IS-IT--Management
A store manager of ours in a college town made an interesting observation about credit card usage in his Aloha system. He noticed cards being used to buy a beer at a time, 5 times in an night. Students didn't keep tabs open- they would just rather pay as they go.
With the per swipe transaction fees, and then multiplying it by many students, it adds up to be quite a bit after a while.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a SYSTEM solution for this. Human solutions- trying to enforce a minimum, etc, were too difficult in the chaos of a crowded college bar. I do think Aloha has ability to enforce minimums, but again, I know they usually violate the merchant agreement and just unnecessarily annoy customers.
Giving some kind of a discount for cash was also considered, but I'm not sure how that would work yet.
Anyway, I'm open to all suggestions here. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas of observations.
