Glance Pay Announces Entry into Mobile Order-ahead Market

VANCOUVER, April 18, 2017 /CNW/ - Glance Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: GLNNF) (CSE:GET.CN) (CSE:GET.RT) (FKT:GJT) is pleased to announce its upcoming mobile order-ahead capabilities which will allow customers to instantly order for pick-up off the menu of participating restaurants and pay instantly on their mobile device.

Anyone who has ever stopped by their favourite cafe to pick up a morning cappuccino and saw a long line at the counter will understand the relief of being able to simply pre-order and pre-pay for their bill through their own mobile device. This ability to cut the line and pay directly with a mobile phone is catching like wildfire. With the rise of mobile order-ahead apps tailored specifically for chains such as Taco Bell, and Starbucks' order for pick-up mobile app, current evaluations of the mobile order-ahead market are estimated at $38 billion by 2020, and will account for 10.7% of the quick-serve industry sales alone. Already, Starbucks' mobile in-app orders represents 10% of total orders at high-volume stores. Similarly, ordering dinner for takeout at customers' favourite restaurants is often a repetitive affair where customers usually call in to order the same items every time and wait in line to pay when they pick up their food. With Glance Pay's order-ahead capabilities, users can select from previous orders then simply walk in and grab their food without dealing with payment in the restaurant.

"This is another natural evolution of our platform which allows us to continue to leverage our growing network of merchants and consumers," says Desmond Griffin, Glance's Chief Executive Officer, "We're providing restaurants with a complete product for their entire ordering, payment, and loyalty needs that meets the new standard for services at restaurants that consumers have come to expect."

With Glance's singular, frictionless mobile order-ahead app, any restaurant or business can offer their customers more than just an in-store experience by tapping into the popularity of pre-ordering with digital expediency and security in mind. People already have the latest technology, their mobile phone, with them, which allows Glance to provide a fantastic ordering experience at any restaurant without restaurants having to create an entire mobile application of their own. As Glance continues to scale and expand its innovative technology throughout the restaurant industry, users can continue to benefit from great rewards, automatic digital receipt tracking, and exclusive promotions.
