POS system is the combination of hardware and software that businesses use to complete transactions, manage sales, and track payments. It includes features such as order processing, payment handling, and analytics, helping businesses streamline their sales operations and customer interactions.
Whether you’re running a small market stall or a multi-venue operation, your point-of-sale will be the hub of your business that keeps everything running smoothly. Ultimately, it speeds up transactions — reducing queues and improving the customer experience — and tracks inventory and sales in real-time, giving you valuable insights into what’s selling and where so you can optimise stock levels and maximise profits.
POS systems come in various forms, and choosing the right one will depend on your business needs. Consider what hardware you’ll require — like an EFTPOS machine, receipt printer, or barcode scanner — and the software features specific to your industry or business size, such as loyalty programs or table management. Other key factors to assess when selecting the best POS system are ease of use, integration with your current providers (accounting, payments, or e-commerce), how easily you can access customer support, and cost. To help select the right provider, read our comprehensive guide to the best POS systems for small businesses.
Zeller POS Lite is free and comes built-in to Zeller Terminal 2, with no lock-in contracts, setup fees, or monthly charges. Simply purchase the terminal outright for $199 to get started. You’ll benefit from a low, flat transaction fee for all card types (including AMEX) or you can enable surcharging to pass the fee on to your customers.
Zeller POS Lite comes built-in to Zeller Terminal 2 for free. To get started, simply purchase Zeller Terminal 2 from the Zeller Shop, connect it to Wi-Fi or a Zeller SIM card, and follow the instructions to create an item library either on your Zeller Dashboard, Zeller App, or directly on the terminal.
The POS hardware you choose will depend on the size and industry of your business. While a POS system traditionally included a countertop computer and display, today more and more businesses are opting for sleeker solutions – like Zeller Terminal 2 – that integrate the EFTPOS machine and free POS system functionalities directly.
Businesses that process payments in-person will require an EFTPOS terminal or a mobile payment app (like Tap to Pay) to accept card and contactless payments, and businesses that accept cash will need a cash drawer to securely store money and provide change to customers. A receipt printer may also be included for printing customer receipts, or for businesses that need to print order dockets for the kitchen. For retail businesses, a barcode scanner may help make the checkout process quicker.
The most basic (and important) feature of point of sale software is to accept payments. Depending on the needs of your business, this may include accepting online payments through your eCommerce site, accepting in-person payments, or processing card-not-present transactions. Most point of sale software – such as Zeller POS Lite – will also include the ability to update your inventory whenever a customer orders a meal, or buys or returns an item. This allows you to easily track stock levels, anticipate when popular items will run out, and stay on budget by purchasing supplies only when necessary.
For dine-in hospitality businesses, POS software can also aid in helping staff to manage reservations, waitlists, and track table turnover rates. Zeller POS Lite, for example, provides real-time sales reporting and a simple interface that helps streamline both front-of-house and back-end operations. Additionally, POS software can simplify time tracking and scheduling and can double as a customer relationship management (CRM) tool.
Traditionally, POS systems in Australia have been installed and run on a computer or server on the business premises, referred to as “on-premise”. However, more and more businesses are moving to cloud-based POS systems, which are decentralised and accessible online.
Cloud-based systems like Zeller POS Lite offer several key benefits. For one, there are significantly reduced upfront costs – there’s no need to invest in expensive hardware or servers. Software updates, security patches, and new features are rolled out automatically, ensuring your POS system is always up to date with minimal effort. Because the software is hosted in the cloud, it can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection, which is ideal for business owners who need oversight across multiple venues or remote access to real-time reports. Plus, cloud-based POS systems are highly scalable, making them well-suited to businesses that plan to grow or expand their operations.
Of course, switching to the cloud can raise questions around reliability and security. Zeller POS Lite is built with enterprise-grade security in mind – transactions are encrypted, and all data is securely backed up. Zeller Terminal comes with a SIM card slot for extra connectivity, so you can accept payments even when your Wi-Fi is down, helping your business stay operational in any situation.
Innovated and engineered in Melbourne, Zeller Terminal 2 features a never-before-seen design and comes with built-in free POS software: Zeller POS Lite. Designed for micro, small, and mobile businesses, this free, easy-to-use POS solution records sales and delivers a fast and secure customer checkout experience – without the need for cumbersome or complex POS hardware and software.
With Zeller POS Lite, you can upload and manage an item library, customise your product offering with variants and modifiers, access top-selling items quickly from the home screen, set up multiple sites, generate itemised receipts, view detailed sales reports, and more. It delivers many of the core features businesses expect from point of sale software – like inventory tracking, real-time reporting, and multi-site management – all at no monthly cost.
Zeller also offers businesses the ability to send online invoices, making it easier to manage and track payments. Zeller POS Lite comes automatically installed on Zeller Terminal 2, with no ongoing software fees or hidden charges. All you need to do is follow the steps to set up your item library and start selling, it’s that easy.
