An alien object less than decade ago, the iPad has since crept into the everyday lives of many. More than a source of entertainment, it's now a common business tool both here in Australia and around the globe. With its affordability and convenience, it's easy to see why.

iPads can be used for a wide range of business applications, however the most common use is as a point of sale system. There is a wide variety of iPad POS software programs available, making it very easy - and affordable - for any business to turn one of these devices into a fully functioning point of sale system that meets their individual requirements. 

Here at Cash Register Warehouse, we offer a range of iPad POS systems that are sophisticated yet incredibly user-friendly. Equipped with easy-navigation screens, they make setting up inventory items and compiling reports a breeze. Being cloud-based, our iPad POS systems are suitable for businesses with single stores, multiple stores, or those who work remotely. With many of our systems, sales back up automatically to the cloud, allowing you to keep track of and manage your store(s) wherever they may be located. Our higher-end systems allow for multiple store locations and warehousing, and make it possible to transfer inventory in real time between stores - perfect for larger businesses! 

For those in the hospitality sector (e.g. restaurants, cafés and bars), our point of sale systems can be paired with a receipt printer and cash draw - delivering a complete solution. For this application, the system can also be cloud-based where necessary, meaning sales can be recorded either locally or stored via the cloud depending on your requirements. For the hospitality sector, Kounta, SplitAbility and MobiPOS are the ideal iPad point of sale system. We use this system ourselves personally, and therefore highly recommend it. This system can be scaled up according to the size of your business and your requirements - whether you need to use extra iPads, iPods and/or iPhones as additional handheld ordering terminals. It's the ideal point of sale setup for a wide variety of businesses. The best thing about it? It's highly affordable! 

We do not stop with iPad POS software! Here at Cash Register Warehouse, we not only offer cheap iPad POS software solutions, but also provide complementary hardware as well. Most of our add-ons are simple to install, and many are fully compatible with our selection of software programs. Our range includes best-selling receipt printers such as the Star TSP143LAN Printer and the Epson TM-T82i Intelligent Printer. These two are amongst the most common hardware options that are compatible with our point of sale systems, and we've sold many to date. Once the system is set up, you're able to have a range of network printers to choose from. 

When it comes to receipt printers, it's important to note that many of the iPad POS apps have the ability to email the receipt as well as printing it out on site. We know that some businesses find that their customers prefer having the receipt emailed through - it's always good to be able to provide the option. When receipts are emailed through rather than printed on site, be aware that this change in functionality will not allow you to open the cash drawer on your iPad POS. Instead, it will open the cash drawer using the drawer kick port from the receipt printer. For those in the retail sector, a bar-code scanner is almost certainly a necessity. 

If you're looking to set up an iPad point of sale system for your retail business, we have a range of scanners available in our scanner section. For most of our customers, we usually recommend our Bluetooth barcode scanners. These can be paired in just a matter of seconds, making setup incredibly quick and easy! Whether you choose to go wireless or Bluetooth, the process is straightforward - we can help you create a complete point of sales solution that meets the exacting needs of your business. The best thing about our hardware selection is that the majority of these tools are 'plug and play', meaning they can be set up in seconds by even the least tech-savvy amongst us!
