As a side note, I wonder if businesses won't even accept cash if they can't go through their POS system. If not, it's a shame that these modern internet connected POSs lock out stuff like that.
- inconceivable 3y agosome restaurants have their owner or manager run square or stripe on their cell phone.
- xyst 3y agoI don’t know about Stripe but Square used to offer the CC swipe dongle you can connect to your phone. Then process payments through their app
- JoBrad 3y agoI was at a swim meet last week, and one of the food trucks was using Apple Tap to Pay because Toast didn't have a solution that worked for them, on site. After they finish up at an area, they then enter a single transaction for all of the day's business into Toast.
- p_l 3y agoDepending on country and exact POS setup, they might not be able to take cash if POS is down. For example, in Poland, your typical restaurant or shop needs to generate tax receipt (as well as properly calculate the tax), and uses either a separate receipt POS device, or POS with appropriate receipt printer (the devices are certified and for example do simultaneous two prints - one for client one for seller - or use digitally-signed storage for seller copy). If the POS isn't designed properly to operate in case of network failure... welp, can't take cash either, at least not legally.
