Everybody eats. Almost everybody eats out. With such a large audience to serve, tech hospitality is one that keeps on growing. It\u2019s the rough competition that comes with this kind of industry which often causes a company to consider pivoting and propelling itself out of the present and into the future. Which is exactly what Flypay have done with their new platform Flyt. Their Digital Designer, Matthew O\u2019Connor<\/a>, talks us through their rebrand and their new mission.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s our job to eliminate the pain points of eating out which, unsurprisingly, falls under transactions.\"<\/p><\/span><\/blockquote>\n

Three years ago, Flypay<\/a> was founded by Tom Weaver and Chris Evans after seeing the potential to improve transactions in the hospitality industry using tech. They\u2019d conducted research which showed that waiting for the cheque and paying the bill in a restaurant would take an average of 10 minutes (but in some instances up to 1 hour). So, they developed an app which allowed customers to pay in full or split their bill whilst seated at a table in a restaurant serviced by Flypay. Making the process simpler, faster and happier.<\/p>\n

The thing that set Flypay apart from it\u2019s competitors is its integration with ePOS (Electronic Point of Sale) systems. Also the reason why they house such a large number of developers - because they talk directly to ePOS. Their competitors fell behind and didn\u2019t do this. Leaving Flypay at an advantage, where Weaver and Evans found grounds for their pivot to focus on Flyt<\/a>.<\/p>\n
