The latest & greatest from Pej! October edition
We’re happy to announce a series of new features designed to deliver a brilliant guest experience and drive loyalty and success in contract catering.
Multiple Accounts: Add flexibility and convenience
We’re excited to announce the launch of the Multiple Accounts feature in the Pej Benefit & Account platform. Now, a single guest can use multiple accounts, each linked to the same or different programs.
How does it work? For instance, a manager could have a personal prepaid account tied to an employee subsidy program, and a separate business credit account for business-related expenses like team lunches.
Why do you need it? This new feature empowers caterers to offer more tailored solutions, driving satisfaction and sales. For example, while all employees have a daily subsidy, a few of them might also have the option to pay with credit on event days or for special occasions like when onboarding new employees.
Guests get a great experience and do not need to think about managing different payment solutions or manually administrating receipts.
Want to use your spend-or-lose for lunch? Use Pej. Paying for the team lunch this Friday? Use Pej.
Connected Device API: Access to benefits and business food accounts anywhere
Introducing the Connected Device API, designed to make it easy for guests to access coffee subscriptions, meal plans and food for business occasions through smart fridges, vending machines, and [insert any connected device].
How does it work? The Connected Device API is built to extend the Pej Benefit & Account functionalities to connected devices. This API allows seamless integration, ensuring guests can enjoy the full benefits of their prepaid value, subsidies, and personal discounts — no matter where they buy their food.
Why do you need it? For site operators, this feature ensures that all transactions, regardless of the purchase location, are consolidated in one system and fiscalised consistently.
This not only simplifies management but also ensures accurate accounting and reporting across all connected devices.
Guests access their benefits and discounts across various purchase points, from the office cafeteria to a vending machine down the hall. Whether it's a quick snack or a full meal, the process remains smooth and unified.
RFID integration: For a faster and better payment experience
The RFID Integration is designed to provide seamless support for a wide range of RFID readers and tags across your entire business.
How does it work? With this integration, employees can easily make purchases using their access card or company badge. Pej supports identification through a large variety of readers including the popular solutions Elatec and STid.
Why do you need it? Guests can use their existing access card or badge as an identifier. Before Pej, many catering operators relied on searching for employee names in an Excel sheet or using pen and paper as an identification method — a time-consuming and outdated tactic. With Pej, you can go from several complex integrations per site to one interface that is easy to implement.
