Money POS Systems

POS stands for POINT OF SALE btw, you smartasses.

Okay Planeteers,

I'm back for another advice session. My wife has a small retail business that also involves custom projects for people. We're needing a better POS system (currently we handwrite receipts and do almost no inventory tracking) in order to get a better handle on things. We use QB for our accounting, so we're currently looking at QB POS system. A fellow retail store owner we know uses it and has no complaints. But in reading about it online, the reviews were awful.

Now I'm second guessing getting QB POS and looking into other options. Anyone have first hand experience?

Needs:
* Inventory tracking
* Speedy checkout (bar code scanning)
* Ability to track and bill custom orders
* Printing bar codes for inventory
* Integration with QB
* Handling of cash drawer

Wants:
* Payroll tracking (we use PayChex to handle our payroll for us)
* Remote access

Probably other stuff we need/want, and we just don't even realize it. So yeah.. I'm here again, CP, hat over heart, asking for advice.
