The FINANCIAL — Consumers who want to purchase and pick up their food quickly and easily will soon be able to do so at more of their favorite restaurants. Later this summer, the BURGER KING brand will expand its use of MasterPass to its BURGER KING app which offers exclusive deals and allows users to locate the nearest BURGER KING restaurant, explore the BURGER KING menu, and pay directly with their phone.
MasterPass enables consumers to pay for the things they want with the security they demand, online or in app, using any device. Now accepted in 23 countries, the platform securely stores payment and shipping information, which is readily accessible when a consumer checks out using the, “Buy with MasterPass” button and logs into their account, according to MasterCard
“Quick service restaurants are focused on providing quality food as conveniently as possible,” said Michael Cyr, group executive, U.S. Market Development, MasterCard. “With MasterPass, consumers can go online, place their order and pay with just one click—the hassle of entering delivery and billing information is eliminated, meaning less time they’ll be waiting for their meal.”
