How to set up a POS ergonomic mount? What will you need?
How do you set up a Point of Sale stand depending on the sector?

Depending on the sector to which a business belongs, you will need the ergonomic solution to have certain components. A restaurant set is not the same as a supermarket or clothes shop set.

In the food sector a basic solution is made up of:
  • Cash drawer.
  • Computer.
  • Card payment terminal or pin-pad.
  • Thermal printer.
  • Scanner
  • Customer display.
These are the basic elements that make up the supermarket Pinpad stand, a cash drawer to handle and store cash, a computer for obvious reasons, a pin-pad to charge by card, the  thermal printer to print the tickets, the display for the customer to see the products price, and finally the scanner to read the label of the products.

In other sectors such as restaurants or shops, the components that make up the POS mount may undergo a small change. In the restaurant and retail sector the basic ergonomic solution consists of:
  • Cash drawer.
  • Tablet
  • Card payment terminal or pin-pad.
  • Thermal printer.
  • Scanner
The difference between a stand in the food sector and one in the restaurant sector is that in the latter they have started to replace computers with tablets, also in the supermkarkets sets there are displays for customers that are not used in other sectors.

To improve ergonomics and space at the point of sale and to facilitate collection the best are techpole's OCTOPOS solutions.

Supermarket solution:
  • 500 mm pole.
  • a VESA for a monitor.
  • a VESA for the customers display.
  • An arm with card payment terminal and thermal printer holders.
  • A scanner holder.

Solution for restaurants and other businesses:
  • 350 - 400 mm pole.
  • Tablet holder.
  • Arm with a thermal printer holder.
  • Arm with a pin-pad holder.
  • Scanner holder.
One of the differences between the two solutions is the height, which in the case of supermarkets is higher. Another difference is that in the solution for restaurants and shops a tablet holder is used and not a VESA to place a monitor as in the solution for supermarkets, and finally in the solution for supermarkets there is a VESA for the display of the customers that does not exist in the other solution. The solutions are two examples that can be modified by the customers.
