Zapper, the mobile payments and digital marketing company, is announcing its expansion into Switzerland. The Swiss rollout is happening, in part, thanks to a new relationship with the Swiss start-up iKentoo.

Zapper was launched in October 2013 and already has thousands of independent restaurants and chains using the system internationally. In Switzerland the Café du Centre in Geneva is the first restaurant using Zapper. For the rollout Zapper cooperates with iKentoo, the pioneering ePOS provider, with whom Zapper is the integrated solution. These systems, which now power the mobile payment processes of Café du Centre, allow diners to pay at their own convenience using the free Zapper app.

Through the Zapper for Restaurants service, a QR code will automatically be printed on the bill. Diners can then scan the QR code using the Zapper app to pay the bill without the wait for a card terminal. The diner can easily add a tip or split the bill, all through one app. At the same time, Zapper learns the diner’s preferences, allowing restaurants to build a strong community and provide targeted offers and promotions.

The Zapper and iKentoo partnership, which sees Zapper integrated in all systems, is an extension to iKentoo's existing POS offering. Zapper is able to provide iKentoo with an advanced mobile payments platform, access to their experience in the sector, and a consistent user experience. Together, Zapper and iKentoo will be better positioned to cater to a businesses' needs, both present and future.

As one of the oldest brasseries in Geneva, Café du Centre is disproving the belief that traditional establishments are resistant to embrace new technology such as mobile payments. In fact, this new technology will help free up time for their waiters as they won’t be chasing the card machine or waiting for a large group to individually pay. With Zapper, the restaurant will also be able to build up a community of diners and welcome them back to the restaurant with tailored promotions.

Blaise Gumy, Operations Director for Café du Centre, said “We are delighted to simplify further the payment processes for our customers with Zapper’s effective and consumer-friendly app”.

Following Café du Centre, Zapper will also be available at Geneva restaurants Vinnie’s, Les 3 Verres, and Le Chat Rouge, and many more restaurants in the region.

The Zapper app is available for AndroidiOS and Windows Phone platforms.
