Payment solutions that fit your hospitality concept
Arranging payments may not be the first thing you think about when you run or start a hospitality business. Still, it's an important part of your business. If the payment process doesn't run smoothly, it affects the customer experience. So make sure you choose the right payment terminals and that your payment strategy aligns with your online options, for example if you have an online store.
Where will you accept payments?
Your location determines which equipment works best. In hospitality, many business owners choose mobile payment terminals, often combined with a fixed terminal. A mobile payment terminal lets you take payments wherever you need to. A fixed, wired terminal has its own advantages: no hassle with charging and always a set spot on the counter. Still, guests often prefer to pay right at the table rather than at a fixed counter. That's why mobile terminals are usually the foundation in hospitality.
Look beyond appearance
Business owners often look at the purchase price and how the terminal looks first. The technical options matter much more. They determine how long the certification remains valid. This is important because the certification shows when you can no longer use the terminal due to outdated or insecure technology. The newer the technology, the longer the terminal lasts. At Buckaroo, the Android terminals are more future-proof because you can install apps on them. These apps let you connect systems with each other, for example for inventory management and staff scheduling in the future. Finally, transaction fees matter. Some providers sell terminals that seem much cheaper than those of other providers but cost more in the long run. That's because they charge a percentage of your revenue instead of a fixed amount per transaction.

Accept credit cards?
When guests want to pay, they often prefer a specific payment method. Most people usually pay by debit card, but credit card payments are becoming more common. Think of tourists who don't have a debit card. Buckaroo offers competitive rates for accepting Mastercard, Visa and Amex credit card payments on your payment terminal. That way, your guests can pay with the payment methods they prefer. Loyalty programs on credit cards also encourage their use, which makes it more likely that guests will choose this payment option.
Combine in-person and online payments
In hospitality, online and offline payment systems are increasingly connected. Think of a reservation that is paid online in advance. More and more businesses also have an online sales channel for products or tickets, for example. It's important to keep track of all your payment flows. What comes in online through your online store, and what is paid on location? Sometimes a payment is made partly online and partly on location. For example, a deposit for a reservation through your website, with the remaining amount paid on location. Fortunately, there are plenty of systems that make it easy to combine this in an omnichannel setup.
How Wispe brewery uses omnichannel payments
A great example of a business that handles both online payments and in-person payments is Wispe brewery. It's a versatile hospitality concept where craftsmanship, guest experience and local identity come together. From beer tastings and tours to comedy nights and dinners, everything revolves around the overall experience. And the payment process plays an important role in that experience. With an online store, among other things, they expanded their brand digitally.
