POS Software Delivers Integrated, Safer Payment Processing and Free Gift Card Transactions

Andromeda POS-Mercury partnership helps restaurants offer more convenience, PCI security for customers.

2013-05-30

SEATTLE, WA, May 30, 2013 (Press-News.org) Making it easier for customers to spend money helps restaurants to bake bigger profits into their bottom line. Andromeda POS' new partnership with Mercury Payment Systems is giving tech-savvy restaurant owners the capabilities they've been asking for: speedy and secure payment processing that is PCI compliant, plus an easy way to roll out gift cards on the fly.

"Restaurants using our Point Of Sale software solution will be able to serve more customers faster, improving convenience for them while also protecting their data," says Andromeda POS VP Americas Dave Hick. Andromeda's improved payment processing capabilities will make it easier for restaurant staff to handle simultaneous payments from multiple stations, or to handle online or group orders.

"All kinds of businesses are under increasing pressure to ensure PCI compliance standards - essentially, ensuring that customers' private information isn't compromised," Hick adds. "But thanks to an ingenious technology solution, with Andromeda's system the customer's data is never in the restaurant's system. That means hackers can't steal information. Business owners can rest assured that their customers are safe. We're giving them effective security, whether their customers are in the store or online."

The new gift card options will also help Andromeda POS customers take advantage of new and potentially very significant revenue streams. Mercury Gift lets businesses do unlimited gift card transactions for free, making it easy for businesses to offer customers this user-friendly brand-boosting present.

"We know that restaurants offering gift cards see big profits, with consumers spending an average of 46 percent more at businesses that use them; one company using Mercury's system sold tens of thousands of dollars in gift cards in just a few hours - that's a big boost to any company's bottom line. Partnering with Mercury is a win-win for us and our restaurant customers."

2013-05-29

Patients undergoing planned surgery appear more likely to die if they have their operation at the end of the week, a study published in the British Medical Journal has found. Researchers at Imperial College London looked at over four million elective procedures conducted in NHS hospitals in England between 2008 and 2011. They found that 27,582 patients died within 30 days of surgery. The mortality rate was lowest for patients having operations on Monday, and increased for each subsequent day of the week. The odds of death were 44 per cent higher for operations on a Friday ...

Advanced paper could be foundation for inexpensive biomedical and diagnostic devices

2013-05-29

Paper is known for its ability to absorb liquids, making it ideal for products such as paper towels. But by modifying the underlying network of cellulose fibers, etching off surface "fluff" and applying a thin chemical coating, researchers have created a new type of paper that repels a wide variety of liquids – including water and oil. The paper takes advantage of the so-called "lotus effect" – used by leaves of the lotus plant – to repel liquids through the creation of surface patterns at two different size scales and the application of a chemical coating. The material, ...

New chemical approach to treat Alzheimer's

2013-05-29

Scientists at the University of Liverpool and Callaghan Innovation in New Zealand have developed a new chemical approach to help harness the natural ability of complex sugars to treat Alzheimer's disease. The team used a new chemical method to produce a library of sugars, called heparan sulphates, which are known to control the formation of the proteins in the brain that cause memory loss. Heparan sulphates are found in nearly every cell of the body, and are similar to the natural blood-thinning drug, heparin. Now scientists have discovered how to produce them chemically ...

2013-05-29

Interim results of an EORTC intergroup trial have confirmed that adjuvant imatinib impacts short-term freedom from relapse in patients with localized, surgically resected, high/ intermediate-risk GIST. In the high-risk subgroup, a non-statistically significant trend in favor of the adjuvant arm was observed in terms of Imatinib failure-free survival. This new endpoint for the adjuvant setting, survival free from any failure of the first employed tyrosine kinase inhibitor, was designed to incorporate secondary resistance, currently the main factor adversely affecting prognosis ...
