“Using PhorestPay makes checkout so much easier as the clients’ services and product purchases are automatically on the payment machine. Tips have increased massively as it prompts clients to tip.”

Val Cussell

“We love our PhorestPay, it makes cashing up a breeze! Since introducing tipping, my team have been over the moon with the amount of tips. It has increased incomparably to before, and I’ve seen a massive spike in team moral because of this!”

Clare Gleadell

Beautique, UK

“We are finding using the terminal easy to use and cash up at the end of the day much quicker. The staff are finding they are collecting more tips. We run the tip report at the end of the week and the staff gets all the week’s tips together. They love getting the lump sum to finish their week.”

Stephen McCartney

The Cutting Room, UK

“The machine is very slick and flows very well throughout the payment process. The tipping options are very smart too, we are looking forward to the future solution by Phorest to the major changes to how tips are paid and taxed.”

Mike Messenger

Ed's Hair, UK

“We took PhorestPay on about a year ago, and it’s totally transformed cash reconciliation. Our book keeper has a much easier time. I have a much easier time. My reception team has a much easier time… We’ve added the tip feature to PhorestPay, and our staff love it. Their tips have gone up exponentially”

Shirley Popham, Owner

“Switching on PhorestTips on our PhorestPay terminal has seen our stylist take an average of £500 extra home a month! By embracing it, we’ve not only created a better experience for our clients but motivated our staff at the same time.”
