Whataburger restaurants now accepting MasterCard PayPass contactless payments
Whataburger restaurants will soon have the necessary equipment and technology to begin accepting MasterCard PayPass.
PayPass is a contactless payment system that allows customers to complete a transaction by tapping the enabled MasterCard or PayPass key fob on the reader. The new system removes the need for customers to hand their credit card to a cashier, creating a more secure payment option.
PayPass terminals will help Whataburger decrease the time a customer spends in the drive-thru line. The PayPass system also does not require customers to sign a receipt for purchases under $25. Although the saved time is small, seconds add up quickly for a restaurant serving long lines of drive-thru customers.
“Busy, quick-service restaurants like Whataburger are the ideal environment for MasterCard PayPass because the benefit of faster transactions at the point of sale translates directly to busy customers who are often on the go,” said Cathleen Conforti, senior vice president of Global PayPass, MasterCard worldwide. “By accepting MasterCard PayPass, Whataburger is taking an innovative step to enhance customer service by increasing throughput at the register and in the drive-thru.”
