ROSEVILLE, Minn., Nov. 13, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Evolve Systems, a web development and merchant processing company, today announced that they have achieved a business milestone in the cutting edge world of anti-fraud technology in the hospitality industry. Evolve has successfully introduced a wireless payment solution that has proved to be the Twin Cities' first ``pay at the table'' credit card system at the newly opened Sound Bar. To date there has been a zero error success rating.

Partnering with Sterling Payment Technologies, one of the largest providers of merchant services, the new hand held technology allows the Sound Bar's guests to maintain possession of their credit cards and process their own transactions. Credit card theft and stolen identity issues are eliminated through the customer controlled business model.

``We've had success in our night clubs in Europe for years using this technology, and are excited that we are leading the market in Minneapolis by using this customer-friendly service at Sound Bar,'' said Johann Sfaellos, owner of Sound Bar. ``Our clientele has come to expect their experience at our club to be enjoyable and memorable. Our wait staff has seen an increase in tips because of the ease and control our clients has experienced.''

Don Raleigh, President of Evolve Systems provides further insight on the innovative technology:

 * Customers maintain control of their card, allowing them to enjoy a
   significantly higher level of personal security and reduced
   potential for fraud.
 * Reduces your liability by keeping the card in the owner's possession
   at all times.
 * Restaurant and hospitality establishments can achieve up to 33%
   higher wait staff productivity, therefore increasing revenue
  through efficiency.
 * Avoids lengthy end-of-day settlements by you or your wait staff.
 * Faster, friendlier checkout increases the speed of table turnover,
   bringing more business through your doors in the same amount of
   time.
 * Reduces transaction time by allowing the customer to enter the tip
   amount in a single transaction, eliminating the need for
   pre-authorization.
 * Models with great features, including: moisture resistant sealed key
   pad, drop resistance up to 3 feet on a concrete floor, bottom
   loading printer (out of the way of spills), and a light screen that
   is easy to read even in dark environments.
