Back to BlogShift4 & Oracle: Transforming Payments for Food & Beverage
In the food & beverage industry, speed and efficiency are everything. From bars and fine dining to stadiums and quick-service restaurants, guests expect fast, seamless transactions at every touchpoint. Shift4’s global payment solutions, combined with Oracle’s hospitality offerings, are designed to revolutionize F&B operations — helping businesses serve guests better, cut costs, and prepare for the future of hospitality.
Why This Partnership Matters
As an Oracle Platinum Partner, Shift4 brings world-class payment technology directly into Oracle Hospitality systems. Together, we’ve created a solution built for restaurants and entertainment venues that’s simple, powerful, and packed with benefits:
- Free EMV Devices – the latest payment terminals at no added cost.
- Waived Gateway Fees – fewer fees, simpler operations.
- Seamless Integration – payments flow directly through Oracle for less friction.
- On-Device Ordering – staff can take orders and payments right at the table, speeding up service and turning tables faster.
- QR Code Order & Pay – guests can scan, order, and pay directly from their own device, fully integrated into Oracle POS for a smooth, self-service experience.
- Next-Day PED Replacement – if your payment entry device (PED) goes down, we’ll have you back up and running by the next business day.
