VeriFone gets the acknowledgement of European Retail Solutions Awards

The Payment Solution Award was jointly granted to sandwich retailer, EAT, and solution providers VeriFone, Commidea and Common Sense EPoS at the recent European Retail Solutions Awards (ERSA) 2008.

The integrated solution developed, that includes VeriFone Vx 510 countertop payment system operating Commidea’s pre-certified Ocius software combined with VeriFone's contactless reader, enables consumers of EAT to make payments in a customized way either by cash, contactless card, or via Chip and PIN. When making payments of  £10 and under customers can just wave a ‘touch and go’ card against the contactless reader – the whole process takes less than a second.

With the contactless system customers got an opportunity to pay in a fast and convenient way while saving their time on queues.

“The quick service retail sector is an ideal environment to realise the advantages of contactless payment technology,” said Debbie Mitchell, marketing director for VeriFone EMEA. “We’re proud to have been instrumental in delivering this exciting solution for EAT, in partnership with a great team.”
