Connected Venues · The door-opener product
Stronger cellphone signal. Faster transactions. Free to the merchant.
Carrier-funded in-venue cellular coverage. Dead zones disappear, card readers and order pads stay connected, and guests finally have the signal to post, tag and check in on-premise — at $0 setup and $0 monthly.
What Connected Venues is
A free fix for something every merchant complains about.
Merchants lose money to weak in-venue cellular coverage every day — customers can’t load a menu or split a bill, staff order pads drop mid-shift, and card readers time out in the middle of a transaction. Connected Venues installs the in-venue coverage that makes all of it work, and the carriers fund the deployment.
For an agent, that is a conversation nobody else in the market is having. You walk in with a free operational fix instead of a rate quote, and processing, hardware, POS, gateway and the savings network all become the second conversation.
Fewer dropped transactions
Strong coverage keeps POS, KDS and order pads connected, so contactless EMV, Apple Pay, Google Pay and QR all transact on the first try.
Signal that gets guests posting
When guests can actually use their phones in-venue, they check in and tag the business in real time. Every check-in is reach the merchant never paid for.
Google Business Profile lift
Verified on-premise sessions and post-visit review prompts feed the signals Google uses to rank Map Pack position — more reviews, more photos, higher local ranking.
A reason to keep talking
Once coverage is live and it cost them nothing, the processing audit, free terminal and POS conversation happens on your terms.
How the conversation works
Lead with the signal conversation.
Instead of marketing payment processing, you open a conversation about how the business is handling connectivity — dead zones, weak cellphone signal, order pads dropping, card readers timing out mid-transaction. Then you show them what activates once the carrier-funded signal boost goes in.
The deal path
In the wild
“We picked up 40 new tags in the first week — never paid for a boost.” — Boutique owner
Agent talk track
“Your cellphone signal is handled and it cost you nothing. Now let’s talk about what that makes possible at the counter — and how your regulars start coming back more often.”
The details
What agents ask about Connected Venues.
Does the merchant pay anything?
No. Carriers fund the deployment. There is no setup cost and no monthly cost to the merchant, and no requirement to move their processing.
What does the merchant have to commit to?
A site assessment and an install window. That’s it — which is exactly why it is the easiest first yes you will get all week.
How long does activation take?
Typical timeline is about four weeks from the signal conversation to activation, with hardware and POS following immediately after.
What is my role in the deployment?
Qualify the venue, gather the site assessment inputs, and solution the deployment with our team. We handle carrier coordination and install.
Which venues are the best fit?
Restaurants, bars, cafés, boutiques, gyms, salons and any high-traffic space where guests use phones and staff run mobile devices.
Do I get paid on the activation itself?
Connected Venues is your door-opener. The economics come from the processing residual and the upsell commissions it unlocks.
