Las Vegas, Nevada (April 12, 2007) – Charlie Brown’s Steakhouse has signed a contract with Shift4 Corporation to provide payment processing solutions, including installation of Shift4’s Secure Driver for legacy MICROS point-of-sale (POS) systems. The partnership will provide fast, reliable, and secure credit card processing powered by Shift4's DOLLARS ON THE NET® with Tokenization technology at more than 60 Charlie Brown’s Steakhouse locations in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.
The Shift4 Secure Driver is the only driver that can claim no cardholder information is ever stored in the POS application, database or server. It gives food and beverage and hospitality businesses a cost-effective alternative to a complete POS system upgrade and the purchase of related hardware. In selecting the Shift4 solution, Charlie Brown's Steakhouse cited an immediate need for security as well as PCI compliance.
“Our mission is to act in the best interest of Charlie Brown's by providing a secure and compliant solution within the required timeframe. Charlie’s Brown’s is among a growing number of merchants who are expressing an urgent need for a credit card payment solution that can deliver real security and PCI compliance, yet may not want to upgrade their entire system at this time. Shift4 is in a unique position to deliver a proven solution and we are doing everything possible to reach as many merchants as we can,” said Rick Adams, Shift4 Manager of Business Development (Food & Beverage).
The largest steakhouse chain in New Jersey with additional locations in New York and Pennsylvania, Charlie Brown's is known for its high quality, fresh food and good value. www.charliebrowns.com.
