Italian restaurant group Prezzo has launched an app that enables diners to pay for their meal using their smartphone, for use in the company’s 186 Italian restaurants across the UK.
Diners will no longer need to wait for the bill or card machine to pay for their meal because the app puts diners in control by allowing them to view their bill on their smartphone at anytime during their meal, and to pay when they wish to leave the restaurant.
It also allows diners to split the bill with friends as well as to add a tip. Once the transaction has gone through, an email receipt is sent to the smartphone user.
In order to use the app diners select the relevant Prezzo restaurant and are given a four digit code. They then give the code to the waiter with their order and from then are in control of the payment.
Prezzo chief executive Jonathan Kaye said: “We are pleased to be the first UK wide restaurant chain to offer this exciting payment technology to diners in our restaurants through their mobile apps.
“We are a forward-thinking company and are always looking at new ways to make our guests’ experience at our restaurants more enjoyable.
“This app puts them in control when it comes to paying the bill and I am confident that it will prove both popular and successful.”
Payment can be made by debit or credit card and also using PayPal. Payment is powered by MyCheck.
