After a hiatus due to Covid-19 and Hobart City Council relinquishing event management responsibilities, Tasmania’s favourite food and wine festival returned in 2021-22. This latest iteration pushed forward under new management, with a name update and a stronger focus on representing Tasmanian vendors and produce. For the event to be viable in an uncertain environment, change was needed, which local Tasmanian business, Total POS Solution, accepted as their project! An essential requirement for the updated event was a point of sale (POS) solution that provided a robust, cashless payment solution and an equitable financial model for the stallholders. Delivering a custom POS solution to more than 80 stallholders was a significant logistical challenge. Still, the team at Total POS used their capabilities to customise based on their clients’ needs and were able to deliver results on time and to budget.

said: “despitesomeprevious largeanddemanding hospitality projects around the state, this was by far our biggest challenge. However, despite the hurdles, the festival was a great success and feedback from stallholders was fantastic.” Sourcing the necessary hardware in the required timeframe with the current global shipping turmoil due to Covid was complex. Then there was the need to create customised solutions for each stallholder, roll this out within a tight bump- in schedule, and provide on-call support for the entirety of the event. Julius Fitzgerald, manager of Total POS Solutions and the team gave considerable effort over the festive season and were pleased to achieve a successful outcome for everyone involved. Total POS Solutions is a team of locals who deliver a comprehensive range of POS services, including hardware, training, and technology for the hospitality, tourism, and retail sectors across the state. They’re also the technology partners of the THA and members.
