Product Description
The Brecknell 6700U is a compact, counter-mounted weighing scale designed for legal-for-trade use in food retail and catering environments. It connects via USB and is built to communicate directly with electronic tills, tablets, receipt printers, and broader point-of-sale systems, making it a practical choice wherever weight-based pricing or portion recording forms part of daily service.
In a working deli counter or café prep area, the scale holds up reliably under repeated daily use. The backlit LCD display reads clearly at a glance during busy periods, and the stainless steel weighing plate tolerates the routine cleaning regimes expected in food-safe environments. A standout practical feature is the built-in photo-eye tare function, which allows operators to trigger a tare cycle without touching the unit — a genuine advantage when hands are gloved or occupied during portioning work, and one that reduces the risk of cross-contamination at the point of weighing.
- USB plug-and-play connectivity for straightforward POS system integration
- Touchless photo-eye tare reduces contact and cross-contamination risk
- Legal-for-trade approved for direct food sales and checkweighing
- Stainless steel plate supports thorough cleaning between uses
- Suitable for portion control, price-by-weight sales, and basic counting
Setup is straightforward — the scale connects via USB with no specialist installation required. That said, it is worth confirming compatibility with your existing POS software before ordering, as till integrations vary. The unit is compact enough that bench space demands are modest, though as with any counter scale it should sit on a stable, level surface for accurate readings. It is not intended for high-volume batch weighing or heavy industrial throughput; operations with significantly larger capacity needs would be better served by a heavier-duty platform scale.
This scale is well suited to delis, butchers, market stalls, farm shops, café prep stations, and smaller catering operations where accurate 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 requirements.
If you want to check whether the 6700U will work with your current till setup or talk through whether the capacity suits your service, the team is glad to help before you place an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The scale connects via USB and is designed to integrate with a wide range of electronic cash registers, tablet-based POS systems, and receipt printers. However, compatibility depends on your specific software, so it is worth checking with your POS provider or speaking to us before ordering to avoid any integration issues.
- Yes, the 6700U carries legal-for-trade approval, which means it can be used in direct food sales where the weight determines the price charged to the customer — as required in a deli, butcher, or farm shop setting.
- The photo-eye sensor detects movement near the scale and initiates a tare cycle automatically, without the operator needing to press a button. This is particularly useful during prep or counter service when hands are gloved, wet, or holding product, helping to maintain hygiene and keep workflow moving.
