QikServe, a mobile order and payment company, has announced its technology has been certified on the FreedomPay Commerce Platform, according to a press release.

QikServe said the integration will enable it to offer its hospitality customers a powerful and secure option for handling payments and transactions with PCI-validated point-to-point encryption and provides EMV certification out-of-the-box, according to the announcement.

QikServe's patented Waiter in Your Pocket technology lets guests order and pay for their food and drinks directly from a smartphone, web site or kiosk. The integration with FreedomPay's Commerce Platform enables QikServe to quickly deploy mobile ordering solutions that require traditional and emerging payments technologies like magstripe, EMV and contactless transactions via cards and smartphones, according to the announcement.

"We always strive to offer our customers the best available range of payment options, so we are delighted to have secured integration certification for FreedomPay," said Dan Rogers, CEO of QikServe. "The rollout of EMV is presenting challenges for hospitality operators in the U.S. and now we offer them a quick and easy option for supporting EMV as they deploy mobile and self-service ordering capabilities."
