MasterCard’s digital payments platform
redefines the meaning of “quick service restaurants” by making
online and in-app payments faster and more convenient with
one-click
Consumers who want to purchase and pick up their food quickly
and easily will soon be able to do so at more of their favorite
restaurants. Later this summer, the BURGER KING® brand will expand
its use of MasterPass to its BURGER KING® app which offers
exclusive deals and allows users to locate the nearest BURGER KING®
restaurant, explore the BURGER KING® menu, and pay directly with
their phone. BKDelivers.com was one of the first original merchants
to use the digital payments platform when it launched in 2013.
Starting this fall, Firehouse Subs will begin accepting MasterPass
for faster, easier and more convenient online ordering from
FirehouseSubs.com.
MasterPass enables consumers to pay for the things they want
with the security they demand, online or in app, using any device.
Now accepted in 23 countries, the
platform securely stores payment and shipping information, which is
readily accessible when a consumer checks out using the, “Buy with
MasterPass” button and logs into their account.
“Quick service restaurants are focused on providing quality food
as conveniently as possible,” said Michael Cyr, group executive,
U.S. Market Development, MasterCard. “With MasterPass, consumers
can go online, place their order and pay with just one click—the
hassle of entering delivery and billing information is eliminated,
meaning less time they’ll be waiting for their meal.”
"Firehouse Subs is excited to harness this new mobile payment
technology on FirehouseSubs.com,” said Vince Burchianti, Chief
Financial Officer, Firehouse of America, LLC. “Innovation and
exceptional customer service are two core values that MasterPass
and Firehouse Subs share, and by moving in this direction,
Firehouse Subs is able to simplify the checkout process and provide
our guests a simple, convenient and secure way to place online
orders.”
U.S. consumers can set up a MasterPass account by visiting the
MasterPass website or by signing up with a participating bank such
as Citibank. MasterPass is a simple, convenient, trusted
digital platform for faster, safe shopping at thousands of online
merchants. It makes online shopping simple by storing your payment
