Mastercard’s payment platform, integrated with this new app, simplifies and gets smarter one of the most important moments of consumers from all over the world: the coffee break.
Amsterdam, June 6, 2018 – At Money 20/20, Mastercard and EVOCA Group, a world-leading manufacturer of professional coffee machines, launched Breasy a new payment app which allows to buy coffee with smartphones.
Thanks to Breasy and through a Bluetooth connection, customers can link their devices to a vending machine, equipped with the innovative cashless payment system Hi!. By choosing the products at their disposal with this new app, consumers have the chance to live a completely innovative and digital shopping experience. The payment is done by Breasy app, a brand-new app by Newis, available for Android and iOS platform. Using Breasy, customers can pay via smartphones through safe technology, granted by the online payment platform Masterpass by Mastercard.
Through this unique app, that vending industry operators may tailor with their colors and logos, Evoca transforms the way purchases are carried out by vending machines. This is possible, because products’ choice takes place directly from smartphone, without touching the machine. Furthermore, Breasy saves purchase preferences and manages queues in a very smart way: the app points out to the consumers the number of people in a queue, and as the customers turn comes, it automatically connects them to the authorized vending machine. Breasy allows to easily and safely buy at vending machine, by using one of the cards already registered through the Mastercard technology, which drove for years the digital payment innovation worldwide.

Obviously, this is possible, by providing tailored service to customers and more innovative answers in a very changing market”, affirmed Andrea Zocchi, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Evoca Group.
In Italy, Mastercard worked together with different retail food companies such as Auchan, Eataly, Roadhouse Grill and Rossopomodoro, developing technologies and solutions in support to customers.
