Meal ordering app tracks reusable food containers using NFC

Customers ordering takeaway food from restaurants in Toronto in Canada can now collect their orders in a reusable food container embedded with an NFC tag. This helps to verify when borrowed containers are returned and from which account they were returned

The pilot service is available to customers who place an order with participating restaurants, including Mugi, The Ace and Café Tibet.

The service is currently only available for customers who collect their order in person.
