Do you sell coffee by the ounce or pound?  What about loose-leaf tea?  If so, you should look at a retail scale that is electronically hooked up to SP-1.  I touched on this briefly in a previous blog (Retail Options In SP-1) but thought it worth supplying some information about using the scale itself in SP-1. 

Scales are accurate.  So is SP-1.   Once you have an integrated scale, you will get 100% of the price per weight.  For example, with a scale, the employee puts the tea / coffee on the scale and l SP-1 calculate it.  If the tea weighs at 100.5 grams and is $19.75 per 100 grams the sale is calculated at $19.85.    We know that an employee will often round that tea to 100 grams to make it easy if they are typing it in.   Even worse is the employee who transposes a digit or misreads the scale.  At $.19 a gram mistakes add up quickly!

Scales are easy.   Take product, place on scale, hit a button.  It’s simple.  

Customers trust them.  When a customer knows the scale is electronically connected to the POS, they trust the totals that they are given more.
