Product Description
The Brecknell 6700U is a compact USB-connected weighing scale built for food service and point-of-sale environments. It is legal-for-trade certified, making it suitable for operations that sell goods by weight, and connects to most modern POS systems, electronic cash registers, and tablets as a plug-and-play device without requiring additional drivers or specialist configuration.
In day-to-day use the scale handles portion control, counter sales, and checkweighing reliably. The backlit LCD display gives a clear reading in busy prep areas or lower-light counter environments. A practical feature for continuous prep work is the built-in photo-eye tare: passing a hand in front of the sensor triggers the tare function without touching the unit, which keeps workflow moving and reduces contact with the scale surface during food handling.
Key operational benefits include:
- Legal-for-trade certification — suitable for selling goods by weight at the counter
- Touchless photo-eye tare — supports hygienic, uninterrupted prep workflow
- USB plug-and-play connectivity — integrates with most POS setups without additional drivers
- Stainless steel weighing platform — easy to wipe down and resistant to food acids
- Dual-range weighing — finer resolution at lower weights for more precise portioning
Setup requirements are minimal. The scale connects via a standard USB port, and the stainless steel platform is removable for cleaning. The 3kg capacity makes it well suited to portioning and counter sales rather than bulk or batch weighing — operators who regularly handle larger batch weights would be better served by a higher-capacity model.
This scale is a practical choice for delis, butchers, cafés, and food-to-go counters where weight-based pricing is used at point of sale, as well as for prep stations where consistent portioning is part of the daily routine. It fits well in smaller independent operations and as a secondary weighing point in larger kitchens.
If you want to check POS compatibility with your existing setup, or are weighing up whether the 3kg capacity is the right fit for your operation, the team is glad to have that conversation before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The 6700U uses standard USB HID communication, which means most modern POS systems, tablets, and electronic cash registers recognise it as a plug-and-play device without needing additional drivers. If your POS software requires a specific scale protocol or serial connection, it is worth confirming compatibility before ordering — the team can help you check this.
- For portioning individual items, counter sales, and checkweighing, 3kg is typically adequate for a deli, café, or food-to-go operation. If your workflow regularly involves weighing larger batch quantities or bulk ingredients, a higher-capacity model from the range would be more appropriate.
- A sensor on the front of the display detects hand movement and triggers the tare function automatically, so operators do not need to press a button between portions. This is particularly useful during continuous prep work where maintaining hygiene and keeping pace with service both matter.
