The Cost of Coercion: The Fight for Financial Autonomy in Hospitality

We all know that operating a business in hospitality can be tough and every dollar counts. From bustling cafés to cosy bistros, restaurant owners and operators are constantly striving to maximise their profits while delivering exceptional experiences to their guests. 

But what happens when the very tools meant to streamline operations end up handcuffing businesses, limiting their financial freedom and autonomy?

Picture this: you've poured your heart and soul into building your dream restaurant. You've meticulously crafted your menu, curated the perfect ambiance, and trained your staff to deliver fantastic service. But when it comes to choosing an EFTPOS payments provider, you find yourself at the mercy of your POS company.

Some POS companies are wielding their power to force their customers into using their internal EFTPOS solutions. This means that restaurant owners are stripped of their ability to explore alternative payment providers, negotiate better deals, and ultimately, save money. In an industry where margins are razor-thin and every cent counts, this lack of flexibility can spell disaster for some businesses.

Think about it: every dollar spent on excessive transaction fees or inflated rates is a dollar that could have been reinvested into your business.

Think about it: every dollar spent on excessive transaction fees or inflated rates is a dollar that could have been reinvested into your business. It could have gone towards sourcing premium ingredients, upgrading equipment, or even rewarding your hardworking staff. But instead, it ends up lining the pockets of POS companies, leaving hospitality businesses to scrape by with dwindling profits.

So, what does it mean for your business when you're forced to take the POS company's EFTPOS solution? It means relinquishing control over your finances, sacrificing your ability to shop around for the best deals, and settling for a one-size-fits-all solution that may not meet your specific needs.

But it doesn't have to be this way

Imagine the possibilities if you were granted the freedom to choose your own payments provider. Picture the savings you could accrue by negotiating competitive rates and customising your payment solutions to align with your business objectives. With financial autonomy comes the power to direct more of your hard-earned cash back into your own pocket – where it rightfully belongs.
