Filed in archive Companies on June 27, 2007

Buying chicken nuggets at McDonalds was never so easy. This cashless payment system clicked at the McDonalds Restaurants in US and buoyed by its success it will find a place in the Canadian arm of this popular fast food joint. MasterCard PayPass reader and chip card readers will adore its fourteen hundred restaurants across Canaada. It is expected to emerge as an alternative to cards using magnetic stripes since it offers more convenience and is quick to operate. These tap and go devices comprise of a computer chip and radio frequency antennae embedded in plastic card or key fob.

Customers will have two options - either to swipe their chip cards or just tap and go. Who doesn't crave for convenience? I will obviously choose the latter and you?
