Butchers card machine questions
Can it handle a £60 Christmas turkey order?
Yes. There's no cap on individual transaction size, so a large festive order goes through the same as a £5 pack of sausages.
What happens if the shop WiFi goes down?
The machine switches to its built in 4G automatically, so a router fault doesn't stop you serving the Saturday queue.
Do we pay anything if trade is quiet in January?
No. It's no use no bill, so a slow week after Christmas doesn't cost you a fixed rental fee.
Is there a contract we're locked into?
Yes, it's an 18 month agreement, but there are no early exit fees if your shop closes or changes hands.
Can we add a machine for the market stall?
Yes, additional terminals are £14 a month each, useful if you run a Saturday farmers market pitch alongside the shop.
