Text-to-Pay for Restaurants
Datacap and Dash Now enable Text-to-Pay (eCommerce transactions) alongside card-present payments for any Point of Sale via Datacap’s NETePay Hosted™ platform. No hardware or mobile app required.
Editor Note: This type of transaction is very common. Calling into order is likely the most common way of ordering. We order food regularly from restaurants and unless you are a loyal customer and have bothered to load their app and sign in to their loyalty program (and released all of your personal information to them along the way), its very problematic. Even the new Google Pay works and then it doesn’t work. We have a loyalty account at Paneras e.g. Ordering via the mobile and their website doesn’t link my phone number and rewards to my account, unless I use the Panera app and logged in.
Gaining new customers would seem to be ideal first priority. Putting barriers in front of those customers “trying” your restaurant is counterproductive.
How Text-To-Pay for Restaurants works:
Text-to-Pay for To-Go Orders
Send a text message to your customer allowing them to pay for their order remotely and receive a real-time notification when the customer arrives to pick up their order.
