A South Australian business has announced a move to cash only after multiple system outages caused thousands of dollars in losses and left the business struggling to stay afloat. Adelaide-based Italian dessert bar Zeppole & Co announced the move on social media earlier this month in a bid to save the business, after errors in the point-of-sale and eftpos systems caused the business to lose eight weeks worth of revenue.
“These problems don’t happen when you have physical currency and we can control our money.” The transition to cash only was supported by the majority of customers, the spokesperson said. “The transition has been great,” they said. “The support we have received has been amazing, and we are truly so grateful and blessed to have such amazing customers.
