For years, restaurateurs around the world have been using pay-at-the-table technology to help reduce fraud and improve service quality. The U.S. traditionally has lagged behind in adopting this technology but the EMV liability shift and increased use of mobile wallets by consumers has up-heaved this trend. Now, with the latest developments in EVM reader technology, it’s easier than ever for restaurants to implement a pay-at-the-table solution.

Why Pay-at-the-Table?

Pay-at-the-table helps restaurants make more money.

With pay-at-the-table technology, staff can turn tables faster and serve more guests over the course of each day. Normally, it can take 15 to 20 minutes from when a server brings a check to when the payment is completed and the table can be cleared. Pay-at-the-table solutions allow the bill to be settled immediately; significantly reducing the time it takes for servers to turn the table.

Pay-at-the-table solutions improve customer service.

It’s no secret that customers don’t like to be kept waiting. Oftentimes, they have places to be and would much rather pay and be on their way than sit and wait for their check to be collected and their card to be run through the EMV reader.

EMV Wireless Integration with Dinerware. No more cables!

The development of wireless EMV readers makes adopting the pay-at-the-table model as easy as it is quick. Wireless readers have eliminated the logistical mapping nightmare of running cords throughout your restaurant in order to connect hardware to the POS. Additionally, processing payments through wireless EMV readers at the table protect both your business data and your customer’s payment information. Customers are more wary than ever about handing over their cards. With pay-at-the-table, payments are processed within view of the customer and the card never leaves the table.

Simplicity and Security for Your Business

Too often, restaurants put all their effort on greeting, seating, and serving quickly, but neglect speed and efficiency when it comes to the end of the dining experience. This can have disastrous effects, as this will be the last impression guests have when they leave your business and can determine whether or not they return. Even if their entire experience up until that point has been great, it can quickly go south when a check takes too long and customers have somewhere else to be. Additionally, pay-at-the-table technology allows you to easily accommodate splitting checks and tip processing, which brings more flexibility and convenience to the payment process, and gives your customers a better overall experience.
