The digital cash receipt

The Swiss restaurant industry is not having an easy time of it at the moment. Now that the consequences of Corona have largely been overcome, there is an acute shortage of staff everywhere. There are nine percent fewer employees working in the industry than before the pandemic, and the guest often gets a raw deal - if there is a shortage of staff, all the more so. This is where the digital till receipt from Vendomat AG comes into play.

A digital solution for acute staff shortages

But how can the shortage of staff be countered when the labor market is virtually empty? Then other solutions are needed to relieve service staff of routine tasks and free them up to look after guests. This is where the digital till receipt from Vendomat AG comes into play. The digital cash register receipt in combination with a digital cash register system drastically shortens the running times of service personnel. Such running times are real time-eaters - the potential time savings are correspondingly large. As a result, thanks to the iPad cash register and digital till receipt, there is significantly more time left over for "real" guest service.

In the classic "billing" service process, a service employee runs back and forth up to six times until the entire process from the info invoice to the actual invoice receipt has been completed. If a digital iPad cash register is used, the running times can already be halved and with the digital cash register receipt there is only one running process. This saves time and leaves more time for customer care, recommendations and, last but not least, the generation of additional sales.

The operating principle of the digital cash register receipt is simple. After the payment process, the receipt is automatically digitized. The additional software takes care of this. The receipt appears together with a QR code on the customer display at the checkout or on the iPadMini. The guest can now decide whether to transfer the receipt to his smartphone using QR code scanning or have it sent to him by e-mail. Of course, it is also possible to do without the receipt - no different than with paper receipts.

No registration is required for the scanning process, and no special app is needed. Guests can therefore be sure that they do not disclose any of their personal data during the digital checkout process. This is important for the acceptance of the system. In any case, the digital receipt is legally compliant and fully complies with the receipt obligation. The invoice data is stored and is available for processing in accounting via digital archiving.

Environmentally friendly, because it's paperless - that's the digital cash register receipt

In addition to reducing the workload on staff, the digital receipt also has a positive environmental effect - simply because it saves a huge amount of paper. Conventional receipt production usually uses thermal paper - a special paper that, thanks to an included color developer, ensures the black color of the receipt text in a chemical reaction under the influence of temperature. Not only does paper production leave a carbon footprint, the color developer bisphenol often used is considered an environmentally critical substance.

Even smaller restaurants can have hundreds of receipts in their daily business. Since it is paperless, the digital receipt generates zero paper waste. It follows logically that it is environmentally friendly and climate-friendly.
