Product Description
The Brecknell 6700U is a commercial POS weighing scale designed for food-safe, legal-for-trade use in catering and retail food environments. It connects via USB and is built to integrate with electronic cash registers, tablets, receipt printers, and broader point-of-sale systems, making it a practical choice where accurate weight-based pricing or portioning is part of daily service.
In a working kitchen or deli counter, the scale performs reliably under repeated use. The backlit LCD display is easy to read at a glance during busy periods, and the stainless steel weighing plate stands up well to the cleaning regimes expected in food environments. The built-in photo-eye tare function allows operators to initiate a tare cycle without touching the unit — a genuine practical advantage when hands are occupied or gloved during prep work.
Key operational advantages include:
- USB plug-and-play connectivity for straightforward POS integration
- Touchless tare via photo-eye sensor reduces cross-contamination risk
- Stainless steel plate supports thorough cleaning between uses
- Legal-for-trade approval for use in direct food sales
- Suitable for portion control, checkweighing, and basic counting functions
Installation is straightforward — the scale connects via USB and requires no specialist setup, though it is worth confirming compatibility with your existing POS software or till system before purchasing. The unit is compact and counter-mounted, so bench space requirements are modest. It is not designed for heavy industrial throughput or very high-capacity batch weighing, and operators with substantially larger volume requirements may find a heavier-duty platform scale more appropriate.
This scale is well suited to delis, butchers, market stalls, café prep areas, and smaller catering operations where accurate portion or sale weights need to feed directly into a till or records system. It also works well as a standalone prep scale where the touchless tare and easy-clean surface are the primary draw.
If you are unsure whether this model fits your POS setup or your expected throughput, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The 6700U connects via USB and is designed for broad POS compatibility, but integration depends on your specific till software supporting USB scale input. It is worth checking with your POS provider or speaking to us before purchasing if you are unsure — not all systems recognise scales automatically without configuration.
- Yes, the Brecknell 6700U is legal-for-trade approved, which means it meets the requirements for use in direct food sales where the weight determines the price. This is a requirement for any scale used at a point of sale in the UK.
- The built-in photo-eye sensor detects hand movement in front of the display and triggers a tare cycle without the operator needing to press a button. This is particularly useful during food prep or portioning when hands are gloved or in use, though the feature can be switched off if it is not required for your application.
