Capall Coffee powered by NPI
Ireland was still deep in COVID lockdowns. Most people were trying to keep their businesses alive. Niall Meldon and his family decided to start one.
They opened Capall Coffee in Glendalough with a beautiful copper truck, great coffee, and a lot of hope. That bet paid off. The copper truck became part of people’s morning routines. Locals loved it. Tourists hiking the Wicklow Mountains made it a regular stop.
Fast forward to now: that original truck has been upgraded to a custom minibus, and there’s a second busy location in Bray. Not bad for a pandemic startup.
The Challenge
Drive-through coffee has one rule: keep things moving. Every second matters when people are queuing for their morning coffee.
Niall needed a system that could take orders and process payments right at the window. Something small, quick, and handheld. Something that wouldn’t slow things down.
“I needed something small and quick for a drive-through with a handheld device. An all-in-one solution”
– Niall Meldon, Founder, Capall Coffee
The Solution
Niall looked at everyone. SumUp. Clover. The usual suspects. NPI won for three reasons: better rates, proper EPOS integration on handheld devices, and actual support that helps.
When Niall partnered with NPI in 2023, he got more than just a card terminal. Here’s what NPI delivered:
Integrated handheld EPOS system:
To handle both orders and payments at the window. No switching between devices. No clunky workarounds. Just one smooth process.
SIM-based connectivity:
To keep transactions running even in areas with patchy mobile signal. Critical for a business operating in the Wicklow Mountains.
Complete menu setup:
Built by the NPI team. Niall didn’t have to figure out the backend or spend hours configuring menus. It was done for him.
WorldPay dashboard integration:
For tracking sales and managing operations across locations.
The Results
Faster Flow, Happier Customers
Since switching to NPI, the impact has been clear:
✓ Faster customer flow during busy morning rushes
✓ Integrated orders and payments in one device
