In the year 1879, James Ritty invented the world’s first cash register to prevent theft by employees. In the year 1883, the Ritty cash register model received the patent from him. Overwhelmed by the businesses he operated, Ritty sold the cash register to JH Eckert in 1884. Eckert in turn sold the business to JH Patterson in the same year. The company was then renamed The National Cash Register Company. To record sales, Patterson added rolls of paper, resulting in the creation of receipts.
CF Kettering, an employee of The National Cash Register Company, created the motorized cash register in 1906.
