TouchBistro Lets Diners Pay at Table with PayPal Mobile App

Toronto’s TouchBistro today announced that it has integrated the Pay at Table service in the PayPal app with its TouchBistro mobile point of sale (POS) solution used by the food and drink industry for tableside ordering.

Customers at any participating TouchBistro location in North America can now use the PayPal app on their smartphones to access, view, and quickly and easily pay for their food and drinks – without having to ask their server for their bill or wait for them to process the transaction.

Toronto’s Boëhmer is one of the first restaurants to use the Pay at Table feature as an integrated TouchBistro solution.

The new Pay at Table service is easy to use. Customers simply check in to the restaurant from the PayPal app when they arrive, and the server uses the TouchBistro app to assign them to a table or seat. When the server places the customer’s food or drink order from within the TouchBistro app, the details are automatically reflected in real time on the customer’s mobile device.

Tapping the “See Bill” button in the PayPal app, customers can view their bill at any time, and when ready to pay they can add a tip, or split the bill and check out with PayPal. Once customers confirm payment, transaction details are quickly updated in the TouchBistro app, enabling servers to immediately see when the customer’s bill has been settled.

In March TouchBistro completed a $6 million financing round and was named to the Techvibes 20 in April.
