What's Included in a POS Hardware Package in Guyana? (2026)
Does the software come with the machine, or is that separate? Here's exactly what's in our POS hardware package and what it costs - no vague quotes required.
One question we get almost every week from someone setting up a new shop or restaurant: "does the software come with the machine, or do I need to buy that separately?" Fair question, and one a lot of POS companies are vague about until the invoice shows up. Here's exactly what's in our hardware package and what it costs.
What's Actually in the Box
Our standard POS hardware package includes everything you need to start ringing up sales on day one:
- Lenovo Tiny desktop computer - small footprint, reliable, built to run all day every day
- Monitor (non-touch screen)
- Cash drawer
- Barcode scanner
- Receipt printer
That's a complete register, ready to go - not a list of things you still need to hunt down separately after you've already paid for software.
The Price
The full hardware package is $285,000 GYD, and it is priced separately from your POS software subscription. We don't bundle a hardware markup into the software price and hide it - you know exactly what the machine costs and exactly what the software costs.
Running a restaurant or bar? TouchPOS is our restaurant software plan, not a hardware package: one flat $103,680 GYD per year with no tiers, and setup from $90,000 GYD.
Already Have Some of the Hardware?
Not everyone is starting from zero. Maybe you already have a computer system sitting around, or an old barcode scanner from a previous setup. Tell us what you have, and we will work with it wherever we can. We like working alongside our clients rather than just handing over a fixed invoice - if something you already own does the job, we would rather save you the money than sell you a duplicate.
Which Device Do You Need?
- Lenovo Tiny desktop computer (our hardware package): the right choice for most fixed-location businesses, with solid local storage for busy shops with several checkouts.
- Any other device: OnlinePOS runs in a web browser on any type of device, with no app to download, so mobile setups like food trucks and market stalls can use a device you already have.
If you are not sure which fits your business, that is exactly the kind of question worth asking us before you buy anything.
What's Not Included (And Why That's Fine)
The hardware package covers the core register setup. Depending on your business, you might also want a kitchen display screen for a restaurant, additional receipt printers for a second register, or a UPS to protect everything during a power outage. These are quoted based on your specific setup rather than folded into one generic number - because a single-register hardware shop and a three-register restaurant genuinely need different things.
Installation Is Part of the Deal
We do not drop a box at your door and wish you luck. Setup, configuration and staff training happen on-site, so the first time your team uses the system is with us standing right there, not on a stressful opening morning with a manual and a support hotline.
The Bottom Line
Hardware pricing does not need to be a mystery, and it should not be an unpleasant surprise after you've already committed to the software. Our full package is $285,000 GYD for a complete, ready-to-use register - a Lenovo Tiny desktop computer, monitor, cash drawer, barcode scanner and receipt printer - with on-site installation included.
If you want an exact quote for your specific setup, give us a call - we would rather spend five minutes on the phone getting it right than have you guessing from a generic price list.
