Product Description
The Brecknell 6700U is a compact, legal-for-trade weighing scale designed for food service and point-of-sale environments. It connects via USB and is recognised as a plug-and-play device by most modern POS systems, electronic cash registers, tablets, and receipt printers, making it a practical choice for operators who need accurate weight data to feed directly into a sales or stock management workflow.
In day-to-day service, the scale handles portion control, checkweighing, and basic counting reliably. The backlit LCD display gives a clear reading in busy or low-light prep areas. One of the more useful features for high-throughput prep work is the built-in photo-eye tare: a hand movement in front of the display triggers the tare function without touching the scale, which helps maintain hygiene and keeps the workflow moving when operators are handling food continuously.
Practical benefits for kitchen and counter use include:
- Legal-for-trade certification — suitable for selling goods by weight
- Touchless tare via photo-eye sensor — supports clean, uninterrupted prep
- USB plug-and-play connectivity — integrates with most POS setups without additional drivers
- 304 stainless steel weighing platform — hygienic, easy to wipe down, and resistant to food acids
- Dual-range weighing — finer resolution at lower weights, useful for precise portioning
Installation requirements are minimal. The scale connects via a standard USB port and requires no specialist setup. The stainless steel platform is removable for cleaning. It is worth noting that at 3kg capacity, this model is suited to portioning and counter sales rather than bulk weighing — operators handling larger batch weights regularly should consider a higher-capacity model from the range.
This scale is well suited to delis, butchers, cafés, and food-to-go counters where weight-based pricing is used at the point of sale, as well as to kitchen prep stations where consistent portioning matters. It is a practical fit for smaller independent operations and for secondary weighing points in larger kitchens.
If you are unsure whether the 3kg capacity fits your operation, or you need guidance on POS compatibility with your existing system, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the 6700U is legal-for-trade certified, which means it meets the requirements for use in commercial environments where goods are priced and sold by weight. If your operation involves both fine portioning and heavier batch weighing, it is worth checking whether the 3kg capacity covers your full range of tasks.
- The scale uses a standard USB interface and is recognised as a plug-and-play HID device by most operating systems, which means it will typically work with common POS software without needing additional drivers. It is worth confirming compatibility with your specific POS platform before purchasing, particularly if you are running a more bespoke or older system.
- The built-in photo-eye sensor detects hand movement in front of the display and triggers the tare function automatically, so operators do not need to press a button between portions. This is particularly useful in prep environments where hands are frequently in contact with food and keeping the scale surface uncontaminated matters.
