the time and place where a retail
transaction is completed.

PC display all the way to a tablet or
a smartphone

You will also need an EMV

compliant credit card terminal with
your POS system
Cash Register

Another needed piece of hardware

is the cash register. Obviously, if
your business does not work with
cash, then this piece might not be
required. For most companies, this
is a requirement.

You will also likely need a receipt

printer as your customers will need
proof of their purchase. If you are in
the restaurant business, then a
kitchen printer would also be a
requirement.

that causes ongoing headaches.
