Today Nicholas Gould, founder of omnigo, spent the day at Dojo HQ alongside Chris Hartley, our Hospitality and Venues Lead, and Darren McCrory, our Automotive Lead.

On the surface, hospitality and automotive don't have much in common. One deals in tables, service and footfall. The other deals in forecourts, aftersales and high value transactions. But scratch beneath the surface and the two industries run into remarkably similar problems.

A queue at a busy restaurant on a Saturday night isn't so different to a dealership trying to process a high value deposit during a rush of weekend viewings. Both need speed. Both need reliability. Both lose money and reputation the moment a payment system lets them down.

That's exactly why days like today matter. Bringing our sector leads together, and putting them in a room with the team building the infrastructure behind it all, means the lessons learned in one industry don't stay siloed there.

If hospitality has already solved a problem that automotive is only just encountering, that knowledge should travel. And it does, through conversations like this one.

For businesses working with omnigo, whatever sector you're in, this is what sits behind the platform you use. Not just a card machine, but a team constantly comparing notes across industries to make sure what we offer keeps getting better.

If you take card payments anywhere in your business and want to understand why more businesses, small, large, local and national, are working with us, get in touch for an informal chat.
