How to grow your payments app with food sellers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Food sellers serve many customers in short, busy bursts. Every second spent on change or a slow card machine is a customer lost. A fast, simple way to pay can win them over.
Understand the rush
Watch a stall or kitchen at a busy time and ask:
- How do customers pay today?
- What slows the queue down?
- How do they take orders for later or for events?
- How do they keep track of the day's takings?
Keep paying fast
A printed QR code customers can scan while they wait keeps the queue moving and removes the need for change.
Help with orders and events
Home cooks and caterers often take orders ahead. A payment link with the order and the amount makes it easy to collect before cooking.
Grow through markets and events
Food sellers meet each other at markets, festivals and events. A stall that pays out reliably is a strong recommendation to its neighbours.
