Configuring Cash Register Express
Speed Tips for Retail Stores
Retail Stores increase throughput, customer satisfaction and overall profits by streamlining their
operations to be as efficient as possible. Reducing transaction time by a few seconds can have
substantial results. Cash Register Express is designed to provide the fastest checkout possible. Below
are a few tips on how to speed up the check out and payment of every customer.
 Swipe-and-go credit card processing. In order to pay by credit card, most point of sale
systems require selecting a PAY or TENDER button and then the selection of the CREDIT
CARD tender type. CRE is easier and fast; simply swipe the credit card on the menu screen.
As soon as the card is swiped CRE will process the card. Eliminating these two button presses
shaves a few valuable seconds off every credit card sale.
 Quick Tender button (configured in the Quick Invoicing and Alerts tab of the Setup Screen)
turn on quick pay buttons for cash; this will turn on $1, $5, $10, $20, $50 and the next even
dollar amount as fast payment buttons for speedy cash payment.
 Customizing buttons on the invoice screen can be used to dramatically increase the speed of
checking out a customer. The buttons should be color coded so your staff can associate a
certain color with a certain product. Therefore, eliminating the need to search for an item
every time. For example, in a grocery store you may want the color of your produce button
to be green.
 Secure Login Cards are a fast and secure way to log servers into the system. Typing an ID and
password (or a PIN code) takes a couple of seconds longer than swiping a card.
