American Nightlife Association’s Nightlife Recovery Program Endorses Harbortouch as its Post-Covid Preferred POS Partner
The American Nightlife Association (ANA) is a U.S. industry trade association, advocating for nightclubs & bars, their staff, suppliers and guests. ANA recently established the Nightlife Recovery Program to provide relief for bars, restaurants and nightclubs, and to help venues stay open, lower operating costs, and generate revenue now.
As low as 20% of venues said they would survive the economic downturn with just pick-up or delivery. Venues expect a 30% reduction in revenue on indoor dining social distancing rules. Nightlife is the heart of any city’s downtown arts and culture. For every $1 spent, $12 gets spent locally to surrounding businesses. Nightlife contributes $900 billion in economic impact and employs 15 million employees.
The launch of the Nightlife Recovery Program and the association’s endorsement of Harbortouch comes at a critical time for the nightlife industry. This partnership will help all venues transition to delivery, curbside pickup, online ordering, and contactless payments. Harbortouch offers numerous tools to help businesses adapt to a post-COVID operating environment. The company’s wireless SkyTab device is a state-of-the-art solution for mobile, contactless payments – perfect for pay-at-the-table, curbside payments and delivery.
Harbortouch also recently launched a new, contactless payment technology called QR Pay. This solution allows consumers to pay their bill by simply scanning a QR code on the check and completing the transaction on their phone. There is no additional charge for the company’s clients to implement QR Pay on their payment devices. Harbortouch has also temporarily waived online ordering fees, gift card fees, mobile payment fees, and SkyTab hardware costs to help ease the financial burden for restaurants, bars and other nightlife venues.
Transaction volume continues to grow across the country as merchants and patrons continue to find innovative ways to continue to conduct commerce during the pandemic. Nation-wide, transaction volumes are 165% above their March lows. Growth continued to accelerate in June with 43 states experiencing transaction volume that is over 10% above the last week in May. Restaurants are now experiencing the largest increases from the depths of the pandemic.
ANA President JC Diaz states, “We are always looking to provide unique benefits for our members, and Harbortouch gives our members access to a valuable state-of-the-art solution that can have an immediate, positive financial impact on any business’ bottom line.”
