We were on our way to the Night Noodle Markets last evening, and my partner says to me, “We’d better stop off at an ATM on the way.”

“Pffft.” – I’ve seen first hand how quickly merchants are adopting technologies to streamline payment processes and offer customers exactly what they want – cashless transactions.



Case in point – Contrary to just a year or two ago where you would have seen “cash only” signs plastered on multiple stands, there are now “no cash” signage on several booths.

Kounta on Albert a world’s first came from partnership between Kounta and Commbank to offer merchants a single device to both take payments as well as access front-end Point of Sale and back-end processing systems.

Retail and Hospitality service providers across Australia have embraced Kounta on Albert as the POS of choice, as customer expectations have evolved to demand speedier and more personalised interactions.



Re-thinking customer experience is something we’re passionate about and ultimately Kounta on Albert will be a pivotal part of our success.” Says Chris Tate, General Manager of Retail from Pablo & Rusty’s – a local Sydney cafe.

“[Kounta on Albert] means staff can be interacting with customers in a more efficient and personable way because they don’t need to be using multiple systems or devices.” Says Claire Roberts, Executive Manager, Local Business Banking, Commonwealth Bank.

Nick, Founder of Kounta says, “As it stands, existing legacy POS systems limit the mobility of retail and hospitality staff. They have to complete orders and payments at a big clunky static computer and fixed payment terminal stations – a system that’s now not only extremely outdated, but stands in the way of operational efficiencies.”

Kounta on Albert offers users the freedom to complete transactions including checkout, table management and splitting bills on-the go, all with robust reporting on stock levels and other business insights core to operations and growth.

Sydney Night Noodle Markets #poweredbyKounta

The Sydney Night Noodle Market is #poweredbykounta and that’s transforming the way the event runs.

Here’s what it takes to keep up with a crowd of that scale:

Speed – Each of these booths easily processed anywhere from 3,000 to 15,000 transactions each night. The event was packed, lines long, and customers hungry. Kounta on Albert speeds this entire process up with fast payments and by facilitating mobility. Staff took orders and processed payments while customers were still in queues.

Centralised Inventory Data – When Kounta vendors found themselves running low on specific ingredients, they could preemptively take items off the menu instead of disappointing customers.

Keep Selling, Online or Off – An outdoor event with mass scale attendance bang smack in the middle of the city meant that Wifi wasn’t always the most reliable. Kounta kept sales running smooth even when coverage cut out, syncing data back to the cloud once vendors could go online.

Moral of the Story:
