A seldom used, but convenient way to use Up 'n go is to leave printed "chits" on tables. They are secure from hacking and let guests retrieve and pay their checks at any time during the dining process. If you aren't using Up 'n go in your restaurant yet, reach out and we can customize a pay at table setup that is best for your restaurant's operations!
Up 'n go circa 2019. What happens around 5:30pm at my desk? Somehow I end up in my Apple Photos app going down memory lane. I stumbled across this alternative QR code option we've always been able to provide, but almost never did... except back in the day at Cali BBQ, where we used to test lots of things! This here is referred to as a "chit." It's a printout specific to a check, but not the actual check. There are no printed line items or totals. A server could leave this at the table anytime during the dining experience and the guest(s) can scan any time to see what's on their check and pay without even asking the server for the check first. What's nice about this compared to the static QR codes some competitors put on tables, is that it goes directly to your check, won't end up displaying the check from the wrong table, and it can't be hacked. (One risky bet you take with static QR codes on tables is that fraudsters can replace them with alternative, malicious static QR codes to capture your money instead of you, but I digress...) Practice makes perfect, they say, but it also trends you towards one way of doing things. After 25 million people have paid with Up 'n go in thousands of restaurants, some things have become the standard approach, such as printing our dynamic QR codes on checks, and so we don't take these fun diversions. I still think chits are a great QR payment option for restaurants!
