Hospitality Cash Drawers & POS Solutions

The Series 100 is the go-to choice. It features deep under-till storage to handle large bills securely during peak service and is tested to endure more than 4,000,000 cycles. In fast-paced food service environments, where a single drawer can process hundreds of transactions per day, that level of durable matters.

Yes. apg® cash drawers are built for seamless compatibility with a wide range of POS systems. We offer USB, Ethernet, serial, and printer-driven interface options, so our hardware connects to your existing hospitality software and receipt printers without requiring a system overhaul.

The Vasario series is a cost-effective, Standard Duty cash drawer tested for over 1,000,000 transactions, so it’s the ideal choice for cafes and moderate-volume restaurants. On the other hand, the Series 100 is a Heavy Duty cash drawer tested beyond 4,000,000 transactions. We designed this specifically for high-traffic bars and demanding hospitality environments, as it offers deep under-till storage and heavy-duty construction.

Our drawers reduce shrinkage through a combination of secure hardware and intelligent tracking. Our Heavy Duty cash drawers feature advanced locking mechanisms that prevent unauthorized access between transactions, and our smarttill® solution goes further by tracking every cash movement in real time and creating an instant trail. These drawers flag discrepancies immediately, which deters internal theft and stops small losses from growing into large ones.

Choosing the right size depends on your counter space and transaction volume. For compact areas like coffee shops or quick-serve counters, a smaller 13-inch footprint can maximize your workspace. For high-volume environments like busy bars or hotel front desks, a larger 16-inch or 18-inch model offers more capacity and under-till storage for coin rolls and large bills.

Security is critical in fast-paced environments, especially when multiple employees handle transactions. Look for heavy-duty steel construction and advanced locking mechanisms that prevent unauthorized access, as well as solutions like the apg smarttill® that use intelligent weighing technology to track every cash movement in real time. Together, these features increase security and safeguard your business.

In the hospitality industry, hardware is exposed to spills, crumbs, and constant use. You should wipe down your cash drawer’s exterior daily with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. For internal maintenance, regularly check the till and media slots for debris that could interfere with the drawer’s movement, and make sure you’re keeping the tracks clean.

Yes. In busy bars and restaurants, multiple staff members often share a single POS station. Setting up a proper cash management system lets you assign unique server IDs within your POS software. When paired with an intelligent solution like the smarttill®, the system tracks exactly who accessed the drawer and how much cash was exchanged. That guarantees accountability without ever slowing down service. apg® also offers the ShareTill® interface, which enables multiple staff members to securely access and use a single connected cash drawer from mobile POS devices.

Manual cash counting is a major bottleneck in hospitality settings. Intelligent cash management solutions automate the counting process by instantly weighing coins and banknotes, eliminating the need for manual spot checks and end-of-shift counts. By streamlining these tasks, your staff can focus more on delivering an exceptional customer experience rather than counting bills.
