App of the Week – PaidEasy

Save easyDining out is not as easy as it looks especially when you are dining with friends. You know the ones who look the other way when the check comes. Then there is keeping track of what everybody ordered and making sure the check, with tip, is correct. Then you have to take the risk of surrendering your card to a stranger who disappears and returns with the check and a smile. What happened to your card when it was out of sight? That’s why PaidEasy is the App of the Week.

PaidEasy is the new comer to the mobile payments arena but the rookie has got game. The PaidEasy app is described as  “the quickest way to discover merchants, search offers, and open and close bills.”

This payment app uses iBeacon technology to swing into action the second you walk in the door syncing with the merchant’s point-of-sale (POS) system. This rapid fire sequence allows the waitstaff to immediately add items to the bill without having to disappear with your credit card after the meal is finished.

And for those  freeloading friends of yours separate checks is really easy for everybody concerned. The customer can pay immediately with PaidEasy or, get this, just walk out the door knowing that the tab will close within 45 minutes (and include a tip).

But the miracles don’t stop there. PaidEasy provides the merchant with improved table management giving restaurants the ability to address walk-ins and cut down on table turnover.

Want more? The app integrates with Uber, Yelp, and Apple Pay easing the trip to the restaurant. Paid Easy allows customers get to the restaurant, place there order, and choose their payment method. PaidEasy even takes the surprise out of the price by allowing customers to view their bill at any time during the meal.  The final glorious benefit of PaidEasy that the app encrypts the customers credit card data so payment information never visible to the merchant.

PaidEasy is free and currently only available for Apple.
