One idea is to print qr codes on coffee cups: customers can scan those and leave anonymous feedback later.
- jacktribe 4y agoTaxes are included. We might do the QR for customers that did not order using the app on their phone. We're printing stickers anyway, using the Star Micronics SDK which makes QR code printing a breeze.
- anonymouse008 4y agoGotta say, love seeing the 'hack on my own rig' mentality applied to coffee shops. Curious to know how your culture views to-go orders? Based on the YouTube short (place looks awesome btw), I don't think the vibe is grab and go - but if it is, how are you handling the tickets? Just a separate Star for the togos? Nice getting that working, too - I'm stuck in a regional rep loop trying to get access to ours.
- jacktribe 4y agoRoughly half of the customers do head out as soon as the order is ready, especially in the morning. We print stickers regardless of to-stay or to-go because it helps us keep track of fulfilled items, and you can easily pass a sticker to a colleague if you need help with an order.
- oefrha 4y ago> If you show the full price with taxes upfront, that's an astonishing level of integrity. It’s funny, what you see is what you pay doesn’t require an astonishing level of integrity in much (most?) of the world, it’s just standard practice; instead, tacking on hidden fees not on the price tag would be unthinkable.
- TylerE 4y agoIt’s really complicated in the US because we charge about 4 different kinds of sales tax (federal, state, county, city), and differing rates depending on the type of good, or even the time of year. So like a chain store can’t include taxes in things like print ads because you could have two locations a few blocks apart that literally have different tax.
- jerrybender 4y agoThe US levies no federal sales tax.
- TylerE 4y agoNot on general sales, but things that are functionally sales tax exist for things such as fuel and tobacco products.
- ciupicri 4y agoThough the stores themselves should display the final price, the one that you pay at the register.
- alex7734 4y agoNot just standard practice, it's mandatory, for consumer facing prices you will get shut down if you don't include tax in it (and detail how much of it is tax in the receipt)
