Restaurateurs and Customers Benefit From Mobuyle(TM) Restaurant Mobile Payment Acceptance Solution From Heartland Payment Systems(R)
(firmenpresse) - CHICAGO, IL -- (Marketwire) -- 05/07/12 -- With an increasing number of restaurateurs seeking to accept/process card payments anywhere inside and outside a restaurant, Heartland Payment Systems (NYSE: HPY) today unveiled its Mobuyle Restaurant solution, which enables restaurateurs to accept credit, debit and gift card payments through Android smartphones and mobile devices.
As one of the first secure, mobile payment applications fully designed and developed by a leading card payments processor, Mobuyle can be used by existing Heartland card restaurant merchants (new Heartland merchants must open an account) by downloading the free application at Google Play and purchasing a Mobuyle Encrypting Card Reader from Heartland ( or 866-941-1477). Restaurateurs then simply plug the reader into an Android smartphone or mobile device audio jack and swipe cards to process customer transactions from anywhere inside or outside a restaurant.
Simple to use, Mobuyle puts full terminal capabilities into the hands of restaurant staff while also enabling them to accept card payments with Store and Forward (SAF) functionality, giving them the ability to accept payments, even if they are out of range of cellular coverage or Wi-Fi access. These robust capabilities allow servers to accept tableside card payments while also expanding restaurateurs' payment options to coincide with their business offerings, including:
- speeds up the transaction process by allowing food runners/servers to accept car-side payments without having to go back into a restaurant to process a payment.
- enables restaurateurs with catering services to accept card payments onsite during an event and the embedded SAF functionality is beneficial at isolated or remote locations/venues.
- instead of paying more for card-not-present transactions, restaurateurs can now equip their delivery drivers with Mobuyle to accept payments at the door of a food delivery.
With Mobuyle, restaurant merchants pay rates similar to those for traditional card processing, which is much more cost-effective than paying a higher, flat fee for all transactions like some other providers charge. In accordance with The Merchant Bill of Rights and its advocacy for the clear, straightforward presentation of processing costs, Heartland follows an interchange-plus pricing model which passes card brand fees directly through to the merchant and charges processing fees separately, making it easier for restaurant merchants to see what they are paying, and to whom. Restaurateurs also save money by working with Heartland directly and bypassing third-party provider fees.
For restaurant customers, Mobuyle has tip capability that allows them to include a tip and then digitally sign their receipt before it's printed or emailed to them. Additionally, the various convenient payment options reduce the opportunity for skimming, as the card never leaves the customer's sight.
To further ensure security, Mobuyle converts customer payment data into random characters using AES encryption, the most secure encryption available. Sensitive cardholder data is never stored on the Android mobile device and the information is encrypted from the moment of card swipe or keyed entry throughout the transaction process. This protects cardholder data as well as merchants by augmenting their PCI compliance.
"Restaurant merchants are finding mobile to be an outstanding alternative to traditional terminals and Heartland is leading the charge in providing a secure and comprehensive mobile payment acceptance solution," said Mike English, Heartland's executive director of product development. "By accepting credit, debit and gift card payments through Android smartphones and mobile devices, Mobuyle enables restaurateurs and their staff to enhance the overall customer experience."
