Lavu and Up ’n go partner on QR code restaurant payments


Lavu, a major global restaurant software and payments solution provider built by restaurant people, and Up ‘n go, a contactless payments provider that powers QR code pay at the table solutions for restaurants nationwide, today announce a partnership that integrates Up ‘n go's pay at the table checkout experience with Lavu's point of sale software to save merchants time and enhance the guest experience.

Starting today, Lavu merchants will be able to automatically generate and print QR codes that guests can scan, using their smartphones to pay as they wish, interacting with an easy-to-use, custom-branded digital check. The payment confirmation is shared directly with the server, a receipt automatically prints at the terminal, the payment is processed seamlessly and it is funded to the restaurant’s bank account. Using a powerful dashboard, merchants have access to detailed sales analytics, allowing them to track volume, payments per hour/day, average payments and tips, as well as payment methods.

Thousands of restaurants can now turn tables 15-20 minutes sooner, serve 20% more tables daily, keep people safe, enhance the guest experience and ultimately, encourage repeat customers. 68% of people surveyed at restaurants using Up ‘n go said they would return to a restaurant because of Up ‘n go.

The integration also meets rapidly evolving consumer behaviors accelerated by the pandemic, most notably the accelerated shift towards digital, contactless payments. 60% of Up ‘n go’s payments are via digital wallets. The following payment methods are available: Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, PayPal, credit cards and gift cards. Diners can also select the option to split the check.

“By integrating Up ‘n go’s pay at the table solutions into our software, we are advancing our mission of helping restaurants simplify operations, empower their staff and provide the best customer experiences,” said Saleem S. Khatri, CEO of Lavu. “The demand is clear, as is the superiority of Up ‘n go’s solutions in the market, making this a logical and natural partnership.”

“At Up ‘n go, we are passionate about using technology to simplify the lives of restaurant owners and to offer the best user experience for diners,” said Touradj Barman, CEO of Up ‘n go. “So there is a natural synergy with Lavu, a mission-driven company and leader in the restaurant tech space. We are excited to partner with them to equip restaurants with the best tools to save time and increase revenues.”
