Full Society launches campaign to fund development of new application

Full Society, a technology firm, has launched a crowdfunding campaign to finance the final stages of development of its mobile payments application. The app is meant to make it easier for consumers to use their mobile devices to pay for goods and services. The Full Society platform is focused on the restaurant sector and is designed to eliminate the wait time associated with paying bills at restaurants or bars.

The platform is also designed with a philanthropic angle. Using Full Society, consumers will be able to donate to charities that have the purpose of ending hunger in various parts of the world. These donations can be given in a single transaction, in a similar fashion to how tips are given to servers. According to Full Society CEO Paige Cantlin, restaurant-goers often donate to charities around the holiday season. Full Society is meant to provide consumers with a way to make donations as often as they please when they are dining out.

Convenient services continue to lead to mobile payments growth

Convenience has made mobile payments popular. Consumers using payment platforms can avoid lines in crowded stores and quickly make payments for meals in restaurants. This convenience is something that mobile payments firms have worked to maintain and enhance. Some platforms allow consumers to submit orders to restaurants and pay for these orders before even arriving at a store. This aspect of mobile payments is growing more popular among consumers that like to visit restaurants.

Full Society wants to address the hunger problem in the United States

Full Society believes that its new mobile payments application will help solve the hunger issue in the United States. Currently nearly 46 million people in the country struggle with a lack of food, 12 million of which are children. Two charities devoted to fighting hunger have partnered with Full Society to address this issue: Helping Up mission and Paul’s Place.

Drivers in the city can use pay parking in the Green P brand lots throughout the city.

Smartphone users who live and work in Toronto have some good news headed their way as a new mobile app will soon become available that will make it more convenient for them to use the Green P outdoor parking lots that are located throughout the city.

This new smartphone application will let drivers pay for their parking when they leave their cars at those lots.

According to a report that was printed in The Toronto Star, “City-owned Toronto Parking Authority unveiled a free app and said that, by the end of spring, motorists should be able to use it to pay to park — and remotely extend their time if needed — at all outdoor Green P lots that currently use ‘pay and display’ machines.” The Green P mobile app will make it possible for drivers to be able to use their smartphones – instead of cash or plastic cards – to complete a payment transaction to keep their parking fees topped up and to avoid getting a ticket.

Moreover the mobile app also lets those motorists “feed the meter” remotely, without having to go back to the lot.

This type of mobile payments system is being implemented in a growing number of municipalities around the world, as smartphone technology makes it easier for people parking in paid spaces to be able to complete transactions over these ubiquitous devices. Everything from smartphone applications to location based tech such as iBeacons have been put into place to help locals and visitors to cities to be able to feed a meter, or even pay their parking tickets if they didn’t top things up on time.

The Green P app has been designed to send the user an alert to give them a warning that their parking privileges are about to expire, and to give them the chance to remotely add more time if they feel that they will need it. The goal is to make it much more convenient to actually pay for the parking, so that more people will pay for what they need instead of risking a ticket.

The Toronto parking mobile app will be launched at the outdoor Green P lots as of next year.
