The reality of payment processing in a restaurant environment is an ever changing landscape. PDQ Signature Systems is leading the industry in working with payment processors and restaurant owners to navigate the changing regulations.
"What used to be common practices are now outdated and run counter to the updated PCI requirements, " says Mike Reinecker, sales manager at PDQ Signature Systems.
The major credit card brands (Amex, Mastercard, Visa & Discover) have proposed changes for all merchants accepting credit cards in their places of business. By October 2015, anyone accepting credit cards must be able to accept the "chip and pin" style of card the card brands have been quietly releasing to the population.
Signature Systems, PDQ has been on the front lines of these changes making sure their customers will be 100% ready when the changes are implemented. They can help you even if you are not a customer as well! Signature Systems Point of Sale software is PCI 3.0 compliant, as is the custom POS hardware.
"It's a very scary world right now, starting in October 2015 any credit card breaches could become the merchant's responsibility, not the card brands, " says Reinecker. In order to make sure you are one of the businesses processing cards properly, you need to ensure your POS company understands the entire payment process, not just their liability.
PDQ Signature Systems believes in taking a different approach. While on one hand they are a point of sale company, they also provide network security for your entire restaurant. Securing your network is only the first step in protecting your business. PDQ Signature Systems complete package includes maintaining end point protection on all computers and point of sale terminals, constant monitoring of the network in addition to frequent log monitoring.
PDQ Signature Systems has implemented the VeriFone Vx805 credit card reader. This card reader is both complaint and able to accept the chip and pin cards proposed implementation in October 2015. In addition to that it allows merchants to accept both Google Wallet®, Apple Pay® as well as near field communication cards. This device keeps your business ahead of the PCI compliance requirements.
PDQ Signature Systems is dedicated to safeguarding our customers. "We got started in 1986," says Reinecker. "We built our business by listening to our customers' needs as well as keeping a lookout for industry changes that affect our customers."
