75% of hospitality businesses invest in payment operation upgrades equipment, at best, once a decade. 

This upgrade cycle creates critical problems - especially when looking at the most important asset of the hospitality business - the employees.

In addition to not taking into account customer preferences, this strategy ignores the interests of hospitality workers, who, according to 82% of polled employees, prefer fast tip payouts.

The hospitality sector faces significant payout challenges, especially when it comes to: 

  • Paying employees on their preferred schedule
  • Accommodating seasonal changes 
  • Moving money faster and more easily than current systems might allow

In response to these problems, integrated payout systems such as MassPay are coming up with creative ways to increase employee happiness and expedite financial processes.

  • Salons & Spas

Personal care services requiring precise payment handling for tips and gratuities.

 

  • Events

  • Accommodations
