The enhanced RAIL device is engineered to accept chip-based payment card from the table and integrate with restaurant POS systems from MICROS, NCR Aloha, Squirrel and Dinerware.
EMV chip credit cards are embedded with a microchip and require a PIN and a signature to complete the transaction process. The EMV-enabled RAIL device is set to communicate with the chip inside the customer’s smart card to determine whether or not the card is authentic.
The RAIL is a handheld device that allows guests to self-swipe credit, debit or smart cards, auto-calculate the tip, split the bill in a number of ways, pay-by-item, and receive email receipts.
Dickie Brennan restaurants in New Orleans, including The Palace Café and Tableau, are among those to introduce the RAIL payment devices to their guests.
Sonny’s BBQ, a barbeque restaurant company, is piloting the enhanced RAIL payment device in select restaurants.
