NFC technology provides contactless ordering function for diners
Jul 14, 2021
Previously, the catering industry was closed due to the epidemic. Now that restaurants have reopened in-house dining and takeaway services, smart phone ordering systems are now becoming more and more common. Diners now browse menus online, sometimes with the help of apps, without the need for credit cards or paper menus, which reduces people’s face-to-face interaction.

Our factory has more 10 years experience in rfid or nfc technology and now more and more worldwide customers have worked with ZhiJie products and high reputation from them . Qiiosk, a start-up company in Yorkshire, UK, provides a solution that does not require downloading an APP. Customers only need to tap a non-contact dining tool called "Menu Tile" with their smartphones, and they can sit at the table. Place an order, ask for help, or pay. Qiiosk said that the solution uses NFC and QR code technology to quickly order food without the need for APP. In order to meet the needs of restaurants to reopen, this spring has been deployed in several restaurants in the UK and has been quickly promoted.

If the customer's mobile phone does not have NFC function or prefers to scan the QR code, they can also scan the code. The solution not only provides a menu, but also calls the waiter, and can pay directly on the menu tile with the mobile phone. HID explained that with this system, restaurants can provide a safer environment for those dining on-site and restaurant employees by restricting interaction. The technology also makes the experience for employees and customers more efficient. Further benefits include access to real-time allergen information on the menu via NFC tags. In addition, the restaurant can also update the menus in the system in real time, allowing diners to browse the latest menus, so as to place orders in person, eat in, or take away.
