PC-Based Registers

Abstract

Restaurateurs who have long felt constricted by having to modify their procedures to conform to the data requirements of rigid transaction-processing systems now have access to better, more-responsive systems. As vendors begin to transfer applications to more-flexible platforms, the transaction-processing marketplace will be dominated by PC-based registers (PCRs). Future designs are likely to feature modular configurations, increased settlement functionalities, and wireless devices. PCR systems are being configured using network technology.
