The first contactless electronic point of sale platform has been installed at EAT’s Moorgate branch in the City and the technology will be rolled out to a further 24 London-based stores over the next few weeks.

“Our customers can now benefit from a faster and more efficient way of paying and we are looking forward to further implementing this innovative payment solution,” said EAT’s finance director Guy Harvey.

The system was introduced by payment processing supplier Commidea and Barclaycard Business is the merchant provider.
