Embed, a provider of cashless business management systems and solutions for the amusement, entertainment and leisure industries, has made its mobile wallet free to customers, according to a press release. A virtual game card sits in the mobile wallet so family entertainment centers can offer customers contactless payment. There is no app required.

"At Embed, we want to do our part to support our customers prepare for their reopening day," Renee Welsh, CEO, said in the press release. "Plus, we are in the process of adding capacity management to our mobile portal, which will also be included. Knowing how important it is to our customers to have contactless payments to safeguard their overall customer experience, we felt this would be the most powerful demonstration of our commitment to our customers and our industry's recovery." 

"A new type of customer will emerge from this pandemic," Welsh said. "After a long-lockdown period the surge of consumers will emerge and only go to businesses they perceive as safe. They will be more conscious of hygiene, price and social distancing than ever before. It is unmistakable that people don't want to touch cash, coins, papers or anything that transmits viruses. This acts as a forcing function for our industry to became tech-savvy overnight. Embed has the contactless solution in the mobile wallet and mobile portal that the industry needs to recover, so it feels right and good that we give it away for free."
