Which SAM4s Cash Register Should You Choose?

SAM4s cash registers are not one-size-fits-all. The right model depends on whether you need a compact entry-level register, a raised-key retail keyboard, a flat spill-resistant food service keyboard, a receipt-only printer, a receipt-and-journal printer, scanner support, customer display, payment integration, or advanced networking.

Retail and Liquor

Choose a raised-key model when you need traditional department keys, PLU keys, scanner support, cashier control, receipt printing, and daily reports.

Restaurants and Food Service

Choose a flat spill-resistant keyboard model for quick service, bars, cafes, delis, bakeries, concessions, and menu-based checkout.

Higher-Volume Counters

Choose ER-900 or SPS-300 models when you need more capacity, more peripheral options, dual printers, networking, or advanced programming.
