Running a business today is a balancing act. Customer expectations evolve, tech solutions change rapidly, and small business owners often juggle everything from sales to supplier payments to accounting. For many, the key to keeping pace lies in smarter, simpler tools that streamline operations without slowing growth.
Enter GCash for Business, the digital ecosystem that Marc Gan (Habits Coffee + Cocktail Bar), Ched Hilado (Das Burgery), and Princess Potot (3FE Café) rely on every day to run their ventures more efficiently.
From instant payment confirmations to organized financial management, GCash is helping small business owners navigate the cashless economy — while keeping operations smooth and customers happy.
Here’s why these GCash tools should be on every small business owner’s radar:
1. Seamless payments save time and boost customer satisfaction
At Habits Coffee + Cocktail Bar in Davao, co-founders Marc Gan and his team are always on their toes, serving a fast-paced crowd. With GCash SoundPay, they’ve sped up transactions while reducing errors.
SoundPay is a portable device that works with any GCash QR code. Payments trigger an instant audio confirmation, letting staff and customers know the transaction went through — no guesswork required.
“The instant voice confirmation for every payment means we never miss a sale, and our customers love the convenience,” says the team. Previously, handling cash often slowed service. Now, both speed and accuracy have improved.
2. Accurate payments mean no missed sales
For Das Burgery, which now operates three branches across Bacolod and Dumaguete, owner Ched Hilado knows the headaches of managing cash. Deploying SoundPay across all locations has been a game-changer.
“When we hear the audio confirmation, we know the money is in our account. It removes uncertainty and gives peace of mind,” she explains. Accurate, real-time payment tracking frees up time to focus on growth rather than reconciliation.
3. Organized finances help you plan for growth
Mixing personal and business funds is a common struggle for small entrepreneurs. 3FE Café owner Princess Potot recalls using her personal GCash wallet for business transactions — thus complicating accounting and reporting.
With the GCash for Business Portal, all transactions are tracked in one place. It comes with a payments tracker, supplier payment integration, and unlimited cashless payment reception.
“It’s very friendly for new business owners. The portal manages sales, tracks transactions, and organizes finances — it simplifies everything,” she says.
4. PocketPay: Your smartphone as a POS
GCash recently launched PocketPay, an NFC-enabled tool that turns Android smartphones into mobile point-of-sale devices. Business owners can accept credit or debit cards, track inventory, and settle payments fast—all on one device.
For micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), PocketPay offers the flexibility to operate without investing in traditional POS hardware, while still keeping finances organized and payments secure.
Entering the ‘easy era’ of business operations
For entrepreneurs looking to simplify operations, GCash for Business offers tools that combine speed, security, and financial organization.
From SoundPay to PocketPay and the GCash for Business Portal, these solutions help small business owners focus less on the mechanics of payments and more on growing their business.
Getting started is simple:
- Create a GCash for Business account (12-month verified GCash account required for the Starter Plan).
- Order a GCash SoundPay or download PocketPay on your Android device.
- Start receiving payments instantly, track transactions, and streamline supplier payouts.
Whether you’re serving coffee, burgers, or artisanal espresso, these tools help you run smarter, scale faster, and embrace the cashless era.
