Shift4, the global commerce technology provider powering the experience economy, announced the launch of its third Shift4 Rescue Mission contest, partnering once again with hospitality expert and Bar Rescue star Jon Taffer. The program will award $100,000 to a community-focused restaurant or bar owner facing operational and financial challenges.
Applications open today for restaurant owners nationwide seeking support to revitalize their businesses. The selected winner will receive a $100,000 business grant, an individual business consultation with Jon Taffer, and a complete Shift4 POS System for their restaurant or bar. The $100,000 prize will be the largest yet awarded through this contest.
“Over the past two years of the Shift4 Rescue Mission, we have received an overwhelming response from restaurant and bar owners across the country,” said Taffer. “What’s clear is that small businesses are still navigating real challenges, and access to the right technology and resources can make all the difference. Through this initiative, we remain committed to empowering small business owners by equipping them with monetary resources and powerful tools to stimulate growth and strengthen operations.”
Shift4 Dine is a modern, all-in-one technology platform that allows restaurants and bars to deliver exceptional guest experiences and manage every aspect of their business. It features integrated online ordering and reservations, built-in marketing tools and loyalty program, mobile devices for tableside ordering and payment, comprehensive reporting, and more.
“We are proud to partner with Jon Taffer on our third Rescue Mission, as we continue to support small business owners who need a helping hand,” said Shift4 CEO Taylor Lauber. “Seeing the impact of our Rescue Missions on the previous winners has been incredibly rewarding, and we’re excited to provide an even greater impact this year with our largest prize yet. We’re especially focused this year on businesses who have had a positive impact in their own communities. In addition to funding and expert advice from Jon, the winner will receive a Shift4 POS System, which delivers considerable benefits for operators of all sizes to help grow their business.”
