We use it every day in our retail store and are extremely familiar with Royal products. I am a programmer and developer with over 18 years experience. Using Royal registers for over a decade has made me a believer. I have personally spent over 8 months familiarizing myself with the Royal TS4240 touch screen POS system prior to putting it into service at my store.   When I was looking to get out of my cash register and into a POS system, I could not believe the cost and most systems did not have the functionality I needed. They were all over priced and required additional programming and input from me anyway. At that point I did not realize that Royal had any intention of releasing a touch screen POS system. Well I was already using a 600 series cash management system for 3 years in my music store that performed flawlessly. I was able to seamlessly integrate my existing systems into the new POS with ease. Now I have a State of the art POS and accounting system that saves me time in training and is a breeze to use. I transfer daily sales into QuickBooks Pro and it updates my inventory quantities and calculates my sales tax automatically. This is a wonderful and affordable system that is extremely intuitive and easy to use.
