Greggs are now accepting payments by card across its countrywide network of over 1,500 bakeries, employing more than 3,500 Spire Payment devices. Spire Payments’ Optimum T4220 terminals, which include contactless technology, enable customers to ‘touch and pay’ in less than a second, helping to reduce queue times during peak trading periods and particularly at lunch time.
Card acceptance is now fully deployed across the Greggs store network and a phased roll out of contactless payment acceptance is now well underway to equip each outlet.
A spokesperson at Greggs said "Card payments and especially contactless payments are extremely suitable for our growing business. The vast majority of the transactions are below £15 and the introduction of contactless payments will greatly enhance the customer experience within Greggs".
