USA Technologies to Provide Cashless Services to JuiceBot
USA
Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: USAT) ("USAT"), a payment technology
provider of cashless and mobile transactions in self-serve retail,
announced today that it is partnering with JuiceBot, a California based
technology company reimagining food and beverage distribution systems.
JuiceBot's first kiosk machine protects raw, cold pressed juice from
light and heat oxidation while eliminating pre-packaging. The company
will be leveraging USAT's secure API, Quick
Connect, to quickly and securely
process cashless transactions, track the acceptance of cash, credit or
debit cards, and mobile wallet payments, such as Apple Pay, Samsung (News - Alert) Pay,
and Android Pay in order to meet the needs of its customers.

"Our goal is to leverage technology to rethink the distribution
challenges that fresh food companies face, while expanding the reach of
juice bars and creating cash and cashier-less convenience for customers
on the go," said Kamal Mohamad, founder and CEO, JuiceBot. "USA
Technologies has one of the most advanced payment systems on the market
for vending. The company's expertise and commitment to service allows us
to focus on our core competency, increasing affordability and access to
100 percent organic foods and beverages."
JuiceBot recognized the need to go cashless in part, due to the inherent
danger of handling raw foods - employees stocking the machines with
fresh ingredients should not be handling cash. By implementing USAT's
Quick Connect, the company has been able to remedy this situation
without having to expand operations or create its own cashless payment
points. The company can now quickly connect its specialty vending
machines to the ePort Connect® service for processing, reporting,
loyalty and more.
"JuiceBot is a great addition to our growing roster of non-traditional
vending operators using USAT's QuickConnect API to bring the benefits of
automation into traditional retail spaces. We believe this tool saves
our customers time, and streamlines customerexperiences, and creates an
opportunity for resources to be better utilized for higher revenues,"
said Maeve McKenna Duska, senior vice president of sales and marketing,
USA Technologies. "JuiceBot is creating a truly holistic experience for
its juice bar partners, helping them to delight customers who are
already accustomed to such effortlessness. We believe our partnership
illustrates the benefits USAT can bring to smart machine technology like
JuiceBot and other innovative technologies out in the market."
