POS refers to a system or a combination of systems that are used to facilitate easy and faster checkout for customers at various outlets. A standard POS system consists of a computer, monitor, cash drawer, receipt printer, barcode scanner, POS software,

weight scale, and sometimes credit and debit card readers. POS terminals are used for facilitating cashless transactions for sales of goods and are used by retailers to manage information related to their inventory, customers, and cash flows. They are mainly used for retail sales management.The EMV POS terminals are a combination of hardware and software, which enable users to avail card payments directly without updating the cash registers from anywhere. The cost of installing a terminal varies with the size of the business unit and selling terms with the channel partners and suppliers. Segments such as pubs,takeaways are small units integrating EMV POS terminals. Hence, the cost of installation will vary accordingly (the memory limit for software and hardware).
