BOSTON, Oct. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- BlueSnap, an online payments technology company, today announced that CEO Ralph Dangelmaier and Jon Squire, CEO and founder of mobile wallet platform CardFree, will be joined by Scott Hudler, chief marketing officer of Torchy's Tacos in a panel discussion entitled "Payment Happy-Hour" at the 2019 Money20/20 Conference in Las Vegas on Oct. 30. Attendees will learn how integrated payments can provide better experiences for consumers and restaurateurs at both traditional and quick service restaurants.
As partners in providing integrated solutions for restaurants, BlueSnap and CardFree are making the payment process easier for customers and restaurateurs alike. "Payment Happy-Hour" will show how the new solutions are helping restaurants compete with big chains that utilize apps for payments.
"Customers are becoming increasingly comfortable with alternative forms of payment including e-wallets, ACH, and merchant stored value cards. It's important for restaurants to not only embrace these alternative forms, but also integrate them with app-free mobile payments," said BlueSnap's Dangelmaier, a 25-year veteran of the payments industry.
Jon Squire founded CardFree in 2012 with a vision of filling a gap in the marketplace for an integrated commerce platform for merchants. He has over 20 years of experience in financial services and emerging technologies. "Forward-thinking restaurants realize that consumers are continuously searching for the most convenient, intuitive and secure dining experiences," Squire noted. "In a highly competitive industry, digital conveniences can make all the difference."
"Constant advancement in payment technology is creating challenges for restaurants that are struggling to adapt fast enough, but we encourage them to view the pressure as an opportunity for growth," Dangelmaier added. "Meeting modern diners' demand for services like mobile Order-Ahead, pay at the table, offer notifications and seamless loyalty programs requires collaboration, and we're excited to see how it will strengthen the restaurant industry."
"Payment Happy-Hour" will take place on Oct. 30 from 10:05 to 10:30 a.m. on the Revolution Rock Stage at The Venetian Las Vegas. The session will be moderated by Jamie Toplin, senior research analyst for Business Insider Intelligence.
