Ensuring a safe and efficient environment is a top priority for ports. Where some staff face restrictions on carrying personal belongings and shift patterns mean large numbers of staff take their breaks at the same time, offering an efficient payment system without the need for cash is a major benefit. GiroVend cashless payment solutions offer a simple and efficient alternative to cash payments, offering a single card solution which can also support identification or access control, among other applications. The ease and efficiency of cashless payments encourage staff to use on-site catering facilities as they spend less time queuing and are able to better utilise their breaks.
Ports often experience high numbers of visitors and contractors to site. Multiple pricing groups can be set up on the cards, allowing staff, visitors and contractors to all have varying price bands, identified by their card. This option also allows for subsidies to be added to individual or group card holders either as a points or bonus scheme.
Efficiencies are also passed on to the caterer as a comprehensive range of simple reports are available identifying busy transaction periods, popular menu choices and buying trends, supporting stock control, menu planning and reducing waste. The simplicity of the GiroVend cashless solution allows catering staff to better usilise their time as fewer staff are needed to process payment transactions and the reduced hygiene risk allows till staff to multitask, alternating payment processing with food preparation.
