The “quick service restaurant” model in the Philippines has seen a lot of growth over the years. A market once dominated by the country’s top fast food chains has since expanded to include numerous small-to-medium-sized Filipino businesses. Top quick service establishments in the country now include those dedicated to ready-made meals, coffee, pastries, and milk tea. Filipino customers favor the quick service model because it’s convenient, and they value the quality and promptness of the service as much as the affordability and palatability of the food.
Nowadays, there’s a lot of pressure on quick service restaurants to modernize and improve their services in order to stay ahead of their competition. Aside from ensuring the quality and fast delivery of their product, quick service restaurateurs can answer this call by modernizing their payment systems. Customers are currently seeking out safe, convenient, and speedy ways to pay for their items as an alternative to cash. The establishments that offer their customers a wide range of payment options—and promises to implement them properly—are likely the ones that are guaranteed to survive or thrive.
If you own a quick service restaurant, consider using Maya ONE for your cashless payments. Maya ONE is a fast, responsive, and all-in-one payment device that will stay up to speed with your quick service restaurant’s operations. The machine—and its use of Maya’s payment gateway—will increase the speed, accuracy, and convenience of your customers’ overall payment experience. With Maya ONE, you can treat your Filipino customers to service that’s up to standard. Here are six reasons why it’s a good idea to acquire the device for your own quick service restaurant.
You might be apprehensive about buying new machines and learning new technologies for your food business. After all, any new system will take time to learn. But those who’ve already deployed Maya ONE for their quick service food establishments say that the device is very straightforward and easy to use. It boasts a clean, visually engaging, and intuitive interface that helps both operators and customers understand what’s happening in the payment process. Plus, you can even customize your credit card point-of-sales terminal to reflect your food business’s branding.
Credit, debit, and prepaid cards are all accepted by the Maya ONE device. Customers who’ll pay for their food using a payment card can safely do so either by dipping, tapping, or swiping it through the terminal. Their payments will register right away, which adds to the overall speed and smoothness of their purchasing experience.
Another key advantage of Maya ONE is its ability to complete a variety of cashless payments. One example is the use of Near Field Communication (NFC) touchless payment. That’s the technology that allows customers to pay using mobile wallets from their smartphones or laptops, as well as various contactless cards. Maya ONE also gives customers the option to pay for their food by scanning QR codes. After a quick scan of the matrix barcode from their own mobile devices, they will have completed payment for their food.
The Maya ONE device is designed for seamless integration into your point-of-sale (POS) system. As soon as you acquire the machine, you’ll be able to set it up to work with your electronic cash register. But Maya ONE is also compatible with newer technologies, like self-ordering kiosks. Whether it’s from the cash register or from these kiosks, your customers can swiftly pay for their food orders with Maya ONE. At the end of the day, this allows you to streamline your restaurant’s payment processes and account for every peso you made from these transactions.
Maya designed this machine and its accompanying system for optimum safety and privacy. Maya ONE possesses an ATEX certification, which guarantees its safety as an electronic device when uses in potentially explosive atmospheres. This certification should be of assurance to you if your quick service establishment is near a gas station, or if you use gaseous fuels for cooking or heating food. The device is also compliant to the Payment Card Industry-Data Security Standard, which is meant to safeguard cardholder data. Lastly, it is EMV-certified and offers increased security for EMV payment cardholders. Every time your customers use this device to pay for their food, they’re assured that their private data and personal safety are always upheld.
Your partnership with Maya doesn’t end with the purchase of the Maya ONE device. You can always contact Maya’s customer support team for enterprise if you need any help in your implementation. Maya’s staff are very knowledgeable of the product and can entertain any questions you have about it on a 24/7 basis.
As the quick service restaurant industry evolves, so will the demands of customers. They will always be on the lookout for establishments that can deliver the best all-around experience—from delicious food to responsive service. Upgrading your payment system to include an all-in-one device, like Maya ONE, will guarantee your restaurant a spot in their future.
