Standalone payments is a technology that enables your guests to order and pay by scanning a QR code or visiting a payment link with their smartphone. It is fast, secure, and efficient. Additionally, standalone payments ensure that your guests keep their credit card and other financial information private. For business owners, standalone payments increase the table turnover rates since customers are able to pay without assistance from the waiter. Businesses may also record higher tips and hence improved staff morale and productivity.
