Re: [MUSEUM-L] Cash register for admissions, special events and gift shop
I am thinking of moving toward a touch-screen system, like you see in Restaurants, that will interface with our Filemaker databases for membership and gift shop. I think this might be an easy way for the receptionist to check people in, etc. I have already purchased a barcode scanner for the gift shop, and they are inputting the books this way. The next step we are looking at is issuing members plastic cards with bar codes on the back. Then I will work on a touch screen interface. It would be nice if I could find something out there that was pre-made for Filemaker, but haven’t yet found it.

We are currently using, but mostly cursing, the cheapest cash register from Staples. We need really need something better (current system doesn't even have a journal tape), but we aren't ready for for a full POS system. Is there a happy medium out there, or is the cost of a higher-end register so high we might as well go for a POS system.
