A $4.00 cone, a $4.16 tap, and a line that keeps moving.
Scoop shops live on small tickets and long July evenings. FeeSlicers sets up dual pricing built for that: both prices on the flavor board, a handheld that meets the line halfway down the sidewalk, and a setup that makes sense for a business that opens in spring and closes after Labor Day.
Two minutes to start. No obligation. George takes it from there.
Forty people deep at 8 p.m., and every one of them is a four-dollar sale.
Nobody in town rings up smaller tickets than you do. A kid's cone, a cup of mint chip, a shake for the drive home. On a hot Saturday the window does hundreds of these, one after another, and most of them are paid with a phone or a card held against the reader.
Plenty of your customers pay cash, and plenty tap. Dual pricing shows both groups a clear choice right on the board. What it can't be is a reason to slow the line down, so we build it around speed first.
The families who come in with a fistful of bills from grandpa, or a teenager paying with summer-job cash, see the cash price and pay it. Nobody has to ask for anything.
Built for the window, the walk-up line and the cart.
Three ways a scoop shop takes money in July, and the Payanywhere setup George usually suggests for each.
The order window
A Smart Flex has a screen facing the customer, so they watch both totals appear while you're still scooping. Tap, done, next. The receipt shows only the price they paid.
Working the line
When the line wraps around the building, a second person walks it with a handheld Smart Terminal Mini and takes payment before people reach the window. Orders get called out, cones get handed over, nobody waits twice.
The pop-up cart
For a Fourth of July parade or a Saturday farmers market, a Smart Terminal Mini goes with you and shows the same two prices as the window. Offline payments on the Smart device help when the signal at the park gives out.
A program that understands you close in October.
Plenty of scoop shops run from April to September, or keep short winter hours selling pints and holiday pies. For new merchants, the Edge program fee doesn't begin until the fourth month of the account. Open your account in April and it starts in July, after April, May and June are already rung up.
Before you sign, George walks you through how the off-season works on your account, including the monthly minimum that comes with a free device, so you know ahead of time what a quiet January looks like. Ask him about it on the first call.
Thinking about the flavor board itself? Run your current menu through the Two-Price Menu Maker and see how a single, double and waffle-cone upgrade read with both columns.
The numbers behind a scoop-shop setup.
One free Payanywhere Smart device per location for qualifying merchants through December 31, 2026. Requires a $5 monthly service fee and a $25 monthly minimum. Software subscription applies.
Posting two prices on a flavor board.
The card price has to be on the board for every item, with the cash price next to it. North supplies the notice that goes by the window ("Items have both a cash and a non-cash price") in English and Spanish. Some states add their own rules for how prices are posted, and Florida food-service businesses have a 2026 disclosure law worth reading. Check your state's page before the new board goes up, or start with Florida or Indiana if that's where you scoop.
What scoop-shop owners ask George.
Isn't sixteen cents too small to bother showing?
It's small on one cone, which is why the board does the explaining instead of your staff. Customers see $4.00 cash and $4.16 card before they order, and the handheld shows the same totals when they pay. There's nothing to discuss at the window.
Will taking payment on a handheld in the line confuse people?
The Smart Terminal Mini shows the customer the same card and cash totals the board does. George will help you set up a simple routine: one person scoops, one person walks the line and takes payment, and the two of you call orders by name.
We sell pints and quarts to-go and at the farmers market. Same prices?
Yes, every item gets a cash price and a card price wherever you sell it. A $9.00 pint is $9.36 on a card at the shop or on a Smart Terminal Mini at the market.
What happens to my account when we close for the winter?
That depends on what's in your merchant agreement, so George goes through a closed month line by line before you sign: the device software subscription, the free-device minimum if you took one, and anything else listed. Then you decide what fits your calendar.
Do debit cards get the cash price?
No. One card price applies to credit and debit alike; only cash gets the cash price. That keeps the board simple and matches card-brand rules.
For a scoop shop I set it up around the busiest hour you have. We price the board in both columns, put the notice where people read it while they decide on a flavor, and get the handheld paired before opening weekend, not during it.
Get both prices on the board before the first warm weekend.
