Hospitality & Food Services

Digital payments for hospitality and food services.

Online ordering, reservations and pre-paid services need payments that are quick for guests and dependable for staff. Rainbow Pay supports the online side of hospitality with one integration.

What the business needs from payments

Quick payment for guests

Wallets and saved cards on mobile shorten the time to pay.

Pre-payments and deposits

Take payment ahead of a booking or order, with the option to confirm later.

Changes and cancellations

Refund all or part of a payment when plans change.

Status your staff can trust

Kitchen or front-of-house systems act on confirmed payment status.

Payment scenario

Example: a pre-paid catering order

A fictional catering company takes online orders for corporate events.

  1. 1

    A client places an order and pays online; the payment is created with needConfirmation.

  2. 2

    The catering team checks availability for the event date.

  3. 3

    If the date is available, the team confirms the payment; otherwise it declines it and the client is informed.

  4. 4

    A later change to the order is handled with a partial refund.

This is a hypothetical example to illustrate a payment flow. It does not describe a Rainbow Pay customer.
