive deal for your merchant services and let's say you are being charged interchange plus 10 basis points. That is a good deal, so when they offer the free program they charge your customers 300 or 400 basis points which of course is 3% to 4% on top of what you are collecting. The problem with this is the merchant services sales person would never get away with charging you that, but when you sign up for a program like that you are letting them gouge your customers. Why is the merchant services sales person doing that? Because they make enormous commissions on a program like that. Probably ten times more than they would make giving you a fair deal.

Is there blowback from operating a Surcharge Program?

There are other pitfalls to these programs as well. As an example, take me. I will not go to a store that charges a surcharge. I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels that way. Who know, maybe it will becaome the new normal and I will be forced to but not today!
