You don't lose everything the moment your subscription ends like most cloud based systems - the database is at your site. ROBOTILL has automatic daily backups that allows you to store a backup of your database on another device or in the cloud.

All POS hardware is optional, but ROBOTILL Supports POS Hardware including Touch Screens, Barcode Scanners, Electronic Cash Drawers, Customer Pole Displays, POS Till Printers, Card Reader (for Cashier, Supervisor and Customers).
