Singapore Fast Food Speeds Up Another Gear
When we order a meal at a fast food restaurant, it goes without saying that we fully expect to receive our food quickly. The Burger King chain however, has taken that concept up a gear in Singapore. Across the entire island it is now possible to pay for your burger chips or meal by simply waving your EZ-link card over a scanner.
The EZ-link card is a contactless smart card which is used to pay for transportation in Singapore. It is also possible to use a number of other concession cards with Burger King’s new technology.
Think of it as similar to paying with your London Oyster card, if you will.
I have to question the implementation of this service. I mean really, how difficult is it to pay for a fast food purchase with actual money or a debit card? Well, apparently quite difficult in Singapore as contactless cards are fast become the normal way to pay for goods across the islands retail stores.
But how much quicker do people really need their fast food fix? And surely making it even easier to purchase unhealthy, fatty food will only help to encourage the worldwide obesity epidemic?
There is an additional issue of theft to consider (in and out of the BK context). A simple card swipe does not involve any confirmation that the person using the card is the actual owner of the card. With over 6 million of these cards in circulation on the island, keeping track might prove fairly difficult.
Eric Foo general manger of Burger Kind LTD in Singapore claimed that BK has always aimed to offer their customers choice and this wider method of payment is just a further extension of this aim.
I wonder how long it will take before similar payment methods are implemented within the UK? Will we be using our Oyster cards (or something similar) to pay for takeaways in Birmingham, pizza delivery Liverpool or Edinburgh food delivery?
