Introducing Advanced Payment Solutions by Oracle
Oracle is reimagining the landscape of hospitality solutions by introducing innovative payment features designed to enhance guest experiences and operational efficiency. Their latest update includes options for charitable giving at checkout, expanded payment devices, and new regional availability, ensuring a seamless experience for both guests and hospitality brands.
Elevating Charitable Giving
A standout feature of the updated Oracle Payments platform is the ability for hospitality brands to facilitate charitable donations directly at the point of sale. This initiative is meant to enhance customer engagement during checkout, turning a simple transaction into an opportunity for guests to contribute to meaningful causes.
Benefits for Hospitality Brands
Integrating charitable giving into the payment process not only boosts guest satisfaction but also enhances the brand's image in the community. As stated by Matthew Gilmour, a leader in technology for Big Boy Restaurant Group, providing guests with the option to give back is a win-win situation. This not only helps communities but aligns with Oracle's mission to simplify operations while fostering positive interactions.
New Features to Transform Operations
With the rollout of Oracle Payments in Canada, hospitality brands will have access to compliant solutions tailored to local contexts. This classic yet modern approach allows businesses to ensure local tax adherence while accepting various payment methods. Additionally, the platform now includes advanced payment devices that meet the current technological standards.
Advanced Payment Devices
The new VeriFone M450 multilane device boasts an intuitive 8" color touchscreen, accommodating various payment methods including EMV and mobile. Coupled with the AMS1 mobile terminal, hospitality staff can facilitate on-the-go checkouts with secure connectivity, ensuring an efficient payment process.
Streamlining the Customer Journey
Understanding the need for convenience, Oracle has also introduced simplified remote payment options. This allows hotels to send mobile-optimized payment links, making it easier for guests to manage payments from anywhere, thus enhancing the overall guest experience.
Integration with OPERA Cloud
Furthermore, Oracle Payments now integrates seamlessly with OPERA Cloud, expediting the check-in process for guests. This feature allows electronic registration and the review of terms and conditions to be completed online, providing an efficient and hassle-free experience.
Expanding Availability
In addition to hospitality establishments, Oracle Payments is broadening its reach to spas, gift shops, and parking services, ensuring that more venues can accept payments seamlessly. This united approach is part of Oracle's commitment to make payment transactions simpler and more reliable across various domains within the hospitality industry.
Driving Positive Connections
As Chris Adams, senior vice president of Industry Embedded Finance at Oracle, emphasizes, enabling charitable contributions and expanding payment capabilities allow brands to create lasting connections with their guests. By personalizing services and promoting operational efficiency, Oracle is dedicated to making each interaction count.
