Restaurant merchants
to benefit by speedier payment processing and reduced costs
Atlanta, GA –
July 6, 2004 – Lynk Systems, Inc., a leading payment
processor, today announced a new strategic alliance agreement
with Abacus Business Solutions, a private company based in
Clearwater, FL. Abacus is a total solutions provider to the
hospitality industry and is the leading reseller of Radiant
Systems' Hospitality Division Aloha Point-Of-Sale (POS)
solutions.
Aloha POS software combined with Lynk’s electronic
payment processing provides exceptionally fast, easy
transaction processing, while eliminating the expense of
separate restaurant management equipment and payment
terminals. Abacus has signed on as a member of OneLynk
Alliance, a value-added reseller program of Lynk Systems, Inc.
"Abacus is excited about its new relationship with Lynk
Systems, Inc.," says Rich Peterson, president of Abacus
Business Solutions. "We believe that our alliance with Lynk,
as an OneLynk Alliance member, will enable us to add
tremendous value to the Aloha Point of Sale services we
currently provide.”
The strategic alliance allows both companies to
leverage the combined strengths of Lynk's processing services
and the Abacus customer base in the fast-growing hospitality
and entertainment markets.
"Beyond our competitive pricing, there were several key
reasons that Abacus has chosen to partner with Lynk," said
Wayne Damron, Lynk’s Senior Vice President, Indirect Sales.
"Most importantly, we invest more resources developing
compelling solutions and support for the Aloha platform.
Customers expect focus and excellence. That is what we intend
to provide, and that is what Abacus Business Solutions
represents.”
