In today’s competitive retail environment, having a reliable Point-of-Sale (POS) system is no longer optional — it’s essential. For businesses in the UAE retail and hospitality sectors, investing in the right POS hardware ensures seamless operations, accurate inventory tracking, and fast customer service. In this article, we’ll explore the essential POS hardware every store needs and how Barcode Links can help you set up a future-ready system.
Why a Robust POS System Matters
Whether you’re running a supermarket in Dubai or a boutique in Abu Dhabi, your POS system is the heart of your business. A well-integrated system not only speeds up transactions but also supports analytics, employee management, and customer relationship tools — all of which contribute to higher efficiency and better customer satisfaction.
1. POS Terminals
The POS terminal is the central component of any POS setup. It can be a touchscreen computer or an all-in-one system that includes a display, CPU, and operating software. Terminals from brands like Elo and Posiflex are popular in the UAE due to their durability and performance.

2. Receipt Printers
A reliable receipt printer is critical for customer proof-of-purchase and audit trails. In retail and F&B, thermal receipt printers like the Bixolon SRP-350plusIII or Epson TM-T20III are preferred for their speed and low maintenance.

3. Barcode Scanners
Efficient billing and inventory management require accurate barcode scanning. 2D barcode scanners, like the Datalogic QuickScan QD2500, are ideal for supermarkets, pharmacies, and fashion outlets.

4. Cash Drawers
Though many transactions are now digital, a secure cash drawer is still essential for handling cash payments. Ensure it's compatible with your POS system and has a strong locking mechanism.

5. Customer Displays and Pole Displays
Customer-facing displays help build trust and transparency by showing itemized billing during checkout. These are especially useful in high-volume retail environments.
6. Label and Barcode Printers
For businesses managing product SKUs, a dedicated label printer like the Zebra ZD220, TSC TE210 or Bixolon XD5-40T is necessary for tagging items accurately.
