Longleaf Distilling Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 We're gearing up to open our tasting room and I was wondering what people with public tasting rooms had to say about going cashless or card-only? I've run a retail store in the past and cash was a constant headache while only accounting for around 5% of transactions. From what I have been told, a bar-type environment is quite different. Can anyone chime in on their experience with dealing with cash in the tasting room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Beaver Distillery Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 We've been cashless from day one 2 1/2 years. You get the occasional moan and groan from a customer, but I love the fact my staff doesn't need to worry about counting cash at the end of their shifts, theft issues, and I do have to run to the bank to make deposits. Most customers are earning points on their cards these days anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Lenerz Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 We went cashless during the peak of Covid for a bit, and it was really nice from a management standpoint, but had too many complaints to ditch it permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
