• a support pole coupled to the mobile checklane structure and extending from a top surface of a countertop along an axis and terminating at a top end;
• a mobile computing device mounted to the support pole and having a display screen;
• a printer mounted to the support pole and in data communication with the mobile computing device;
• wherein the power source is electrically coupled to and powers the mobile computing device and the printer through at least one conductor that runs inside the support pole;
• and
• wherein the mobile computing device and the printer together swing in concurrence about the axis of the support pole to orient the display screen of the mobile computing device and a front of the printer at various positions about the axis of the support pole for user access.

A method of configuring a mobile point-of-sale system comprising:

• moving a mobile point-of-sale system to a desired location, the mobile point-of-sale system including a frame, a countertop, a support pole extending from a top surface of the countertop along an axis and a power source located within the frame;
• powering-on a mobile computing device having a display screen and powering-on a printer that is in data communication with the mobile computing device, the mobile computing device and the printer are both mounted to different portions of the support pole and are coupled to and powered by the power source through at least one conductor that is located inside the support pole;
• and
• selectively adjusting a position of the mobile computing device and the printer depending on a side of the mobile point-of-sale system where user access is needed, wherein the mobile computing device and the printer swing together about the axis of the support pole.
