Title: Barcode collecting
Post by: LWC on August 01, 2010, 04:03:30 pm

Has anyone found out about this yet?

What was the guys website?

The one where he puts a barcode in the customers windows, when hes done, he scans it and it collects the money into bank.

It doesnt collect the money into the bank it just tells them on the computer in the office that its been cleaned.

Then the office ring up n take payment as far as i remember

we have to use barcode scanners for starbucks stores - it just saves the information to be sent off to prove you visited the property

The company is: ezy-clean

www.ezy-clean.co.uk

The problem with this system if you employ is it's open to abuse.  A rogue cleaner will not be able to resist the temptation to just have a quick look to see no-ones watching, then zap the barcode and away!!

For a one-man-band I think it would be too expensive.
