I believe the payment digitalisation would help in at least 2 areas for the Hawkers.
Reducing or eliminating (in the perfect and ideal case) cash handling including, separating and keeping the cash, calculating and returning the changes if the customer is not paying the exact amount.
This helps to increase their productivity (time saved in handling cash could be utilised to served more customers and hence more revenue) and to improve the food hygiene (as currency notes and coins are amongst the most dirty items in terms of bacteria and viruses).
