Epson and Spendgo combined forces to raise funds for the Restaurant Leadership Conference spotlight charity, Dine Out for No Kid Hungry. For each customer who keyed his or her phone number into the Spendgo application while ordering a drink at the JW Marriott Phoenix Starbucks, the two companies donated $1, while customers could earn a free drink. More than 2,000 transactions took place during the conference, which was held April 9-12.
Since the charity’s launch in 2008, restaurants have raised $46 million to support the cause. Dine Out for No Kid Hungry is an ongoing national fundraising campaign that brings together thousands of restaurants and millions of consumers to raise money and awareness to help end childhood hunger in America.
“No child should face hunger in our country, so we were very happy to contribute to No Kid Hungry together with Spendgo,” said Gregg Brunnick, Director of Product Management for POS printers, Epson America in a statement. “As the Spendgo platform is integrated with our OmniLink line of printers, we were able to deliver a smooth, loyalty based experience for each customer who participated and make a nice contribution to this invaluable charity.”
