Square, the renowned financial services and mobile payment company, has unveiled Tap to Pay on iPhone in Canada, marking a significant advancement in contactless payment technology. Available within the Square Point of Sale, Square for Retail, and Square Appointments iOS apps, this feature allows sellers to process payments directly from their iPhones, eliminating the need for additional payment hardware.
Tap to Pay on iPhone simplifies the transaction process for both new and established businesses. By utilizing Apple’s secure payment technology, which ensures that no card numbers are stored on the device or Apple servers, Square offers a reliable and secure solution for business transactions. This functionality is particularly beneficial for mobile professionals such as tradespeople and caterers, as well as retailers and beauty professionals, enabling them to accept payments efficiently at any location.
The integration of Apple's contactless payment technology with Square’s user-friendly software provides a seamless checkout experience. Customers can complete their purchases swiftly by using contactless credit or debit cards, Apple Pay, or other digital wallets. This method not only enhances the customer experience but also aligns with the increasing consumer preference for contactless payments.
Since its initial launch in the US in late 2022, followed by expansions to Australia and the United Kingdom, Tap to Pay on iPhone has become an integral component of Square’s ecosystem. It offers a versatile and adaptable payment solution suitable for various business environments.
Saumil Mehta, Head of Product at Square, emphasized the benefits of this innovation, stating, "With Tap to Pay on iPhone, we are further levelling the playing field for businesses of all sizes to be able to start, run, and grow. It helps reduce some of the barriers to entry for new businesses and enables existing sellers to create new ways to sell with nothing more than their iPhone and Square’s software."
Canadian entrepreneurs can start using Tap to Pay on iPhone today by downloading the Square POS, Square for Retail, or Square Appointments app from the Apple App Store. This feature is compatible with iPhone XS models or later running the latest version of iOS. For more information, visit Square's official Tap to Pay page.

Taking a major leap toward smarter hospitality, Hotelogix, a global leader in cloud-based hospitality technology, has announced the integration of advanced AI features into its trusted Hotel Property Management System (Hotel PMS). This move is set to empower hotels across the world with automation, real-time intelligence, and sharper decision-making, enabling them to deliver more efficient operations and elevated guest experiences.
With AI now woven into the fabric of its platform, Hotelogix is helping properties unlock value across every touchpoint of hotel management. From optimizing metasearch bids and web content for better conversions, to enabling smart inventory tracking, demand forecasting, and resource optimization in F&B operations — the platform is designed for operational excellence.
For revenue management, hotels can now use AI to analyze booking patterns, competitor rates, and market shifts to dynamically adjust pricing — leading to better occupancy and profitability. Reputation management also gets a boost, with AI-driven tools helping hotels analyze guest reviews, understand sentiment, and respond promptly and meaningfully across online platforms.
Marketing and guest engagement go a step further, with tools for personalized upselling, automated WhatsApp campaigns, multilingual websites, and dynamic room upgrades — all driven by intelligent algorithms and data.
Speaking on the innovation, Aditya Sanghi, CEO of Hotelogix, said,
“Imagine a small hotel with a multilingual AI concierge offering 24/7 support and personalized recommendations in the guest's native language. It’s not just about convenience — it’s a smarter, more efficient way to deliver exceptional hospitality.”
According to industry projections, AI adoption in hospitality is set to grow 60% annually through 2033, and Hotelogix is positioning itself as a key enabler of that change — especially for mid-sized and independent hotels looking to compete with larger brands using agile, precise, and scalable technology.
With a presence in 100+ countries and the trust of over 12,000 hotels, Hotelogix is already known for helping hotels transition to the cloud. Now, it’s taking that expertise further.
“We’re working on integrating PMS data-driven agentic AI next,” Aditya added. “This will allow hotels to scale with intelligence, boost yield, and deliver hyper-personalized guest experiences.”
From distribution and revenue to guest services and marketing, Hotelogix’s AI-backed solutions mark a major shift in how hotels will operate in the coming decade — with intelligence at their core.

OYO, the global hospitality technology brand, has officially stepped into the food and beverage sector with the launch of in-house kitchens and quick service restaurant (QSR) carts across its company-serviced hotels in India. This move is part of a broader plan to enhance the guest experience, particularly at Townhouse by OYO-branded properties.
The initiative began with a pilot program in January 2025 across 100 hotels in cities like Delhi, Gurugram, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru. Encouraged by its success, OYO now plans to expand the offering to 1500 company-serviced hotels across India in FY26.
Guests can now conveniently order meals through online platforms, including OTAs and the OYO app, by selecting the "Kitchen Services" option. The kitchens will range from full-scale commercial setups offering extensive menus to simpler pantries based on each hotel’s profile and infrastructure.
To meet varied dining needs, OYO is also introducing QSR carts and lobby stores under the brand name ‘Townhouse Cafe’. These will offer quick, ready-to-eat food options designed to cater to snacking, late-night cravings, and meals on the go—without the wait associated with traditional restaurants. The menu will include well-priced meals with both regional and continental options.
The decision to enter the F&B segment came in response to consistent guest feedback requesting more in-room dining options. The company expects this initiative to boost customer satisfaction and generate an additional 5-10% in hotel-level revenue once fully stabilized.
“This initiative aims to enhance the in-hotel dining experience for guests by offering fresh, convenient, and quality meal options across our network,” said Varun Jain, Chief Operating Officer at OYO. To support this rollout, OYO is also developing a network of trusted F&B experts in major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Indore, Kolkata, Jaipur, and Lucknow.
