Ollie’s Biggest Challenge
Before Yoco Counter, mornings at Ollie’s Café were a real test. Between 7 and 9 a.m., up to 50 people would line up, but Ollie never rushed orders because consistency and quality mattered more than speed.
His old iPad-linked setup slowed things down and raised concerns about data security.
Now, with Yoco Counter, Ollie has one system built for speed and security. Powered exclusively by the Yoco POS App, it gives him and his team a professional, reliable way to serve customers while keeping sensitive information protected.
“The old system couldn’t keep up, and it didn’t feel like a real business setup.” – Ollie
How Yoco Counter Helped Ollie’s
Instead of juggling apps on an iPad, he now has one simple point of sale (POS) system that anyone can use. Orders are organised by category (hot drinks, cold drinks, pastries) so even during the busiest mornings, everything flows smoothly.
With the Yoco App, Ollie can see how the café is performing in real time, whether he’s behind the bar or at home. It helps him track what’s selling, cut down on waste in quieter months, and stay on top of cash flow.
“It’s easy to use…anyone can do it. With the app, I track the day from anywhere. It makes me feel like I’m truly in business.” – Ollie
