Overview

EPOS systems

This page covers EPOS, or electronic point of sale, systems: the tills, card readers, barcode scanners and software a shop uses to take payments and keep track of stock. EPOS is the one job in this page's form.

Pick the nearest job from the list in the form. If yours isn't there, choose the closest and explain what you need in the description.

Worth knowing

Worth checking before work starts

A few rules and checks that apply to this kind of work.

  1. Check your lease

    If you rent the shop, check your lease. It may need the landlord's consent before the premises are altered.

  2. Fitting outside opening hours

    Ask whether the fitting can be done outside opening hours, so the shop can keep trading.

  3. Training

    Ask how staff will be trained on the new tills, and whether that is in the price.
