SAN JOSE, Calif.
--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
--
VeriFone Holdings, Inc.
(NYSE: PAY) announced today that
Heartland Payment Systems
(NYSE: HPY), one the of nationâs largest payments processors, has certified VeriFoneâs ON THE SPOT pay-at-the-table managed services solution for nationwide use. Heartland is marketing this pay-at-the-point-of-service technology to restaurant customers under the Heartland Tableside SM brand.
Tableside utilizes the VeriFone V x 670 handheld system with Wi-Fi and the managed services model that
VeriFone
developed. This provides restaurants with many of the advantages of integrated systems without the need to invest in expensive restaurant management systems.
âVeriFoneâs wireless payment and managed services solution is ideal for independent restaurants and small chains that want to provide diners with faster, more secure card payment options,â said
Mike English
, Heartlandâs executive director of product development. âHeartland Tableside enhances our ability to provide restaurants with quick, dependable service and easy, cost-effective access to enhanced processing and reporting capabilities.â
The V x 670 improves the customer experience by reducing the time and number of steps to complete the payment transaction while virtually eliminating the potential for card skimming or tip alteration. In addition, Heartland Tableside enables restaurant operators to comply with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) requirements by storing card transaction information on a secure remote IP gateway.
âVeriFoneâs ON THE SPOT solution further enhances Heartlandâs tailored solutions specifically crafted for the restaurant market,â said
Jeff Dumbrell
,
VeriFone
executive vice president. âTogether,
VeriFone
and Heartland are providing restaurants with advanced value-added services and the tools to improve operations.â
With Heartland Tableside, any one of multiple V x 670 systems in a particular restaurant can initiate or complete a transaction. Tip capture can be completed at the point of service, saving time at the end of the shift as no adjustments are required. Batch closing can be pre-programmed on the managed services gateway, which also provides sophisticated reporting functions and transaction history that can be reviewed from any computer with Internet access.
