Innovative POS solution for German arena accommodates today’s food and beverage sales while easing transactions at the POS
AUGSBURG,
ratiopharm arena holds up to 9,000 visitors for concerts and sporting events. The forty RealPOS™ 25 terminals deployed at ratiopharm arena are easy to operate thanks to their intuitive touchscreen, increasing the productivity of venue employees.
“We aim to provide the best possible customer service for our guests,” said Vera Gauß, Controlling at ratiopharm arena. “Deploying technology that integrates with our card system speeds up transactions for visitors, and provides the reliability and functionality that we need. We selected NCR and payment solution services because of their established relationship and innovative technology suited to the demands of entertainment venues.”
The entire venue is being furnished with cashless, efficient and energy-saving catering services. The ratiopharm arena card is equipped with an RFID chip for contactless payment and allows visitors to simply and quickly complete food and beverage transactions. To pay, visitors place the card on the reader and the amount is deducted. The display on the RFID reader is connected to NCR POS technology, showing the billing amount as well as the amount remaining on the card so that customers can keep track of their balance.
“A reliable and easy transaction is important for an arena with high
customer volumes, since every second removed from a transaction
contributes to improved income and profits,” said
The e-payment system is completely functional offline and highly reliable. With an eye toward the future, various subsystems can be integrated, such as ticketing, admission, parking and stays at local hotels. The solution should help create a positive impact on sales volume and customer satisfaction with flexibility for the arena to add new features and services going forward.
“In the end, all those involved benefit from the cashless payment
system,” said
