Bakeries Success Stories

When we caught up with Jim, the owner of Gwynneville Bakery in Wollongong, he was doing something he rarely did before: taking a break. It was something he could now afford to do since Zero Cost™ EFTPOS had put the brakes on his EFTPOS fees.

At The Semaphore Bakehouse in Adelaide, it wasn’t just bakers and bread rising every day. It was the bakery’s EFTPOS fees too. “During Covid, we noticed more customers paying with their cards and mobile phones and our fees started to increase significantly,” says owner Terry. That was something Terry was determined to change.

Pastries and bread should rise in a bakery, not bank EFTPOS fees. And that’s exactly why Mark, the owner for Ferguson Plarre Bakehouse franchise at Taylors Lake, found himself hunting for a new EFTPOS solution that would suit a busy franchise business that needed to operate on tight margins. What he needed was a solution that would save him time and money, was easy to set up, and one that would also keep his customers happy.

Bakers might love customers tucking into their fresh bread – but they’re not OK with their bank taking bites out of their profits. For Steven, who owns three Bakers Delight franchises, his bank's appetite for card fees was the reason for changing his EFTPOS solution. It's a move he's happy he made, he says. "I switched to Zero Cost EFTPOS from Smartpay, and the impact was immediate."
