March 2012
mHITs will be demonstrating its Q-Jumper SMS mobile ordering and payment solution at the CafeBiz 2012 trade exhibition in Sydney Australia on 18 -19 March 2012.
In Australia, mHITs operates the mHITs mobile wallet that allows users to send and receive payments via SMS text message. The mHITs service also supports retail Point Of Sale mobile ordering and payment via it’s Q-Jumper solution targeted specifically at the retail food and beverage industry.
Take-away coffee represents an ideal product for the mHITs service because it satisfies a number of key drivers necessary for the uptake of mobile ordering and payment. This includes the fact that take-way coffee is a recurring purchase made from the same venue, by the same person, sometimes several times a day. The fact also that at busy times, throughput of orders are sometimes limited by how many orders staff can manage over-the-counter means that Q-Jumper represents cost saving and efficiency improvement for busy venues.
Take-up of any new payment service and technology needs to be driven by factors such as need, convenience and benefit for consumers. As a recurring beverage transaction that satisfies these criteria, coffee is well placed to drive the take-up of new mobile payment services such as mHITs. According to Datamonitor, by 2013 the size of the hot drinks product market in Australia alone is expected to be around $AU 1.4Bn.
