FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Aramark Transitions to Cashless Payments at the Greater Richmond Convention Center
November 13, 2024, Richmond, VA — Aramark, the exclusive food and beverage provider at the Greater Richmond Convention Center (GRCC), will transition to a fully cashless payment system at all GRCC concessions and bar outlets starting November 18, 2024. This change reflects Aramark’s commitment to providing a streamlined and secure transaction process, making it faster and easier for guests to enjoy food and beverage services while attending events at the convention center.
With the new cashless system, Aramark will accept credit cards, debit cards, and contactless payment methods such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and other virtual Tap-to-Pay cards at GRCC outlets. Cash will no longer be accepted, and there will be no cash-to-credit conversion services available on the premises. This shift to digital payments enhances both convenience and security, reducing wait times and aligning with modern payment trends that cater to the needs of today’s event attendees.
Guests attending events at the Greater Richmond Convention Center are encouraged to plan ahead by bringing cashless forms of payment to enjoy food and beverage services without delay.
