Courier Doorstep Meal Voucher Collection — No More POS | İletmen TekEkran
Key Takeaways
- To accept meal vouchers, restaurants used to force couriers to carry the voucher POS — loss, breakage, and fees added up.
- With Paketimvar, couriers now accept MetropolCard, Multinet, Edenred and iWallet on their phone.
- Restaurant POS stays on the counter; table collection happens in parallel.
- This capability exists only in İletmen among Turkish courier software providers.
- Easier access to the corporate customer segment; strong sales angle for dealer acquisition.
Why meal vouchers matter
Near office districts and corporate workplaces, meal voucher payments are a big share. Corporate employees use MetropolCard, Multinet, Edenred and iWallet. This segment is:
- Loyal — reorders from the same restaurant repeatedly
- High-basket — generous lunch budgets
- Predictably recurring — steady weekday behavior
A restaurant that can't capture this segment is leaving a meaningful chunk of the market on the table.
The traditional problem: Two POS devices
Normally, accepting meal vouchers needs a separate POS. One for credit card, another for vouchers. Each with its own 100-200 TL monthly fee.
When the order goes out and the customer wants to pay with a voucher:
- Courier carries the voucher POS
- Restaurant can't take voucher payments at the table during that time
- Bumping around in the bag can break it
- Courier might forget to bring it back
Result: double POS cost, loss risk, disruption to table service.
Collection via phone
Paketimvar solves this. Order lands in the app when the courier accepts. At the door, the customer wants to pay by voucher. Courier taps the "collect" button. Card touches the phone. Payment completes in seconds.
Cards currently supported: MetropolCard, Multinet, Edenred and iWallet. More brands will be added.
Restaurant POS stays put
Because the courier uses their own phone, the restaurant POS stays on the counter. Table customers pay by voucher in parallel. No operational disruption. One POS instead of two. Even skip the restaurant POS entirely — TekEkran handles table collection on the same infrastructure.
What about security?
Bank-grade encryption throughout. Card data isn't stored on the courier's phone. Encrypted at the moment of transaction and sent to the infrastructure. Customer risk is identical to a traditional POS.
We use a BDDK-approved infrastructure. All transactions logged. Daily reconciliation reports automatic.
Reconciliation made easy
Matching voucher firms' statements to your records used to take hours in Excel. Now your panel has an auto-reconciliation report: which courier, which card, which merchant, how much — one table.
Invoice generation is automatic too. Commission reports for voucher firms come out with one click.
Sales angle for courier companies
As a courier company, restaurants will ask why they should pick you. Competitors carry the restaurant's POS; you collect on the phone. "Your restaurant POS stays on the counter" is a strong sales pitch.
Especially multi-location restaurants avoid buying a POS for each new location. Signing with you gets easier.
Credit cards on the same app
Paketimvar isn't limited to meal vouchers. The same app does NFC credit card collection via SoftPOS. Courier supports both flows on a single phone. No second app needed.
A capability nobody else offers
We've reviewed every courier software in Turkey. None offers meal voucher doorstep collection. None offers SoftPOS at the door either. These two features are İletmen's clear gap from the pack. It's why dealers, restaurants and courier companies come to us.
Application process
Apply via Paketimvar. Our partner payment provider reviews your tax and ID info. Typical approval: 2-5 business days. After approval, all couriers start collecting; no extra setup.
Conclusion
Courier doorstep meal voucher collection solves two problems at once: freedom from restaurant POS, and strong access to the corporate customer segment. This competitor-free feature raises your courier company's value to restaurants. A single application starts it; within days your couriers hold a complete collection infrastructure.
