An Isle of Wight business has partnered up with ferry firm Red Funnel to provide new technology in the ReFuel cafes.
Newport-based technology provider, WRS, has installed advanced electronic point-of-sale (EPOS) systems in all ReFuel cafes onboard the Red Funnel ferries.
The upgrade is designed to improve transaction speed to streamline services.
Fran Collins, CEO of Red Funnel, expressed her “delight” to work with WRS to “increase the speed and efficiency of service” onboard for customers as well as “exploring new ways to partner with Island businesses and support the local economy” in the future.

Jamie White, head of business development at WRS, said he was proud that WRS has become the “trusted provider” for Red Funnel and is “excited to provide seamless and efficient solutions to support and enhance” Red Funnel's operations.
Looking ahead, Red Funnel plans to further enhance its ReFuel cafes by adding more locally sourced products and is exploring additional sustainability initiatives, including adopting more eco-conscious packaging.
Many of the current refreshments are sourced locally from suppliers such as The Island Tea and Coffee Co. and Island Foods.
The new EPOS systems are now live.
