ONTARIO,
Calif., April 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ontario International Airport (ONT) today
announced a strategic partnership with Shift4, the leading commerce
technology provider, to implement the company's VenueNext mobile
point-of-sale solution at the airport.
The state-of-the-art service enables ONT customers to order and
pay for food, beverages and merchandise from the convenience of
their phones, allowing travelers to enjoy the growing variety of
airport dining and retail options with as much – or as little –
personal interaction as they want.
VenueNext is offered through Shift4's aviation partner Land Air
Labs, and provides a variety of consumer benefits, including:
- Mobile ordering of food, beverages and merchandise via a
web interface combined with QR codes, allowing travelers to place
an order from their phone for express pickup.
- Mobile self-checkout, similar to that being used at a
handful of arenas in the NBA and NHL. ONT will be the first airport
to pilot VenueNext's new mobile self-checkout technology, which
will allow busy travelers to quickly scan a product's UPC code, add
it to a digital shopping cart, pay, and go – all from the comfort
and safety of their personal mobile devices.
- Special promotions, offering travelers to gain access to
exclusive discounts and deals for local attractions.
"We're excited to begin this partnership, providing our
passengers with yet another innovative convenience not found at any
other Southern California
airport," said Atif Elkadi, Chief
Executive Officer for the Ontario
International Airport Authority (OIAA). "As America's
fastest-growing airport four years running, ONT is committed to
staying ahead of trends and providing customers with the best
possible experience. Through this new partnership with Shift4 and
VenueNext, we are able to deliver a more convenient and enjoyable
commerce solution for our travelers."
"Our VenueNext solution provides the ultimate mobile commerce
experience, empowering customers to quickly shop, order, and pay
using their phones," said Michael
Isaacman, Shift4's Chief Commercial Officer. "Travelers are
already using their phones as their boarding pass, which makes our
mobile-first approach for airport concessions a natural evolution
for a streamlined travel experience."
