For a food delivery company, providing customers with a time efficient way to put a meal on the table  is the premise of their business model. Customers search online for their meal choices for the week or select individual grocery items, adding them to their cart. The checkout process is simple; enter the payment and delivery information and voila, meal problem solved.

But what happens when delivery day arrives and your customer realizes they forget the noodles for the fettuccine alfredo for the night’s dinner? A simple swipe of the customer’s credit or debit card through the PayAnywhere mobile credit card reader can eliminate the woes of a forgotten food item, and make you the hero of the meal time drama. With PayAnywhere customers can purchase and pay for additional items on the spot, providing they are stocked in your truck. Notice a certain item selling more in one neighborhood? Send your team out with extra stock and they can up-sell to customers when they make a delivery. If, for example, tiramisu is often sold with lasagna, have your drivers suggest the dessert to those who may have forgot to order. Have overstock of an item that needs to be sold right away? Send these items out with your deliver drivers so they can offer them up at the door as a special sale.

When you don’t have to worry about how you will bill your customer for their purchases your delivery drivers are freed-up to offer your customers a host of additional items and services. PayAnywhere places a full mobile credit card processing solution into the hands of delivery staff. The capabilities offered by PayAnywhere allow food delivery employees to conduct face-to-face transactions on the spot, while also providing their employer with a detailed inventory of products sold, discounts accounted for and detailed reports for the day’s deliveries.  Why shouldn’t your payment processing solution be as mobile as the bread and butter of your business?

For companies that serve customers who may not have Internet access and prefer ordering via catalog, the added security PayAnywhere provides means that you can swipe your customer’s cards upon delivery and assure them that their information is highly secure, protected by PayAnywhere’s PCI compliant service, and never stored on the device.
