01 · The Business
Mackie’s Tattie’s & Salad Bar, in short.
Mackie’s Tatties & Salad Bar is a Coventry food hut serving jacket potatoes, fresh salads and takeaway meals. It caters to local workers and shoppers after a quick, healthy lunch, with trade peaking sharply at midday. For a small street-food operation, every fixed cost weighs heavily against a modest daily turnover.
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
Paying for a setup built for someone else.
On Worldpay, the business wanted to remove fixed monthly fees and bring its overall costs down. Recurring charges that don’t flex with trade are a real burden for a small food hut. Cutting those unnecessary fixed costs was the priority.
What mattered most. Lower costs and no terminal rental, backed by local support that is easy to reach around the clock.
03 · The Switch
Shift4, with NEOM handling the move.
NEOM moved them to Shift4, removing the fixed monthly fees and lowering overall costs so the business pays in a way that better suits its size. That eases the pressure of recurring charges on a small operation. The switch reduced their card processing costs by around 35%, with local 24/7 support whenever it’s needed.
