Up 'n go

Up 'n go is a pay-at-table system for table-service restaurants. Guests scan a QR code on the check, or a text link, to pay, with Apple Pay and Google Pay, and can split the check, tip and leave feedback. It also offers handheld tap-to-pay terminals. It works with the restaurant's own POS and processor and is sold to single sites, groups and franchises.
