Globe in talks with Jollibee, McDonald’s for cashless payments

Ayala-led Globe Telecom is talking with Jollibee and McDonald’s for a partnership where using Quick Response (QR) codes would be the norm in paying for food orders. Globe president and chief executive officer Ernest Cu said nothing has been signed yet, but talks are ongoing and that they wanted to use e-payments and QR codes in “every single outlet” that Jollibee and McDonald’s has. Globe is not just only targeting large food establishments, but also other retail companies and sari-sari stores. Cu said the company is aiming to include every person in the plan.
