SEPTEMBER 10, 2021
MIAMI, TORONTO, September 10, 2021 – XTM, Inc. (“XTM” or the “Company”) (QB: XTMIF / CSE:PAID / FSE:7XT), a Miami and Toronto-based Fintech company in the neo-banking space, providing mobile banking and payment solutions for the hospitality and personal care industries throughout North America is pleased to announce that Azhar Kitchen the newest addition to the Gusto 54 family of restaurants, has chosen XTM’s cashless Earned Gratuity Access solution for employee payouts.
Gusto 54 restaurants include: Trattoria Nervosa, Gusto 101, Gusto 501, Chubby’s, Felix, Azhar, Kiin, PAI and Gusto Green.
With many restaurants facing staffing shortages, same day payouts are an incentive to re-attract employees to the food and hospitality industry.
“A great restaurant is comprised of many moving parts,” said Janet Zuccarini, CEO and Owner of Gusto 54. “Everyone, from the chef and operators, to the front and back of the house play an essential role in creating the ultimate dining experience. This is why we make supporting our staff a priority and providing them fast access to their earned gratuities in a safe and convenient method is a way to demonstrate our commitment. Our relationship with XTM and leveraging the Tipstoday program supports our goal of operational excellence.”
“We watch the Gusto 54 restaurants and iconic restaurateur Janet Zuccarini with reverence,” said Marilyn Schaffer, CEO, XTM. “You know that every Gusto 54 restaurant you walk into will deliver a culinary and experiential event that delights. This doesn’t happen by accident and we are proud of the trust Gusto 54 places in XTM to deliver a cashless solution for their restaurants.”
