McDonaldÂ’s picks new payments software

Burger giant McDonaldÂ’s has selected new payments software to handle increasing demand for cashless transactions

The company’s customer can now pay for their fast food favourites in a variety of ways that are convenient to them via the McDonald’s Click and Collect app, through in-restaurant self-service order screens or when using a Drive Thru.
Ingenico Group have provided McDonald’s Next Generation Cashless Solution working closely with the restaurant chain and its franchisees, who make up over 80% of the estate, to deliver the technology to cope with the forecasted growth of cashless payments, as well as new payment technologies such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Critical component
The solution has been successfully deployed to all McDonald’s restaurants across the UK and Ireland.
Jon Braithwaite, director of IT, McDonald’s Restaurants said: “We believe that this payment solution is one of the most advanced in the retail sector and is a critical component to delivering excellent experience for our customers. Leveraging Ingenico’s experience of implementing complex payment programmes, our teams have been able to deliver the new service ahead of schedule, on budget and with the outstanding performance level we expected.”
