Mahana Releases PEER - the First Apple Pay and Alternative Payment Benchmarking Tool

AUSTIN, Texas - Oct. 21, 2014 - PRLog -- Mahana, the enterprise class iBeacon and Point of Sale intelligence platform, today released the world’s first tool to benchmark the success of Apple Pay and other new payment technologies. The Payment Experience Evaluation Report (PEER) leverages Mahana’s business rules management system and Point of Sale analytics to track payment technology adoption across the hospitality industry.

Restaurant, bar, hotel, and casino properties can now benchmark their implementation, use, and acceptance of emerging mobile payment technologies such as Apple Pay, Bitcoin, PayPal, and OpenTable Mobile Payments against the industry. These new insights answer questions such as which payment methods are being accepted in certain hospitality segments and in specific geographic areas. Knowing which of these emerging payment types consumers are adopting will help merchants decide which ones should be implemented.

“I am bombarded by various companies that ask me to support their new mobile payment option,” said Jack Tan, Mahana advisor, hotel industry executive, and consultant to leading hotel brands globally, “It is difficult to know which of these companies have traction with merchants and consumers. With Mahana’s PEER, I no longer have to guess.”

“The costs of these new payment technologies, including implementation, training, and support are very real. Especially for merchants with several locations,” said Bryan Menell, Mahana CEO. “Our customers will now be able to understand where to make these investments.”
