POS System Companies & Dealers in Altadena, CA

Calbiz POS Solutions, listed in this directory as Calbiz Supplies, is a point-of-sale and cash register dealer that works with independent business owners across Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside Counties in Southern California. The company says it has been serving local merchants since 1997, which gives it a long track record in a market where many equipment sellers come and go. Its focus is on helping restaurant and store owners choose registers, POS software and payment tools that suit the way they actually trade.

Rather than pushing a single platform, the dealer presents several options and lets the buyer decide. Its current lineup covers three POS families plus traditional registers, so a business can step up from a basic till to a full touchscreen system without changing supplier.

• SpotOn POS, a fully integrated system aimed at restaurants, covering ordering, inventory, online ordering, loyalty programs and payments.
• NCC Reflection, a system for restaurants and retail that is described as able to keep working without an internet connection and without monthly fees.
• Sam4POS, which combines a touchscreen with the dependability of a conventional register, also offline-capable and without monthly fees.
• Sam4s cash registers, for shops that need a dependable register rather than a full POS, with optional scanners, scales and integrated payments.

Who they serve

The dealer's site speaks mainly to restaurants, retail stores, grocery and liquor stores, bakeries and food trucks, and its FAQ also mentions salons and other service businesses. Food truck operators are given their own section, reflecting the need for fast, stable checkout when parked at a curb. Retail buyers are pointed to registers, NCC Reflection or Sam4POS depending on how complex their workflow is.

How they work

Buyers can request a free demonstration by phone before committing. According to the company, its team handles full installation, configuration and hands-on training so that staff feel comfortable at the counter. It says it can often integrate with a customer's existing hardware and third-party applications, which may help businesses that do not want to replace everything at once.

After the sale, the company offers ongoing technical support, maintenance and troubleshooting, delivered on site or remotely. Payment processing is part of the offer too, from a simple stand-alone card terminal to semi-integrated setups tied to registers, NCC Reflection or Sam4POS, as well as the fully integrated SpotOn option. Flexible payment, financing and leasing arrangements are also available for businesses that prefer to spread the cost of an upgrade. The website is offered in English and Spanish, which is useful for the region's many Spanish-speaking owners.

For buyers comparing local dealers, the main points are the long operating history, the choice between subscription-style and no-monthly-fee systems, and the combination of hardware, software, payments and support from one source. The earlier profile also mentioned programming and repair of registers and kitchen printers, which fits with the company's emphasis on service after installation. Buyers should confirm current service details directly with the company.
