Zapper Expands Into Switzerland; First Offering Diners in Café du Centre a Fast and Secure Way to Pay
GENEVA, February 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Today, Zapper (http://www.zapper.com), the mobile payments and digital marketing
company, is announcing its expansion into Switzerland by partnering with the popular
restaurant Cafe du Centre [http://www.cafeducentre.ch ] in Geneva. The move reiterates
Zapper's goal to expand the availability of quick, easy and innovative mobile payments
across Europe.
The Swiss rollout is happening, in part, thanks to a new relationship with iKentoo
[http://www.ikentoo.com/en ], the pioneering ePOS provider with whom Zapper is the
integrated solution. These systems, which now power the mobile payment processes of Cafe
du Centre, allow diners to pay at their own convenience using the free Zapper app.
Through the Zapper for Restaurants service, a QR code will automatically be printed on
the bill. Diners can then scan the QR code using the Zapper app to pay the bill without
the wait for a card terminal. The diner can easily add a tip or split the bill, all
through one app. At the same time, Zapper learns the diner's preferences, allowing
restaurants to build a strong community and provide targeted offers and promotions.
European MD for Zapper, Bradley Duke said, "Today's announcement marks Zapper's first
steps into Switzerland - a country with a proud culinary tradition. We are delighted to be
partnering with quality technology providers in the region to bring the benefits of Zapper
to the people of Switzerland and the terrific range of restaurants that welcome them."
As one of the oldest brasseries in Geneva, Cafe du Centre is disproving the belief
that traditional establishments are resistant to embrace new technology such as mobile
payments. In fact, this new technology will help free up time for their waiters as they
won't be chasing the card machine or waiting for a large group to individually pay. With
Zapper, the restaurant will also be able to build up a community of diners and welcome
them back to the restaurant with tailored promotions.
Blaise Gumy, Operations Director for Cafe du Centre, said "We are delighted to
simplify further the payment processes for our customers with Zapper's effective and
consumer-friendly app."
Following Cafe du Centre, Zapper will also be available at Geneva restaurants
Vinnie's, Les 3 Verres, and Le Chat Rouge, and many more restaurants in the region.
Zapper was launched in October 2013 and already has thousands of independent
restaurants and chains using the system internationally. The Zapper app is available for
Android
