When Maria O'Brien opened The Corner Brew in Dublin's city center, she never imagined payment processing would become her biggest headache—or her greatest opportunity for growth.
The Challenge
"We were losing customers during lunch rush," Maria explains. "Our card terminal was slow, sometimes it would crash, and the queue would build up. People would actually leave without buying anything."
The café was also struggling with high processing fees eating into already thin margins on small purchases like coffee and pastries.
The FacePOS Solution
After hearing about FacePOS from a fellow business owner, Maria decided to give it a try. "The setup took literally 10 minutes. No hardware to install, no complicated training. My staff loved how simple it was."
The Results
Within three months, The Corner Brew saw remarkable changes:
- 23% increase in sales: Faster checkout meant serving more customers during peak hours
- €350 monthly savings: Lower transaction fees, especially on small purchases
- 40% faster transactions: Customers love the quick payment process
- Zero downtime: No more crashed terminals or failed payments
Customer Reaction
"Our regular customers actually mention how easy it is to pay now," Maria says. "Some of them have started using FacePOS at other businesses too. It's become a conversation starter."
The Monthly Draw Bonus
An unexpected benefit was the FacePOS monthly draw. "Customers get excited about the chance to win. It's free marketing for us—they tell their friends about paying with FacePOS at our café."
Advice for Other Businesses
"Don't wait like I did," Maria advises. "The transition was painless, and the impact on our business has been huge. We're serving more customers, saving money, and everyone's happier. What's not to love?"
