Which POS System Is Right for Me?

Choosing a POS system isn't about picking the "best" one — it's about picking the right one for your business. Here's a fast way to think about it.
If you run a tuck shop, spaza, or small retail store: you need something simple and fast, quick sales, basic stock tracking, and a system that doesn't need a full time IT person to run. A ROBOTILL retail setup on an entry-level touchscreen or a reliable cash register covers this without overcomplicating your day.
If you run a restaurant, tavern, or takeaway: you need table/order management, quick modifiers (extra cheese, no onions), and split-bill handling. A restaurant POS setup does this properly and a plain cash register can't.
If you're scaling to more than one till or location: you need centralized reporting so you can see sales across sites without physically visiting each one. This is where a proper POS system earns its cost over a basic cash register.
The honest rule: start with what your current volume actually needs, not what looks impressive. A tuck shop doing 40 sales a day doesn't need restaurant-grade software any more than a busy restaurant can survive on a basic cash register.
