How integrated EFTPOS helps Alex's business

“We chose Presto Smart because it integrates with our POS seamlessly. User error is no longer a problem, transaction speed has gone up, and it just makes life a lot easier."

Alex, co-owner of Dachshund Coffee

My name's Alex Williams. I co-founded Dachshund Coffee with my twin brother. We've been in business for seven years, and the main reason for starting it was because we love people and we love food. The reason we called our business Dachshund Coffee was because we were looking for something fun and memorable.

So, before we got Presto Smart, we'd often experience staff members incorrectly putting in the wrong amount, either overcharging or undercharging. We had to manually reconcile. That made the process a little bit more clunky, and user error happened when doing that. Now that we have it automatically reconciled, it makes the process a lot smoother.  

We chose Presto Smart because it integrated with (our) Kounta (point of sale system) seamlessly. A transaction example would be a customer coming to order a coffee. I select the coffee in the point of sale, I then hit the Presto Smart button. The information gets sent to the terminal and the customer taps their card. I give them their coffee and the transaction is completed.

The benefits of integration are that user error's no longer a problem; transaction speed has gone up; and it just makes life a lot easier. On Saturdays when it's really busy, not having to key the details into the EFTPOS terminal saves us time and allows us to serve more customers quickly. 

We collect 75% of our transactions via card. For that reason, we need a reliable terminal and Westpac offers that. Another reason we switched to Westpac was the pricing structure that they offered. When we compared it to what we were paying previously, it was a lot better. Dealing with the Westpac sales team was fantastic. Very easy, seamless. They got us on board really quickly with very little paperwork.

The advice that we give to business owners is to think about how they use their time. Technology has enabled me to be more productive and has increased efficiencies within our business.
