Las Vegas, NV (Feb. 26, 2008) - cStar Technologies Inc.,
a leader in wireless cashless self serve solutions and
Fastcorp LLC a leading frozen vending solutions
provider, have collaborated to showcase hotel guest key
based cashless vending technology at this year's
HotelWorld Expo. cStar's cashless vending solution,
Vending Genie™ Hospitality
has been seamlessly interfaced with
Fastcorp's Z-400 Robotic Frozen Vendors to
deliver this innovative cashless vending solution
specifically for the hospitality market.
Vending purchase transactions are wirelessly approved
and posted to the guest's folio for payment at checkout
or to the guest's prepaid account. A simple swipe of the
room key card/RFID wristband is all that is needed for
guests to purchase goods throughout the property.
President and CEO of cStar Technologies, Inc., Stella
Yoon said, "We are pleased to work with Fastcorp and
bring this room key enabled cashless frozen food vending
solution to the market, as a natural extension to soda,
snack and ice cream cashless vending. Guests in hotels
and resorts no longer need cash in hand to purchase
water, sports drinks, sodas, snacks, ice cream, and now
frozen foods from vending machines ... all they need is what
they already have - room key cards/RFID wristbands.
cStar's application
eDispense™ HT, the engine behind Vending
Genie™ Hospitality, can
also deliver the same cashless payment method for all
other self service areas such as arcades, photo booths,
business centers, parking and laundry facilities."
Todd Piatnik, President of Fastcorp LLC, said "Hotel and
resort operators were the first to deploy room key
cashless ice cream vending using Fastcorp dedicated ice
cream vendors. The deployment model proved to be very
profitable. High profit margins, price points and
machine reliability resulted in an attractive ROI
proposition. Now, extended stay and budget hotels can
offer equally cost effective and profitable food service
solutions for their guests using our combo vendor, the
Food Court Express™. With a simple swipe of a room key
card or RFID wristband, guests can enjoy both food and
ice cream from a single machine any time day or night."
HotelWorld Expo visitors will be able to experience the
room key card and RFID wristband cashless vending at the
Fastcorp booth (#1445) and at the cStar Technologies
booth (#1444).
