VANCOUVER, B.C., Oct. 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glance Technologies Inc. (“Glance” or the “Company”) (CSE:GET.CN) (OTCQB:GLNNF) (FKT:GJT) is pleased to announce it has become the preferred mobile payments solution of the British Columbia Restaurant & Food Services Association (“BCRFA”), positioning the Company to promote its mobile payments solution to the BCRFA’s 3,000 plus members.
As Glance positions itself to significantly enhance its merchant-facing solutions with the launch of the Glance PayMeTM platform, this partnership agreement with the BCRFA provides Glance with the opportunity to connect directly with the thousands of independent restaurants and chain locations across B.C. that make up the association’s membership.
“Providing BCRFA members with the best solutions in the industry is our mandate and Glance provides the best mobile payment solution for our members,” says BCRFA President Ian Tostenson. “After having carefully evaluated other mobile payment solutions and gaining insight from successful locations that currently accept Glance Pay, Glance provides the most robust technology powered by their superior anti-fraud protection. I know first-hand, as a user, that Glance Pay is the best-in-class option for our association,” he says.
Now fully integrated with 15 leading POS systems that represent more than 500,000 installations across North America, the Glance Pay app provides fast and easy mobile payments, built-in digital rewards, and efficiency-enhancing advantages for businesses in the food service industry and beyond.
“Entering into this partnership provides Glance with the incredible opportunity of becoming the BCRFA’s mobile payments company of choice, and our Glance Pay app of becoming the preferred solution recommended to the thousands of restaurants and chain locations that make up its membership,” says Glance Technologies CEO Desmond Griffin.
“This endorsement aligns well with Glance’s aggressive growth plans and our readiness to showcase our cutting-edge solutions to this highly competitive industry that needs Glance’s solution to solve its operational pain points and boost bottom-line revenue,” he says.
More than 530,000 restaurant businesses across Canada and the U.S. are represented by food service industry associations and the BCRFA partnership allows Glance access to this alliance under a highly reputable recommendation.
Glance also announced today that further to its press release dated July 5, 2018, Steamworks Group of Companies has successfully completed its trial of Glance’s mobile payment solution, Glance Pay, and is now live at all four locations.
