What internet set up is best for my drive thru.

ncopland — Sat, 17 Aug 2019 02:50:06 GMT

I am currently using XXX for internet service that was set up for card service many years ago. I also have a land line which I don’t feel is necessary. The monthly charges exceed $125. What would be the best way for me to go about changing this set up? I want to continue using my Square stand with cash drawer and receipt printer AND get rid of the land line. Possibly get another cell phone to add to my personal account and use as a business phone? How do other small businesses handle this situation. Maybe I’m doing ok as is?

Hi @ncopland!

Can you tell me more about your cash drawer and receipt printer? I was originally going to suggest WiFi but if your cash drawer and printer go by ethernet you'd have to keep your ethernet connection.

Have you tried price shopping with other providers in your area?

My receipt printer is TSP100 which connects to the router with Ethernet cable.

I questioned my provider company about the fees, but with everything bundled

they’re giving me the lowest price. If I want to get rid of my land line it doesn’t reduce the cost that much. They have it all figured out, you know. I will try shopping around. Thank you!

@ncopland No worries!

If you find a better solution, please feel free to come back and share your story in case other sellers have the same question!
