Restaurant industry: Mobile payment technology critical
The National Restaurant Association applauded Apple’s development of mobile payments technologies unveiled today as part of the new iPhone 6 and iWatch.
“We are excited to learn more about the mobile payments technologies included on Apple’s new iPhone 6 and iWatch introduced today, and the value proposition they present for restaurant operators and guests,” said Phil Kafarakis, Chief Innovation and Member Advancement Officer for the National Restaurant Association. “Mobile payments offer an efficient, convenient, less costly and more secure method of payment for both consumers and restaurateurs. With Apple’s entry into the space, the technology is now at its critical tipping point for widespread adoption.”
The National Restaurant Association is taking the lead with its annual Restaurant Innovation Summit to bring restaurant and foodservice professionals together with technology industry leaders on hospitality, customer engagement and back-of-the-house productivity strategies.
This year’s summit will be held in Atlanta on October 28-29, and features a panel on mobile payment technologies, where representatives from major mobile payment providers will discuss in depth the technology, landscape and adoption strategies.
