SYDNEY, Jan. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Taptouch Software, an Australian-owned hospitality POS provider, today announced the launch of its embedded payment solution (Tap to Pay), fully integrated into its point-of-sale platform. While embedded payment technology is gaining traction globally, Taptouch is the first Australian-owned POS provider to deliver fully embedded payments designed specifically for hospitality operations.
The new embedded Tap-to-Pay capability allows cafes, restaurants, pubs, bars, and hotels to accept contactless cards and digital wallets — including Apple Pay and Google Pay — directly within the POS, without relying on separate EFTPOS terminals. By embedding payment acceptance within the POS environment, Taptouch streamlines checkout and removes handoffs between ordering screens and external payment terminals.

Built specifically for hospitality workflows, the platform embeds payments directly into multiple service scenarios, including pay-at-counter, pay-at-table, and self-service kiosk payments. Payments are handled within the same POS/Kiosk used for ordering and table management, allowing operators and staff to complete the entire service and payment flow without switching systems. For venue owners and managers, this results in simpler daily operations during busy service periods, more consistent staff execution, and easier onboarding when training new team members.
"Taptouch has consistently invested in technology designed to improve hospitality operations and elevate the customer experience," said Scott Zhang, CEO of Taptouch. "Rather than adapting generic payment solutions, embedded payments are designed natively within the POS to reflect how hospitality teams take orders, move through service, and complete payments on the floor."
The embedded payment solution is now available in Australia and New Zealand, from independent operators to multi-site groups, and is designed to scale alongside growing operational complexity and service demands.

Taptouch Introduces Australia's First Locally Built Embedded Payments POS
SYDNEY, Jan. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As the new year begins, many Australian families take the opportunity to reset routines and focus on healthier habits. From sleep schedules to study time, January often becomes a moment to reassess how children learn and grow at home.
One area that deserves more attention is eye comfort during daily learning activities. With children spending increasing amounts of time reading, writing and using digital devices, the quality of their study environment can play an important role in long-term wellbeing.
Research shows that lighting quality influences visual comfort and study focus, making it a key consideration for families setting up or refreshing learning spaces at home.
A Practical Resolution for Everyday Learning
For primary and secondary school students, homework often involves a mix of paper-based tasks and screen-based learning. Inconsistent or poorly positioned lighting can lead to unnecessary eye strain and fatigue.
Designed with children in mind, the BenQ MindDuo 2 Reading Desk Lamp supports a wide range of learning activities through balanced, glare-reducing illumination. Its ultra-wide light coverage helps ensure consistent brightness across the desk, while the concealed light source minimizes direct glare, an important feature for younger users.
As families look ahead to the year, investing in a healthier study environment can be a simple yet meaningful resolution, one that supports children's comfort, focus and long-term eye care beyond the classroom.
To help reduce discomfort and distraction, MindDuo 2 uses a concealed light source that minimizes direct glare, an important feature for younger users.
Recognizing modern learning habits, MindDuo 2 includes Dual Smart Dimming Modes:
- Paper Reading Mode (5700K) for bright, balanced illumination during reading and writing
- Screen Reading Mode (4000K) to reduce central brightness and minimize screen glare during digital tasks
BenQ is offering special pricing on MindDuo 2 desk lamp from 19th January to 1st February 2026.
