EAT will roll-out contactless technology and payment across its 100 stores from mid-November.
The green light follows a London-based pilot project. Rene Batsford, head of IT at EAT, comments: "For the last 18 months we have accepted contactless payments in over 30 stores in London, and the success and feedback from our customers meant the decision to rollout contactless across our entire network, was an easy one to make. Customers across all our stores can now benefit from a fast, secure way to pay."
