Satispay takes a (big) step forward through a strategic acquisition that can open important doors to the made in Italy payment system. At the heart of the project there is AdvisorEat, startup founded by Stefano Travaglia: “was the first to develop a service designed for business consultants and professionals who, through the dedicated app, select and recommend the best restaurants – from starred cuisine to gourmet street food – to revive a business trip or breakfast, allowing members to accumulate points to be converted into gift cards, vouchers or charitable donations“. 800 restaurants already affiliated, 40 provinces touched, but the feeling is that with this step Satispay can go much further.
Satispay + AdvisorEat
So Alberto Dalmasso, CEO Satispay:
The catering sector, and food in general, represent a considerable part of our 180,000 merchants and the first product category and we have always looked with interest at services related to this area. In AdvisorEat, and especially in Stefano Travaglia, the founder and CEO, we recognized strong skills, both commercial and in defining and developing services dedicated to companies, as well as a great enthusiasm and our own desire to achieve something great. His experience and competence, combined with our important numbers in the Ho.re.ca sector, have made us imagine the concrete possibility of creating something of value in the world of corporate welfare, in the name of simplification, user experience and sustainability. and convenience for merchants. We will bring to the market solutions capable of responding more and more to the evolution of company policies regarding the care of their collaborators also in light of the new working methods and the clear trend that, even following the pandemic crisis, sees about half of the companies increase its commitment in this direction. We have a lot of ideas and thanks to this operation we will be able to start with the first services from the beginning of next year.
Just the world of corporate welfare can become the key to the turning point, because Satispay has, for example, the possibility of establishing itself in a market that is in many ways as old as that of food stamps, where innovation has the possibility to make a difference and act as a picklock to radically shift the current equilibrium. If there was a chance to checkmate with two simple moves, the first was done.
So Stefano Travaglia, founder e CEO AdvisorEat:
This operation represents a great turning point for our team. As an entrepreneur, I immediately saw the opportunity to become part of an even bigger project where, by pooling our strengths and skills, ours will be able to find space and acceleration to grow as perhaps never before we had thought, representing the at the same time the basis for the development of a completely new business line in Satispay. We are delighted with this mutual opportunity that we can give each other and are already working to transfer the benefits to the market as soon as possible.
All-in on welfare now. Where this area can become central to reward and remuneration policies, Satispay can become the fundamental tool to achieve the goal with the lowest possible costs and with the greatest possible ease. Few (none?) Others have the same potential available.
