Cash Register Cheatsheets - Sometimes cheaters DO win
We at American Metro pride ourselves on making selling stuff easy. We deliberately set up our rental equipment so that the average cashier can learn everything they need to know about how to complete a transaction in under 5 minutes. Of course, if they are anything like me, those few days between being trained to do something and actually putting it into practice, can result in some of the information not quite sticking.
For this very reason, we include a quick start guide with each rental. We usually call them cheatsheets, but don't worry, there are no penalties for using one. They include all the basic information about how to operate a register like:
- Ringing in preset and open items
- Applying discounts
- Tendering the sale with cash or credit or cash and credit (aka split tender)
- Processing voids and returns
- Running end of day reports
- Even basic programming functions like adding items or changing prices
One of our most popular cash registers is the ER-285, so to give you glimpse of what these cheatsheets look like, or in case you've misplaced yours, here is the standard 285 Cheatsheet. This covers the most common configurations for the ER-285. For rentals that have custom programs, custom cheatsheets will be created and supplied.
