I am looking for software and hardware that for work well in a small single screener. Or would you just go the old fashion route? I would like reporting and such on the PC, but could do the paperwork without it. All the places I have worked at don't use computers for POS (local small indoors and some drive-ins) so I don't have any first hand knowlage of what's out there. I have been on the net looking, but screen shots and descriptions alone aren't enough to make an informed decision. Here's my wish/needs list:Touch Screen Easy to Read/Use Stable Don't cost a fortune I don't think I'm being unreasonable. If anyone could help point me in the right direction or give any help, i'd be thankful. --Thanks in Advance --Chris

There are 3 of us catering to the lower to middle price range. Each system has its good points and each is designed from a different aspect.I like to make a sale now and then, but truthfully, what you want is overkill for a theatre that size. For a small single screen you are probably better off with a cast off automaticket, a cheap cash register, and an old PC with Star Office loaded for the spreadsheet reporting capabilities. Spend a few hours learning how to make templates, and you'll be fine. Anyone running a single or twin is usually looking for something to do to keep from being bored out of their skull. Been there/done that. Anyway, the systems are Tim Harvey Ticketing at www.TheatreSupport.com (I need to update the site, but I've got programming to do first.) Sensible Cinema is Rusty Gordon's system. www.SensibleCinema.com Ready Software is Bob Chabot's system. I forget his web address, anyone got it? I think Rob's software has touch screen capabilities. Email me if you want more info. I try not to push my software on the forums.
