Tills are welcomed with arms open by dry cleaning and laundry businesses. This blog is all about how you can use EPOS Till System for smart order processing, CRM & more.

We’ll start with the basics first & then explore how till system works.

What is a till?

In simple words, you can relate till to a cash register. It is the heart and soul of the business. Besides collecting payments, tills are something you can plan your business around. Thanks to advancements in technology, traditional tills are now known as EPOS tills (Electronic Point of Sales). Modern tills allow businesses to reach new heights besides taking payments. They’re allowing businesses to handle the admin side with bite-size information, manage staff, do stock management, and more smoothly &  effectively.

What was impossible for traditional till to do instantly is now accessible via EPOS tills. Moreover, if you’re into dry cleaning and laundry services then EPOS is a major helping hand. Learning how to employ this modernized system at your disposal can lead to major time saving and a big move to upscale your business.

How does a till work?

An EPOS till system is a combination of hardware and software. As stated above, a traditional till is a cash register. Taking it further and modernizing the same, EPOS till is attached to a cash drawer, receipt printer, barcode reader, and card reader. They’re linked with some hardware for automated payment processing, inventory and sales reports, and other essentials in one place only.

How to use a till in a shop?

Technology is a promising way to get your things done smartly. But it still seems a daunting task for many. In case you’re using a till system and willing to continue with the same then this blog will make you reconsider your decision. Well, we’re here with the simplest way to use an EPOS till in your shop. This instance is all about EPOS for laundry and dry-cleaning services. Most EPOS work in a similar fashion though.

Step – 1: Power ON your System

Find a good place for your system with a nearby power source. For instance, a countertop with an electrical socket built on the floor is an ideal space to operate from. Plug in the system, turn the power ON and you’re all set to operate an EPOS. Meanwhile, your system must be accessible to the internet for processing online payments. (just in case any customer insists).

Step – 2: Configuration
