VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 05, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glance Technologies Inc. (“Glance” or the “Company”) (CSE:GET) (OTCQB:GLNNF) (FKT:GJT) reported today on the success of its Real-Time Bill™ feature. Real-Time Bill™ enables users to view and self-pay their bill in real time directly from the Glance Pay® App. The app identifies the user’s bill based on Quick Response (QR) codes or Near-field communication (NFC) tags at their table and integrates directly with the merchant’s point of sale system.
Glance has now launched nine locations with Real-Time Bill™ and the results have been even better than expected. “We are seeing a significant increase in the number of transactions processed through the Glance Pay® app at locations that have introduced Real-Time Bill™. In some cases we have seen increases of over 300% in the 30 days following the launch of Real-Time Bill™ as compared to the number of transactions processed in the 30 days prior using previous versions of our product” says CEO Desmond Griffin, “Customers appreciate not having to wait for a bill and the speed and convenience of paying with their phone, especially when they are in a hurry, or paying separately as part of a group.”
Carl McCreath, President, Steamworks Group of Companies had this to say about Real-Time Bill™: “The increase in labour costs has been a very real problem for the restaurant industry. Glance has been a true partner to the Steamworks Group of Companies and has delivered through genuine service and innovation. As we transitioned from Glance's PayByPhoto technology to Real Time Bill™, we have seen an even bigger increase in guest adoption, guest satisfaction and time savings for our servers. Glance Pay® continues to make a positive impact on my bottom line”.
Glance’s sales team is currently focused on converting more of its PayByPhoto locations to Real-Time Bill™ and signing up more customers for Real-Time Bill™.
