CoreGo’s portable payment terminals have been in use at two ice cream kiosks in Klaukkala in Finland during the summer 2024. The user-friendly and customizable payment system is well-suited for seasonal businesses and pop-up sales, where it’s crucial that sales operations are easy and fast.
Ice cream kiosk entrepreneur Ines Koivusara founded her first business at just 14 years old, and after six years, she now runs two ice cream kiosks in Klaukkala. For the summer of 2024, Koivusara decided to use CoreGo’s payment terminals and now shares her experiences with the system in her kiosks.
The ease of use of the payment terminal and the customizable main view receive praise
Koivusara’s ice cream kiosks employed ten workers over the summer, and training for the job begins with the use of the payment terminals.
“It hasn’t taken more than a few minutes for them to learn how to use it [the payment terminals], it’s definitely been a big help,” Koivusara says.
CoreGo’s payment terminals feature a touchscreen, making them very similar to using a smartphone. The product menu and functionalities of the CoreGo POS system are also arranged to be as intuitive and fast as possible.
“The ease of use of the payment terminals has been the most positive aspect, and the [payment system’s] main interface can be customized to suit both your own style and your specific needs.”
Clear sales reports and diverse payment methods are also advantages
The entrepreneur has been pleased with the clear sales reports available from CoreGo Cloud, which allow her to track sales for both kiosks individually and together.
The system also automatically calculates change, which has been a key benefit in the fast-paced kiosk environment.
Koivusara also appreciates the combined payment feature:
“If a customer wants to pay part in cash and the rest by card, the system handles that automatically.”
CoreGo’s support has been crucial, especially at the start
Koivusara praises CoreGo for providing quick responses to her questions, which has been essential, particularly during the system’s implementation.
The ice cream kiosk entrepreneur considers CoreGo’s payment terminals and service an excellent solution for her kiosks:
“I’ve definitely thought about using CoreGo’s payment terminals again next summer.”
