In short: on the beach, customers can pay from their own phones via a link or QR code through a certified payment processor, without you having to carry a physical POS terminal from umbrella to umbrella.
The limitation of physical POS on the beach
Carrying a physical POS terminal from umbrella to umbrella, under the sun and on the sand, is inconvenient and limits collection speed during peak hours, when maximum efficiency is needed.
Payment from the customer's phone
If the customer can pay directly from their own phone (after booking or at the time of checkout), staff no longer need to physically carry a terminal: simply share a link or a QR code to complete the payment.
Payment security remains unchanged
The payment, even if made from the customer's phone, still passes through a certified payment processor: the security of the transaction is no less than that of a traditional physical POS payment.
An additional channel, not the only one
Payment by cash or physical POS always remains available for those who prefer it: direct payment from a phone is designed to speed up peak times, not to completely replace existing methods.

The problem of battery and signal on the beach
A physical POS terminal exposed to the sun all day risks overheating and faster battery drain than usual; paying from the customer's phone shifts this issue to the guest's device, which they typically keep protected and charged, reducing technical issues for the establishment.
Reconciling payments at the end of the day
With payments distributed between cash, physical POS, and direct phone payments, having an automatic summary that totals all channels in a single end-of-day screen simplifies evening accounting, avoiding the need to manually add reports from different sources.
