Metro Cash Register and American Point of Sale is made up of a group of men and women who have made this industry their careers. Our entire staff has an average of 19.5 years in the industry. We love this business and are committed to our customer’s success.

Metro Cash Register began business in 1974. The most advanced cash register of the day was made of steel and weighed over 200 pounds. High Tech? Absolutely. When you looked at the inner workings of one of these your reaction was nothing short of astonishment. With thousands of gears, levers, shafts and pulls all working together in perfect orchestration, you knew a mechanical genius was behind it all.

Today that same miracle of technology is performed with microchips and mini-switches and weighs 21 pounds. The weight is one tenth and so is the price. With the advent of electronics and microprocessors together with the philosophy of smaller is better; we are operating in a different world.

Today the cash register is broken into two very different families. You have the simple “cash register” that performs basically the same function as its ancestors. Giving you simple tax calculations and a drawer to keep your money secure. The other branch of this family tree even went so far as to change its name. He goes by the name of  “Point of Sale”.

The point of sale terminal, as it’s known today, is the grown up, stronger than ever and much evolved cash register. You now have:      

Full inventory control
Complete customer tracking
Printing and reading barcodes
Sales, vendor, inventory, etc. reporting
Accounting and payroll
And the list goes on and on.

During this evolution many new companies have emerged and many old companies have gone. The common thread between most of them is they are not around today. The great majority of the new POS companies last less than 2 years. The companies that have stood the test of time have come through the change stronger and more determined than ever.

Metro Cash Register is one of these fortunate few. With the experience gained only through time and the new breed of the computer ultra-savvy working side by side we truly have the best of all worlds. The years of experience have yielded us a working knowledge of the retail industry that, as you know, is priceless. Combine that with the technology available today and the expertise to put that technology to use for you and you can see why we have thousands of very successful, happy customers.
