Atlanta has Point of Sale systems available for sale. This is a computer aided system whereby sales can be scanned and checked in (also known as a checkout system). The computers use work on DOS, Windows or Unix platforms. They can come bundled with the specialized software for inventory and sale. A credit card reader, a receipt printer, a cash drawer, a barcode scanner, and a PIN pad with integrated card swipe are the integrated hardware components of a POS system. These are especially useful for sales and operations on a larger scale. It makes inventory and sale of merchandise or services, such as at restaurants and hotels easier and more streamlined. The system is manufactured by a number of companies, such as Fujitsu, IBM, MICROS Systems, Panasonic, Radiant Systems, and Squirrel Systems. One or more of these are available in Atlanta.
