With the growing number of customers preferring to order and pay for food and drinks online, restaurants must offer secure and convenient methods for efficiently managing payment transactions. Today, customers expect flexible and frictionless solutions that streamline online and in store payment transactions with minimal or no interaction with restaurant staff.

​Restaurants that send out “cards” during the annual holiday season know that there is only one card type that provides them with an opportunity to spread joy through food, fun, and a great atmosphere to new potential customers. Gift Cards are vital to restaurants for extending their brand and reach to new customers through the loyalty of their current customers. Gift cards also provide restaurant owners with increased funds that are critical to sustaining the business during slower periods throughout the year.

​As customers begin preparing for the holiday season, they turn to favorite local restaurants for easy and reliable gifting solutions they know family and friends will appreciate. Today, restaurants across the U.S. rely heavily on online ordering and payment solutions. Both digital and traditional gift cards offer restaurants a means for attracting new online and in store customers.
