Chick-fil-A adds NFC check-ins

Students using Chick-fil-A’s mobile ordering service at the fast-food chain’s on-campus outlets at 15 universities in the USA can now check-in to pick up their order by tapping an NFC tag installed on posters inside the restaurant.

The system has been introduced to improve pick-up efficiency and ensure that orders are put through to the kitchen display screen (KDS) at the most appropriate time as part of the company’s adoption of the Grubhub Ultimate mobile food ordering solution.
