Key takeaways

  • A scale everyone trusts
  • Faster serving
  • Meat in, money out
  • Clean cash handling

01What owners tell you

In a butchery the price changes with the weight, and customers watch the scale closely. Trust is built on a number everyone can see.

  • Weight and price are worked out by hand and mistakes happen.
  • Customers doubt the scale and the total.
  • Cash is handled with messy hands and counted late.
  • The owner cannot see how much meat is sold versus bought.
  • Credit customers are in a notebook.

02The words that sell

Owners do not buy equipment. They buy the day they want to have. These are the outcomes to talk about when you pitch a POS to butchery.

A scale everyone trustsWeight, price per kilo and total shown to the customer.
Faster servingNo hand calculations, so the line moves.
Meat in, money outCompare what you buy to what you sell.
Clean cash handlingA drawer and a printer keep hands clean.

03Say it like this

Short, plain lines work best. Use them as they are or put them in your own words.

  • “Your customer sees the weight, the price per kilo and the total on the display.”
  • “You will know how much meat you sold against how much you bought.”
  • “Your cashier never works out a total by hand again.”
  • “Your credit customers are listed once with their balance.”

04Your 30-second pitch

Say this when you have the owner's attention at the counter. Stop after the question and let them answer.

Key takeaway“Your customer sees the weight, the price per kilo and the total on the display. You will know how much meat you sold against how much you bought. Your cashier never works out a total by hand again. Can I measure your counters this week and send you a written quote?”

The owner saysYou answer
The old scale works fine.The new one calculates the price, so no hand mistakes.
My hands are dirty.Use a touch screen with a wipe cover or a foot-reachable drawer.
Customers only trust the scale.That is why the price-computing scale shows them the total.
