Harbortouch adds Apple Pay to pay-at-the-table app
The Perkwave app also includes loyalty and rewards functionality to encourage customers to pay with the app.
Harbortouch, a national point-of-sale system and merchant services provider, has unveiled Perkwave, a mobile app that uses Apple Pay technology to enable restaurant customers to pay at the table. The app also includes built-in loyalty and rewards functionality, according to a press release.
The Perkwave app's pay-at-the-table feature, using Apple Pay technology, provides a way for restaurants to comply with forthcoming EMV acceptance regulations, according to the announcement. The app leverages a familiar technology in mobile phones to limit the consumer pushback that many other product have faced, Harbortouch said in the announcement.
The Perkwave app also includes loyalty and rewards functionality to encourage customers to pay with the app, frequent the restaurant more often and find other local businesses that are enabled to accept Perkwaves embedded Apple Pay technology.
