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 surcharge and terminal fees. Over time, those costs began to add up.

“We were paying a lot of money in surcharge fees and terminal fees, and we were getting tired of it.” For a high-volume business like a bakery, even small percentages can turn into big numbers over a year.

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 No-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.
