PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad and Tobago — October 15, 2026 — Powertranz and Mastercard launch Pay at the Table solution in Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados. Through this partnership, Mastercard is supporting the go-to-market rollout of a solution that helps restaurants offer secure contactless payment acceptance and a more seamless dining experience.

Designed to enhance the guest experience and support more efficient restaurant operations, Powertranz’s Pay at the Table solution connects the dining journey from ordering through checkout. The solution enables restaurants to accept secure contactless payments using compatible Android devices and also offers a QR code payment option. Together, these capabilities help restaurants reduce waiting times, improve service efficiency, and eliminate the need for additional payment hardware.

“Restaurants and hospitality businesses shouldn’t have to choose between a better customer experience and technology that works with the way they operate,” said Eldred F. Garcia, Senior Vice President of Business Development at Powertranz. “Through our partnership with Mastercard, we are helping restaurants modernize the dining experience and connect ordering and payments in a more seamless way.”

Through their partnership, Powertranz and Mastercard are supporting the hospitality industry’s shift toward more digital, efficient and customer-friendly service models, with Mastercard serving as a strategic partner in bringing the solution to market.

“Consumers increasingly expect technology to make everyday experiences simpler, and dining is no exception,” said Dalton Fowles, Country Manager for English Caribbean at Mastercard. “Through our partnership with Powertranz, we’re helping restaurants offer guests a more convenient way to order and pay, while making it easier for micro, small and medium-sized businesses to adopt digital payment acceptance and operate more efficiently.”

Powertranz is integrated with more than 20 banks and processors across 30 countries, helping restaurants connect Pay at the Table with technology already in use across the region.

Through their collaboration, Powertranz and Mastercard are helping restaurants and hospitality businesses deliver faster, more convenient and secure payment experiences. The partnership supports a key merchant segment while responding to growing demand for contactless payments and seamless customer experiences.
