CardFree,Torchy's Tacos embrace new contactless ordering and services

According to the press release, in November 2020, CardFree updated Torchy’s online ordering and on-premise contactless services, which are now live in Torchy’s locations in Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, and Oklahoma. To add to consumer ease, Torchy's is also piloting easier curbside pickup with 'I'm Here' notifications that can be initiated from the order confirmation.

Other contactless features will be added to Torchy’s suite of services over the next few months of 2021, such as Order@Table for dine-in customers who want to add drinks or food to their tables after receiving their initial order. Besides, thanks to CardFree's Text-to-Pay solution, customers that phone-in orders will also have the ability to pay via mobile, eliminating the need to give credit card information over the phone. Text-to-Pay enables restaurants to send text links to consumers to initiate and complete payment in seconds.

Overall, CardFree’s contactless services include Pay@Table, which enables dine-in customers to pay their bills without waiting for the check, Order@Table, which enables ordering via mobile and Text-to-Pay, which can be used for both phone-orders and drive-thru mobile payments.
