Flat Keyboard Machine For Hospitality

Built for Everyday Hospitality

Designed with cafés, pubs, social clubs, and small restaurants in mind, the CHD 3850 delivers the essentials that make day-to-day service smoother. Its compact design and flat keyboard layout make it especially suited to busy counters, limited spaces, and environments where fast, consistent operation matters most.

Direct Access with 50 Product Keys

The register features 50 direct PLU keys, giving instant access to your most commonly sold items.

Each PLU supports three price levels, perfect for venues offering variations such as member vs guest pricing, happy-hour specials, or different sizes.

Crisp, Effortless Receipt Printing

An integrated 57 mm thermal printer ensures clear, fast printing. The easy-load printer mechanism makes roll changes quick and frustration-free, while the auto-cutter delivers neatly finished receipts, a professional touch rarely found on compact cash registers.

Clear Operator & Customer Displays

The 240 × 128 pixel operator display shows the active transaction up to three previous items, allowing staff to check accuracy before finalising a sale.

On the customer side, a bright LED display clearly presents totals, helping maintain transparency at the counter.

Table & Transaction Management

Ideal for hospitality environments with table service, the CHD 3850 supports up to 50 tables and includes functions for table transfers and item corrections mid-transaction.

Multiple clerks can log in individually for tracking purposes.

However, the unit does not support clerk interrupt, meaning only one active transaction can be processed at a time, ensuring simplicity and preventing confusion in smaller venues.

Customisable & Easy to Program

The CHD 3850 gives you control over how your register operates. Every button on the flat keyboard can be custom-assigned to suit your preferred workflow, from product buttons and payment types to replacing unused functions entirely.

For setup and maintenance, a hidden QWERTY keyboard sits beneath the main panel, making text and name entry fast and effortless during programming. This eliminates the slow, multi-key text input that older tills required.

Programming and reporting are handled through on-screen menus, allowing you to navigate options step-by-step rather than remembering function codes. Whether adjusting prices, adding PLUs, or generating sales summaries, setup and daily management are straightforward.

Reliable, Straightforward Operation

The CHD 3850 runs embedded software designed for reliability and consistency, no operating system updates, crashes, or network dependencies. It’s the perfect choice for businesses wanting a dependable register that “just works.”
