Since opening his co-owned Kahve Vadisi, Bekir has focused on creating a welcoming space where customers can enjoy quality food and drinks. To keep operations running smoothly, he turned to Edenred’s CepPOS solution, a decision that transformed the way his business handles payments.
“More than 20 years ago, I started my journey in the coffee industry, working at a local chain. What began as a job quickly turned into a passion, and in 2018, my business partner Fahri and I decided to open our own café. From day one, we wanted to create more than just a place to grab a coffee—we wanted to build a welcoming space where people could relax, connect and enjoy quality food and drinks.
Most of our customers use Edenred’s meal cards, so partnering with Edenred was an easy decision.
In 2022, we switched to the CepPOS Edenred app and it’s been a game-changer for our business. Traditional point of sales (POS) devices would sometimes malfunction, slowing down service and frustrating customers. Relying on a single device also created bottlenecks during busy hours. With CepPOS Edenred, my team can accept payments directly from their own smartphones, meaning no more delays at checkout. Payments are fast, seamless and always work when we need them.
Beyond speed, CepPOS Edenred has made transactions more hygienic and convenient. Customers can pay using NFC or a QR code from their phone—no physical card needed. Plus, everything is tracked in real time, making it easy to monitor payments, issue invoices and even request early payments when needed. The setup was effortless, and we’ve never had a single issue using it.
Running a café comes with enough daily challenges—payments shouldn’t be one of them. CepPOS Edenred made things simpler for both our team and our customers, and that peace of mind is invaluable.
This allows us to focus on what really matters: serving good coffee and good food."
