New Assistant get used to this software within 2 days to input data of collected cash and inventory stock management. Cons Very less feature compare to other software but so is the price.

Pros That i could keep an accurate check on my shops stock that i had the ability to limit the use of my employees that it was easier than i anticipated to install and use that i could manipulate and tweak elements to suit my business Cons Since i have only been using the software for three months , i haven't really come across dislikes.

Also, it's actually still developed. Go DHPOS! Alternatives considered [Gazelle Point-of-Sale](https://www.capterra.com/p/126048/Gazelle-Point-of-Sale/) Reasons for choosing Cash Register Cash Register is retro, has outstanding customer service, no web browser required, and runs on even that 486 you have to dig out!

Would highly recommend and do recommend the product. Pros The software is so easy to use. Love the TS lookup. It has made it much easier for the staff to ring up a customer. It also makes it much easier to train new employees. Cons The invoicing for on account is poor. The top gives you the total due, were as the bottom shows what was purchased for the month. Very confusing for customers. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 October 8, 2019 Overall it's a great experience. Needed a POS system to meet tax department requirement in my country and this solve that problem at little to no cost to my business. Great software we love it. Pros I like that the software didn't cost me more than a donation, which I believe should be done by everyone to help this developer improve the software. I like that with my technological knowledge the software was fairly easy to install and set up. It gives you great, in software, direction and information to make setup easy by simply following the direct and clear instructions given. Despite it being free I like that you can connect your cash register, barcode reader, and your pole display to the software. Of course you can connect your receipt printer a well with ease. It has all the needed features to run a successful business such as inventory for retail store and because of this there's no real need to go buy an expensive POS system which will do the same job as this one which is FREE. They say "free isn't always good", however this POS software is the complete opposite of that well known statement. It's not only good it's great and get the needed job done. On top of all this I like the customer service received it was fast, clear, and helpful. Something many wouldn't expect to get from a free software. Hats off to the owner of this product for being so dedicated. Cons What I don't like and would like to see change even though it's not a big issue would be to have the capability to use the mouse to select the options instead of using just the keyboard. I would also like if the interface can be upgraded a little and look a little more user friendly or pretty in other words. However those are minor things and doesn't really should matter long as it gets the job done.

It's all you need, and then some." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 September 23, 2019 Pros I've run my own business in the same location for 36 years. I've tried lots of software over the years. Like anything else that's new, it takes a while to become familiar with Cash Register. But once you learn it, you realize how simple and yet how powerful it actually is. It has much more capability than I'll ever need. I happened to find it while looking for a replacement for my Casio cash register that failed after many years of use. However, the Casio's cash drawer was still in great shape and I discovered that I could use it with the Cash Register software. I used an old power supply and configured CR for my receipt printer, which could also kick out the cash drawer when the transaction was done! Since I began business with DOS, I really liked that CR runs in a DOS-like environment. It runs perfectly in Windows 7. It has never crashed on me. Inventory, like everything else in CR, is easy to add and edit. You certainly can't buy anything better for the price! LOL I'm so thankful for Cash Register. Be sure to visit Dale's Cash Register Facebook page. Cons I've been using it for about 10 years now, and I can't think of a thing I would change about it. Reasons for choosing Cash Register The Quicken setup was too involved and needed proprietary hardware; thermal printer and cash drawer. It also was mainly written for touchscreen use and was not very keyboard-only friendly. Dale's Cash Register works great with no surprises or gotchas and can be configured to work with almost any display and printer.

Firefighter/IT Support Public Safety ### "Amazing POS, Very Simple and Clean Looking" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 7, 2019 Overall, the experience with Keyhut CASH REGISTER is proving to be very beneficial. It will definitely improve efficiency in our agency. Pros I have been in the IT field since the days when IT departments consisted of 1 person sitting in a closet taking care of every thing computer related. I’ve seen DOS based programs come and go. I’ve always been fond of the clean look that DOS based programs afforded the end user, and CASH REGISTER by Keyhut is hands down the best POS system I’ve come across in my years working in IT. I’m actually in the process of implementing it at our agency for purposes of keeping inventory and charging back supplies to the correct department, instead of using it as a POS in selling merchandise to the general public. It’s not often you’ll find a software package that can be used in an entirely different way, but Keyhut designed this system so well that it was a no-brainer when deciding on the course our agency would take. Cons I actually have no gripes about the software, but if I had to choose one thing that I liked the least, I’d probably say that I don’t like the fact that there is no web based access to the data generated by the system.

Its right up there with the big software, once more did I mention, ITS FREE!! Give it a try, you wont look back! Pros Functionailty, ease of use, design, customisation and basically just about everything is positive. It just works, which is brilliant! Cons I have no cons whatsoever.
