Pay at the Table Technology
When was the last time you were out at a restaurant, either by yourself, with your family, or with a large group of friends? You enjoy a good meal, perhaps a few drinks, and maybe a dessert you know you will regret the next time you go to the gym. Then the bill comes. Everyone grabs their wallets or purses, starts looking for cash or maybe a credit or debit card. The waiter or waitress collects everyone’s preferred form of payment, and then goes off to process and cash out your party, a process which sometimes can add an extra 10 to 20 minutes to your time in the restaurant. And in the meantime, your credit card is not directly under your supervision.
We put a lot of trust in the servers at the restaurants we frequent. We give them our piece of plastic, and they go off to run transactions on it, transactions which we authorize by first giving up our credit or debit card, and second by signing a piece of paper which is what we assume is the only transaction that has been run on our credit card. But until we receive our bank’s statements in the mail, do we really know how transactions are being run?
What if your favorite restaurant or bar had the ability to swipe your credit card right there at the table, without the card ever physically leaving your possession? This is the idea behind Pay at the Table Technology that Evolve Systems offers. Pay at the Table Technology offers a number of benefits to businesses who desire to be on the cutting edge:
