Bluefin and Volanté Systems Expand Partnership to Advance Secure Enterprise Foodservice Payments

Volanté enhances its enterprise foodservice platform with Bluefin’s PCI-validated P2PE and expanded certified device options

March 10, 2026 – Atlanta, GA – Bluefin, the global leader in payment and data security infrastructure and PCI-validated point-to-point encryption (P2PE), today announced an expansion of its longstanding partnership with Volanté Systems, a leading provider of enterprise foodservice point-of-sale (POS) solutions. Building on a collaboration that began in 2021, Volanté now offers an expanded set of PCI-validated P2PE capabilities powered by Bluefin, including support for the PAX A35 payment device.

Through the Volanté platform, Bluefin’s PCI-validated P2PE encrypts cardholder data at the point of interaction, rendering sensitive payment information unreadable throughout the transaction lifecycle. This approach allows enterprise organizations to maintain their existing foodservice software relationships while significantly reducing PCI scope and exposure to card data.

Volanté’s enterprise platform is purpose-built for large, complex foodservice environments, enabling centralized management across hundreds of locations, configurable workflows, and real-time operational insight. As part of the expanded partnership, Volanté has added support for the PAX A35, a next-generation Android payment device that broadens its portfolio of P2PE-certified hardware options. Designed for modern foodservice use cases such as countertop and self-service, the A35 supports EMV, NFC, magstripe, and QR code payments, helping operators deliver faster, more flexible checkout experiences without compromising security.

“Enterprise foodservice organizations need payment security that scales with their operations,” said Terry Ford, SVP of Partnerships at Bluefin. “By expanding our partnership with Volanté, we’re enabling large institutions to adopt PCI-validated P2PE through a platform they already trust, while supporting the modern devices and workflows today’s dining environments demand.”

“We’re excited to expand our partnership with Bluefin and broaden the PCI-validated P2PE options available through the Volanté platform,” said Sunil Selby, CEO, Volanté Systems. “By combining Bluefin’s proven security with Volanté’s enterprise foodservice capabilities, we’re helping our clients protect payment data while maintaining the flexibility, scalability, and efficiency required in complex operating environments.”
