Minota Cash Drawers


Delivering reliable performance and consistent quality, the Minota cash drawer provides a cost-friendly cash management solution for light cash-use environments. The Minota cash drawer is practical, easy to use, and straight-forward; enabling your business to maximize efficiency throughout the checkout process and spend more time creating a positive and memorable experience for your customers.

Built specifically for low cash-transaction environments, the Minota is designed for small to medium-sized businesses. Retailers who operate a coffee shop, kiosk, or food truck are examples of a perfect fit for this line of entry-level solutions. If you’re looking to uncomplicate the checkout process, provide customers payment versatility at the counter, and keep your staff focused on building life-long customer relationships, you’re in the right place.

Two models of the drawer are available: a plastic-mold injected model and a folded steel model. The Plastic model is tested to withstand 500,000 open-and-close cycles before failure and features a built-in till that cannot be removed without taking out the entire drawer assembly. The folded steel model is rated to withstand 750,000 open-and-close cycles and features a removable till that's compatible with all  APG Vasario tills and till accessories (minus the under-counter mounting brackets).

APG Minota Reviews

POSGuys Rating:

The Minota Cash Drawer offers a step up from the Arlo while remaining a budget-friendly, entry-level choice. It is available in two models: a plastic-molded version rated for 500,000 transactions at 4 lbs, and a folded steel version rated for 750,000 transactions at 4 lbs.

By expanding APG’s entry-level lineup, the Minota provides businesses with more affordable options. However, as with the Arlo, we recommend a “buy right, buy once” approach for long-term value. For greater durability, enhanced features, and a longer service life, consider upgrading to APG’s Medium-Duty Vasario Series. With a 1,000,000 transaction rating at 6 lbs, a 3-year warranty, and an all-metal construction, the Vasario delivers superior performance while remaining cost-effective over time.
