KFC officially launches Apple Pay at US restaurants $YUM $AAPL
A step in the right direction for Cashless Consumption, and we have to wonder if KFC is a test bed for other Yum Brands (YUM) chains such as Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. One more step toward the Cashless Consumption tipping point that is being spurred on by our Fattening of the Population investing theme.
The option is now available at “some” U.S. locations, and should eventually reach all of them by the end of the summer, KFC said. Like some other restaurants, people will be able to use Apple Pay both at the counter and in drivethroughs. The rollout is part of a broader adoption of mobile payments at KFC, as the restaurant is now also accepting Android Pay and Samsung Pay.
