Taking a bit off the back-and-sides can make all the difference when it comes to bank fees.
Just ask Bous for Men, a successful chain of hair salons with 11 thriving establishments. When they switched to Shift4 Zero Cost™ EFTPOS the impact was immediate.
“I really liked the simplicity of Shift4 Zero Cost™ EFTPOS and how fees were automatically calculated.”
It saved the business an impressive $66,000 a year.
“I think six businesses I have spoken to have changed to Shift4 as a result.”

Success leads to a better solution
The trigger moment came when the business was looking to expand, says owner Simon.
“We are growing and about to open another two salons, taking us to 13. I was concerned about the costs. My bank fees were just adding up, about $500 per month per store."
“I needed a better solution, and that’s when a friend told me they used Shift4. So, I researched them and another provider.”

I put a sign up to advise our customers there was a fee and found that 99% of customers were happy to pay. I think they were just like using their card and getting points. We provide a great service and are competitively priced. We just couldn't absorb those fees anymore.
Smooth set up for non-techies
After the successful trial, Simon says it was a no-brainer, and he moved quickly to roll out Shift4 Zero Cost™ EFTPOS in all the salons.
“I’m not the most tech-savvy of people, and I was delighted how seamless the setup process was. Switching the merchant facility from my bank was straight forward.”
“The surcharge is calculated automatically, so we just enter the purchase amount, and it’s done. Our staff love the simplicity of the automatic calculations. It’s just tap-and-go.”

One good service deserves another
With savings of over $66,000 a year – soon to be $78,000 when the two newest salons open – Simon is reinvesting in the business.
“We use the savings to invest in more staff. We are providing an even better service to our customers. It’s a win-win for everyone."
“I mention Shift4 whenever I can. It’s working for us,” says Simon.
