Ingenico Group, the leader in seamless payments, and Datacap Systems, an integrated payments middleware provider, announced on Wednesday (Aug. 24) the installation of its Pay-at-the-Table solution at Uncle Oogie’s, a New Jersey and Philadelphia-based chain of pizzerias. Using Ingenico Group’s smart terminals, Datacap’s point-of-sale partner, PDQ Signature Systems, was able to streamline the Pay-at-the-Table implementation for Uncle Oogie’s.
“Being on the New Jersey Shore, competition is very fierce, so I’m always looking for new and innovative ways to create a better customer experience,” said Louie Cerone, owner of Uncle Oogie’s, in a press release. “In addition to improving our customer experience, the Pay-at-the-Table solution provides a number of benefits for our business and employees, including increased efficiency and table turnover. With the Pay-at-the-Table solution, we’re also able to offer our customers curbside pickup, allowing them to receive their food and pay without needing to leave their car, which many of our customers take advantage of.”
According to the companies, the benefits of the Pay-at-the-Table solution include acceptance of all forms of electronic payment, such as EMV chip card, magstripe and NFC/contactless, including Android Pay, Apple Pay and Samsung Pay. It can also increase profitability as a result of higher table turnover, reduce wait times, increase customer service by lowering wait times for payment and improve business efficiency by adding real-time tipping.
“Ingenico Group is dedicated to helping its customers adopt the latest payment technologies to streamline business processes while complying with the ongoing EMV liability shift,” said Greg Burch, VP of strategic initiatives at Ingenico Group, in the same press release. “By adopting our Pay-at-the-Table solution, Uncle Oogie’s has significantly improved its payment acceptance experience for customers and set itself up to ensure EMV compliance across all of its locations well into the future.”
