Results

Next Payments’ CRT has improved the level of cash security at the Inverloch Esplanade Hotel whilst increasing staff efficiency.

Challenge

With a small gaming floor but growing turnover, the Inverloch Esplanade Hotel was looking to improve their patrons’ experience of withdrawing their ticket winnings using a machine that has high uptime, processes transactions fast and is easy to use. The overall goal was to decrease redemption time for customers, increase staff efficiency and make the gaming room more money safe.

The Right Solution

After a discussion with the Inverloch Esplanade Hotel, Next Payments recommended that the venue invest in a Mini CashIO Cash Redemption Terminal for their gaming room. This CRT is a stylish addition to any smaller venue that improves customer experience by providing patrons with quick and reliable transactions. Easy to use, the Mini CashIO, can redeem cards and tickets, with a self-aligning ticket acceptor that reduces the incidence of any jams.

Results

The Inverloch Esplanade Hotel has enjoyed many benefits since investing in a Next Payments CRT. Dylan Clark, Managing Director, tells us that with a simple and easy to use interface, customer uptake has been positive, particularly among older patrons redeeming tickets in the venue. Clark also shared that once staff were familiar with the CRT’s processes, clearances and other start of day procedures were significantly simplified.

The Inverloch Esplanade Hotel uses their Mini CashIO to swiftly and accurately pay out any winnings and tickets to patrons on the gaming floor. The venue has been pleased to find the ability for customers to break large notes with the CRT to be an extremely valuable feature as it has allowed staff more time to look after the other needs of their customers. Additionally, the safe within the unit has enabled the Hotel to store much more cash on site for busier days without any of the risks that can be associated with these amounts of cash being stored in drawers or unsecured safes around the venue.

Beyond the increase in safety and time saved handling winnings and cash, the Inverloch Esplanade Hotel has found that Next Payments customer service levels have exceeded their expectations.
