Qatar FECs choose Intercard cashless technology

Qatar FECs choose Intercard cashless technology
May 30, 2019

Intercard, a provider of cashless technology, has installed its latest systems at Farah's four Family Entertainment Centres (FECs) in Qatar. The installations were completed between November 2018 and April 2019 at its Fun Day venue and three Farah Park locations. 

Farah Parks are indoor theme parks that combine family edutainment with the attractions of a typical FEC. They are designed to encourage imaginative play, social and pretend play opportunities, skill development and other open-ended play opportunities.  

Farah's Fun Day is one of the first air-conditioned indoor amusement parks for children and families in Qatar, with a wide range of rides, video and redemption games, and other activities year-round. While the children play, parents can relax in a specially-designated sitting area. To complete the experience, Fun Day offers refreshments from its café. 

Farah Parks executive manager Fouad Chehade has long personal experience with Intercard and chose its technology for its stability, performance and flexibility: "The installation has been very smooth; the support from the local dealer Chimera Solutions Qatar and the Intercard team has been tremendous.They offered me the most cost-effective solution and my revenue has increased since I started implementing their solution." 

Intercard's cloud technology will also support Chehade's aggressive expansion plan for Farah: "I looked at the various options and I felt that the only brand to deliver is Intercard in terms of running multiple sites up to the hundreds. Their customised one-of-a-kind debit card systems with state-of-the-art software played a major role in my decision."
