Please join us at C&O Cucina for pasta, salad and famous garlic knots for our quarterly, lunch-time series, Lunch & Learn where business professionals, while enjoying a delicious lunch, obtain information and tips for refining skills and acquiring new knowledge.
Sesie Bonsi the founder of Bleu will share insights on entrepreneurship, the ever changing point of sale and payments industry, as well as a checklist for business system must haves in the new mobile commerce economy.
Today, if credit card fraud occurs at your location, the credit card company usually covers it. But that changed last year. If you’re not using a compliant system today, you may be responsible for the costs incurred if a transaction is fraudulent. If you accept credit card payments in-store, you do not want to miss this presentation!
Bleu is a powerful new way for local merchants to grow sales by unlocking the data in the payments network and their point of sale software. Bleu is a turnkey solution for all hardware, software, payments, and customer service from one provider. It combines merchant payment processing and cutting edge point of sale software, delivering significantly more value through analytics, loyalty, and marketing tools for businesses.
Attendees will learn:
• The distinction between EMV and MSR or traditional cards systems
• The mandate and relevant portions specific to your business
• The consequences of non-compliance
• The options for becoming compliant and next steps to take

About C&O Restaurants
Good food is about more than just a meal. Journey back to the streets of Italy with the C&O Cucina, where food comes in gargantuan portions and community is part of the atmosphere. Our Rat Pack Martini Lounge sets us apart from our sister property, the C&O Trattoria. The bar is a great place to grab a drink and watch the game or just listen to the old crooners and enjoy classic pictures of Frank and Dean. Happy Hour is Monday-Thursday from 4:00-7:00. Monday we offer half priced bottles of wine. For Private Parties we have a beautiful outdoor covered patio area and a private banquet room upstairs. Located just east of Abbot Kinney at 3016 Washington Boulevard, we are open for lunch and dinner seven days a week. The C&O looks forward to welcoming you, and tantalizing your taste buds with our various dishes prepared to your specifications, and of course our Killer Garlic Rolls.
