What is a specialty till?

A specialty till refers to a point-of-sale system that is not situated at the front end of the store. These specialty tills often serve specific functions or departments, such as self-checkouts, kiosks, or registers devised for particular services or product categories that may not rely on traditional front end cash registers. This differentiation enables retailers to manage and streamline various aspects of transactions that occur away from the typical checkout areas.

The other options describe aspects of point-of-sale systems or their functions but do not accurately capture the essence of what a specialty till is. For instance, referring to it as strictly a type of cash register or an advanced register may suggest its primary location or technology focus, rather than its specific role of facilitating transactions in a specialized context typically away from the main checkout lanes.
