Yamba Bread Shop: Cutting Costs and Speeding Up Service in a Busy Bakery
For the past seven years, Yamba Bread Shop has been serving the local community with fresh bread, pastries, and a steady stream of loyal customers. Owned by Joel, this is a fast-moving bakery where efficiency at the counter matters just as much as quality in the oven. With constant foot traffic and peak-hour rushes, payments need to be quick, reliable, and cost-effective.
The Challenge
Before switching to APS EFTPOS, Yamba Bread Shop was banking with a major provider and paying significant merchant and terminal fees. Over time, those costs began to add up.
Why APS EFTPOS?
The decision to move to APS EFTPOS was straightforward.
“For the no cost involved, it was a great offer and made sense from a business perspective.”
The Low-Cost EFTPOS model provided a clear, logical solution. Instead of continuing to absorb ongoing fees, the structure aligned better with how Joel wanted to run the business — simple, transparent, and financially smart.
The Results
Since making the switch, the benefits have been practical and immediate:
- Reduced costs
- Reliable, easy-to-use terminals
- Two fast mobile terminals for flexibility
- Free paper rolls
- Support from a responsive, local representative Joel highlights the quality and ease of the terminals, along with the strong relationship and support received.
Day-to-Day Impact
In a busy bakery, speed is everything. With two mobile terminals, staff can move quickly during rush periods, keeping lines flowing and customers happy.
“It’s a smart EFTPOS service — the mobile terminals are fast, which makes customer service in a very busy bakery quick and efficient.” Payments are seamless, transactions are quick, and the system works in the background without disruption.
Advice to Other Businesses
For other business owners considering a switch, Joel keeps it simple:
“Give it a go — you’ve got nothing to lose and a lot of money to save.”
For Yamba Bread, APS has delivered exactly what was needed: lower costs, reliable terminals, and faster service in a high-demand environment.
