Printer-friendly versionPDF version

LAS VEGAS (Marketwire) Wednesday, April 20, 2011 — The Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group (WPFDG) recently contracted Shift4, the world's largest independent card-present payment gateway, to assist with processing credit card transactions at seven of its locations, including the iconic Spago restaurants in Beverly Hills, Las Vegas, and Maui.

“It's wonderful to be working with an organization that shares our standard of world-class service,” said Shift4 CEO Dave Oder. “The Wolfgang Puck Group complements the exclusive resort-hotels and premier retailers we already count among our thousands of valued clients.”

Part of this commitment involves keeping customers' personal information safe. The adoption of Shift4's DOLLARS ON THE NET® affords WPFDG customers the highest level of security as their credit card numbers are now protected by Shift4's TrueTokenization®. This industry-leading technology turns customer card data into an alphanumeric value, meaningless outside of Shift4's secure, redundant, PCI-compliant data centers.

The tokens generated and stored by Shift4 keep WPFDG from having to store sensitive cardholder data, which lessens their likelihood of data breach, and simplifies their compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).

In addition to enhanced security, DOLLARS ON THE NET is providing the accounting staff at WPFDG with extensive pre- and post-settlement auditing tools, enterprise-wide reporting capabilities, and Shift4's proprietary Fraud Sentry® technology to combat internal fraud.

“We considered several options before choosing Shift4, and I must say they truly offer an excellent solution,” said Mark Werlinger, WPFDG Director of Finance and Accounting. “Our data is safer than ever before, plus we also have more time to focus on our key business needs because using Shift4 is simplifying so many of our PCI requirements.”
