POS Software Delivers Integrated, Safer Payment Processing and Free Gift Card Transactions

    SEATTLE, WA, May 30, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Making it easier for customers to spend money helps restaurants to bake bigger profits into their bottom line. Andromeda POS' new partnership with Mercury Payment Systems is giving tech-savvy restaurant owners the capabilities they've been asking for: speedy and secure payment processing that is PCI compliant, plus an easy way to roll out gift cards on the fly.

"Restaurants using our Point Of Sale software solution will be able to serve more customers faster, improving convenience for them while also protecting their data," says Andromeda POS VP Americas Dave Hick. Andromeda's improved payment processing capabilities will make it easier for restaurant staff to handle simultaneous payments from multiple stations, or to handle online or group orders.

"All kinds of businesses are under increasing pressure to ensure PCI compliance standards - essentially, ensuring that customers' private information isn't compromised," Hick adds. "But thanks to an ingenious technology solution, with Andromeda's system the customer's data is never in the restaurant's system. That means hackers can't steal information. Business owners can rest assured that their customers are safe. We're giving them effective security, whether their customers are in the store or online."

The new gift card options will also help Andromeda POS customers take advantage of new and potentially very significant revenue streams. Mercury Gift lets businesses do unlimited gift card transactions for free, making it easy for businesses to offer customers this user-friendly brand-boosting present.

"We know that restaurants offering gift cards see big profits, with consumers spending an average of 46 percent more at businesses that use them; one company using Mercury's system sold tens of thousands of dollars in gift cards in just a few hours - that's a big boost to any company's bottom line. Partnering with Mercury is a win-win for us and our restaurant customers."
