NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK and BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS — (Marketwired) — 10/28/14 — TouchBistro and Merchant Warehouse today announced that the companies are working together to ensure restaurants and food service businesses that use the TouchBistro POS solution have access to the widest selection of options that patrons can use to pay for their food and drink orders.
TouchBistro uses the highly secure Merchant Warehouse Genius Customer Engagement Platform to process payments made via the TouchBistro POS solution. Genius supports mobile commerce using technologies such as NFC and QR codes, and is designed to accept all current and future payment types – including LevelUp, PayPal, Google Wallet, SoftCard, and now Apple Pay.
“When Merchant Warehouse launched the Genius Customer Engagement Platform more than two years ago, we knew that businesses would want to take advantage of new payment technologies as they became available, including those being created for mobile devices,” says Henry Helgeson, CEO of Merchant Warehouse. “We designed the platform to enable and deploy new payment technologies rapidly and flawlessly.”
Helgeson explains, “With Genius and TouchBistro, food service businesses of any size are ready to accept Apple Pay and other NFC-enabled mobile payment solutions instantly. This provides opportunities to bring new customers in the door and to give regular customers a reason to come back again and again.”
TouchBistro brings mobile innovation to the food and beverage industry, providing a modern point-of-sale solution that is easy to use, packed with smart features, integrated with different payment processing options such as those provided by Merchant Warehouse, and at a lower cost. Servers use the TouchBistro iPad app to take tableside customer orders, and instantly submit them to the kitchen and bar. This eliminates the need for servers to enter a customer–s order into a separate, distant terminal, which minimizes order errors and increases operations efficiency.
With its focus on customer experience, TouchBistro is continually enhancing its POS solution to ensure new functionality addresses the needs of restaurateurs and keeps pace with advances in the technology market. This also ensures restaurateurs are better equipped to deliver a superior experience to their customers.
“We–ve created a POS system that focuses first and foremost on customer experience, and our relationship with Merchant Warehouse ensures that restaurateurs and food service business owners have access to a highly intuitive, technologically advanced, future proof POS solution that addresses their immediate and long term needs,” says Alex Barrotti, CEO and Founder of TouchBistro. “Being able to immediately activate NFC-based payment options such as Apple Pay takes the ease and security of payments to an entirely new level that restaurateurs and food service providers definitely desire.”
TouchBistro is the number one grossing restaurant POS system on the Apple App Store in 30 countries, according to App Annie, and will be fully integrated with Apple Pay when it launches in those markets.
