Vancouver, BC, August 25, 2020 – Ready, a financial technology company that offers seamless self-pay and food ordering solutions to hospitality venues across North America, announced today its partnership with FreedomPay, a global leader in Next Level Commerce™. The partnership combines Ready’s connected dining platform with FreedomPay’s consumer-centric commerce solution to provide a robust, safe, and secure payment option that enhances the consumer experience and adds significant value to the hospitality industry.

“FreedomPay is a leader in global payment processing, so it’s great to welcome them to the Ready partnership ecosystem,” said Laurent May, Head of Ready. “We have a shared vision to bring a highly secure, integrated and seamless experience to the hospitality industry and working together enables that even more. We look forward to the exciting road ahead and offering our solution to all existing FreedomPay customers.”

With this partnership, guests will be able to use their own mobile device to order and pay for their meal without physically exchanging cards, cash or touching a payment terminal. It is a fully integrated, app-free solution that removes all the unnecessary touchpoints that traditional service, ordering kiosks, payment or tableside POS terminals have. The result is an enhanced customer experience and improved service times, all with world-class payment security. Being completely consumer driven and 100% touchless, the solution seamlessly facilitates safe dining practices both on and off-premise and, most importantly, provides a choice for guests at a time when it matters most.

“Short term, our combined solutions allow for hospitality operators to resume next-to-normal operations, allowing a completely safe and touchless end-to-end purchasing experience,” said Chris Kronenthal, President & CTO of FreedomPay. “And in the long term, our partnership will provide merchants and consumers with an unrivalled, intuitive experience that will improve service times dramatically and streamline ordering and payment.”

ShipStation now offers Walmart shipping rates with up to $100 lost-package protection

ShipStation now offers Walmart shipping rates with up to $100 lost-package protection

ShipStation has announced Ship with Walmart. It gives Walmart Marketplace sellers direct access to Walmart-negotiated shipping rates inside the ShipStation platform, plus up to $100 in protection on lost-item claims. Only eligible orders shipped on time are covered by that protection. How much a seller saves depends on its own lanes, so the real work before peak season is comparing rates side by side.

  • 01This matters most to seller-fulfilled Walmart brands shipping U.S. domestic parcels from ShipStation; cross-border volume stays on existing carriers because the launch is domestic only.

Retail tech installs go right the first time when technicians know the why

Retail tech installs go right the first time when technicians know the why

Telaid argues that retail technology installations succeed on the first attempt when technicians understand the purpose and end use of the systems they're deploying, not just the mechanical steps. The company standardizes this understanding through certification programs, pairing new technicians with experienced ones, quality audits with feedback loops, and lifecycle service that extends beyond the initial install.

  • 01Technicians who understand camera aim and sensor height are more likely to catch install errors on site, reducing repeat visits and added disruption.
  • 02Telaid standardizes knowledge transfer across locations by certifying technicians on specific technology and customer requirements, pairing newcomers with experienced installers for their first two or three sites, and maintaining ongoing quality audits with documented lessons learned.
  • 03First-time install success is supported by pre-site coordination like materials, permits, and pre-configuration, plus having the right team so trades don’t block each other.

Santé raises $15M for AI sales agents for liquor stores

Santé raises $15M for AI sales agents for liquor stores

Liquor store POS and payments platform Santé raised $15M to build AI agents aimed at boosting store sales.

  • 01Santé earns from payment processing built into its platform, so its income rises with store sales, and the release says its next AI agents will target slow inventory and lapsed customers.
  • 02Santé’s materials cite a quarter of inventory taking a year or more to earn back its cost, a metric to watch for merchandising-agent impact.
  • 03The sharper question for any liquor POS demo: which agent actions post automatically, like invoice-driven cost updates, and which wait for an owner's approval, like price cuts on slow movers.
