A desktop POS system is a computerized cash register that can be used as a stand-alone device or connected to the internet for remote management. Such devices are usually equipped with a touchscreen, barcode scanner, receipt printer and more. They can be used for any type of business such as retail shops and restaurants.

The main advantage of using a desktop POS system is that it allows you to keep all of your data in one place. This can be extremely useful if you are running multiple businesses or have multiple locations. For example, many retail stores have more than one location, and it can be very time-consuming to track inventory for each individual store manually.
