Re: Business in a Box
#2Looks great, but seems to imply that the cash register doesn't open automatically if you don't buy a printer, which rather ruins the paperless option.
It might be a good business idea to create a simple piece of hardware that does the opening if Square doesn't release one soon – hell, the hardware could just be a broken printer by the sound of it.
But very cool ephemeralisation none-the-less.

#3Why is a receipt printer $300? Just curious.

Where does it imply that?

"Open wirelessly from your iPad when paired with a receipt printer, as included in the Printing package."
It likely doesn't open the register for cash unless there is a receipt to prevent employee fraud.

#6The design is great. Even though I don't have a brick and mortar store, it kinda makes me want to buy one, inexplicably.
I wonder how many other things you can sell like this, an all-in-one box, that doesn't smell cheap, like a 10-in-1 games CD?
The best thing I can think of right now is 'gardening in a box'. I wonder what 'startup in a box' looks like.

Presumably because it needs to work, over and over and over again, and not really break down ever.

#9This is fantastic. The POS space has needed massive disruption for decades. Kill the dinosaurs!

The ease of adding graphics and novelty information to the receipt inside the printer, wireless, cutting hardware, rate of printing are a few things that come to mind.
Its proprietary hardware in a sense.
