Revolutionising Hospitality Payments: Stored Unveils A Streamlined Future
As hospitality businesses are diversifying their revenue streams beyond conventional in-store sales, incorporating new offerings like meal kits, merchandise, events, and experiences, the demand for efficient digital engagement and payment solutions is more pronounced than ever. Traditional e-commerce platforms, by their complex nature, require time and expertise and have become stumbling blocks in this pursuit.
Stored emerges as the catalyst for change, eliminating these interruptions and leading a new era of seamless online transactions. With Stored, businesses can effortlessly launch online sales for their services and products within seconds, establishing instant connections with their community and customers. Say goodbye to the complexities of traditional platforms and embrace a future where engaging your audience and processing digital payments are fast, accessible, and remarkably simple.
NAVIGATING PAYMENT AND COST CHALLENGES: A DEEPER INSIGHT
Let's consider a common scenario where a hospitality business aims to secure pre-payment for a series of small events or experiences. Currently, these businesses are hesitant to commit the time, expenses, and complexities associated with establishing a comprehensive e-commerce storefront for digital payments. Instead, they explore various alternative payment options.
Creating Event Page: The Costly Trade-Off for Hospitality Businesses
Establishing event pages has become a common practice for businesses in the hospitality industry. However, this seemingly straightforward method introduces a series of challenges. For many hospitality businesses managing small-scale events, the requirement of a ticket may not be necessary. Equally these businesses often drive sales from their own community of customers and social followers, meaning the high commission rates ranging from 8-15% feel like an unreasonable cost to bear.
Phone Call for Payment: A Double-Edged Sword of Inconvenience and Risk
The conventional approach of managing payments over the phone, while offering a personal touch, comes with its own set of challenges. Beyond the apparent inconvenience for customers, this method necessitates extra staff to facilitate the management of sensitive data, leading to heightened operational costs and risks.
Payment by Link: Balancing Act of Customer Burden and Operational Costs
One other option for hospitality businesses is "Pay by Link". While seemingly convenient, it places the burden on customers to reach out and request bookings actively. This not only results in increased operational costs but also introduces inefficiencies in the reservation management process. The need for additional staff to handle the communication and coordination associated with this method adds another layer of complexity, further driving up costs for businesses striving to streamline their operations. By its very nature, it is designed as a request to pay, which means that it is difficult to scale or to share with large groups of customers.
