NCR — The Company That Invented the Modern Cash Register
NCR (National Cash Register) didn't just enter the retail technology market — it created it. Founded by John H. Patterson in Dayton, Ohio in 1884, NCR spent its first century defining how the world handles transactions. From the first mechanical cash register to electronic POS in the 1980s, through barcode scanning, loyalty programs, and today's cloud-connected omnichannel systems — NCR has been the standard at every stage.
In 2023, NCR split into two sharply focused companies: NCR Voyix, dedicated exclusively to retail and hospitality software and hardware, and NCR Atleos, focused on ATM networks. This separation sharpened NCR Voyix's mission: build the most capable, reliable POS ecosystem for retailers of every size — from a single independent grocery to a national chain.
NCR introduced self-checkout to the world and remains the #1 global provider. For independent retailers looking to reduce labor costs without sacrificing customer experience, NCR's SCO terminals deliver proven ROI.
Real-time stock tracking, automated replenishment triggers, demand forecasting, and shrink control — purpose-built for grocery, convenience, and specialty retail environments.
One inventory, one customer record — across in-store, kiosk, mobile, and online. NCR bridges physical and digital retail in a way that smaller platforms simply cannot match.
NCR hardware is engineered for decades — not quarters. When a Kern County retailer invests in NCR through us, they're not on a 3-year replacement cycle. The durability, global support infrastructure, and brand recognition make NCR the benchmark for serious independent retailers.
Oracle / Micros — The Gold Standard for Restaurants & Hospitality
Nearly twenty years ago, Bakersfield Cash Register began a journey to find the absolute best POS experience available for our restaurant and hospitality customers. After thorough evaluation, we found our home with MICROS — industry-leading hardware and software designed and built for each other. The enduring ideals of premium quality, durability, and powerful features have served us and our customers exceedingly well ever since.
When Oracle acquired MICROS in 2014, they didn't just inherit a product — they elevated it into the Oracle Cloud infrastructure. Today, Oracle MICROS Simphony is the most capable cloud-based POS in the hospitality industry. Ghost kitchens, delivery aggregators, QR codes, NFC, tableside ordering — all managed from one platform. Your data lives in Oracle Cloud: available from any phone, tablet, or PC, anywhere in the world.
Even during internet outages, Simphony keeps running. Every transaction, every order — fully operational. When connectivity returns, everything syncs automatically. No more crossed fingers at the start of a shift.
Oracle MICROS terminals survive heat, moisture, grease, and drops. No more replacing cheap consumer tablets every 18 months. Hardware that outlasts its warranty — by years. The front line and the kitchen, covered.
Pull up a ticket, check labor costs, schedule menu price changes for next week — all from your phone. Schedule updates beforehand so you can be active in the present, not working two jobs at once.
"Simphony Cloud by Oracle means I can access and manage my company's data from anywhere at any time. With the 24/7 support provided by Bakersfield Cash Register and Simphony's flexibility and scalability, I am able to control my menus, labor and cost of business as it continues to grow."
— Sergio Herrera, Owner · General's Headquarters · Implemented April 2023Full-service restaurants, quick-service, food trucks, ghost kitchens, bars, and any hospitality business that cannot afford downtime, order errors, or imprecise labor data.
OPTIMA — Powerful POS Without the Monthly Bill
OPTIMA reimagines what a modern POS system should be for independent retailers. Built on Android with their proprietary GoPos software, OPTIMA delivers enterprise-capable point-of-sale features — without cloud dependency, recurring subscription fees, or Vendor lock-in. You buy it. You own it. You control it.
From a 6-inch handheld unit with built-in printer for food trucks to a full 15-inch touchscreen station for a liquor store, OPTIMA's hardware is purpose-built for versatility. Multiple terminals with different form factors can be deployed across a single location — all running the same GoPossoftware platform, all managed uniformly by Bakersfield Cash Register.
Most POS providers charge $100–$300/month in software fees indefinitely. OPTIMA is a one-time purchase. No ongoing fees, no surprise price increases, no hostage situations. Bundles start at $499.
OPTIMA stores all transaction data locally. You don't need internet to run cash transactions — an outage doesn't stop your business. Full ownership and control over your business data, always.
Liquor stores, smoke shops, convenience stores, quick-service restaurants, bars, and nightclubs — OPTIMA is configured for each industry specifically, not adapted from an enterprise platform designed for someone else.
For independent retailers who want modern Android hardware without a monthly subscription, OPTIMA is the honest answer. We configure, install, and support every system locally — no call centers, no ticket queues.
LOC Software — The Deepest Platform for Convenience & Grocery
LOC Software has spent 35+ years building the most operationally complete POS and back-office platform for convenience stores, grocery retailers, pharmacies, and specialty retail. No other platform in this category has their depth of built-in functionality: fuel management, lottery compliance, age verification, direct store delivery (DSD), computer-assisted ordering — all native, not add-ons.
In March 2024, LOC launched ThriVersA — a next-generation, browser-based, hardware-agnostic platform that modernizes their industry-leading Store Management Suite. ThriVersA is modular: retailers select only the components they need today, and can activate eCommerce, self-checkout, loyalty, or supply chain management as their business grows — without switching platforms or retraining staff.
Fuel management, lottery sales integration, tobacco/alcohol age verification, prepared food tracking, and DSD receiving — all in one unified system. Not assembled from multiple vendors. Built as one.
Pay for the modules that matter to your business today. As you grow, activate eCommerce, self-checkout, loyalty programs, or supply chain features — no platform migration, no retraining, no chaos.
Full control of your data. Real-time margin reporting, labor analysis, inventory turns, and consumer trend tracking — the kind of operational insight that gives independent retailers the same edge as national chains.
Convenience stores, gas station retailers, small grocers, and specialty retailers who need fuel integration, lottery compliance, and age verification built into one platform — not pieced together.
