drawer

A cash drawer serves as an essential component of a POS system, offering secure storage for cash, coins, and receipts. Typically placed under the counter or integrated into the POS workstation, it features multiple compartments to organize different denominations. Most drawers include a locking mechanism that prevents unauthorized access, ensuring security during transactions. Cashiers open and close the drawer with a simple command from the POS system or manually when needed. Many modern drawers also feature a bill separator to help maintain an organized cash flow. Some models offer electronic connections, enabling seamless communication with the POS for automated drawer opening. These drawers are built for durability, withstanding frequent use in busy retail environments.
