01 · The Business

The business behind the numbers.

Nicola@sizzles is a Coventry food hut serving freshly cooked takeaway food to customers on the go. It caters to local workers and passers-by after a quick, tasty bite, with trade coming in sharp bursts around mealtimes. For a street-food operation, speed at the hatch and a reliable signal outdoors are everything.

Takeaways trade in short, intense bursts, so fast transactions and dependable kit at the counter keep orders moving when the queue builds.

02 · The Challenge

The costs that never got reviewed.

On SumUp, the business needed a reliable connection and fast transactions, because a dropped signal or slow payment at a busy food hut means a growing queue and lost custom. It also wanted quicker access to its takings. Speed and dependability at the hatch were essential during the lunchtime rush.

What mattered most. Reliable connectivity, faster transactions and 7-day settlement, backed by local support that is easy to reach around the clock.

03 · The Switch

Switching with NEOM, start to finish.

NEOM moved them to Teya with fast, reliable payments that keep the queue moving even outdoors at peak times, plus 7-day settlement for quicker access to funds. That suits the fast turnover of a busy food hut. The switch also reduced their card processing costs by around 40%, with local 24/7 support on hand whenever needed.

The Outcome

Card fees cut by 40%, roughly a third.

A setup matched to how the business trades, with support that is easy to reach when it matters.
