Starbucks has implemented a mobile payment system with Apple Pay. The iPhone’s digital wallet is already an option in restaurants like Panera Bread, and other restaurants with OpenTable. While Apple Pay will be available to all Starbucks locations already, Starbucks already has other mobile payment systems. Starbucks believes mobile payment systems will be a rising trend, and be the future of their sales. Already, 20 percent of in-store sales are made by mobile devices. Tim Cook proclaimed 2015 will be the year of Apple Pay. Starbucks already integrated a version of Apple pay that lets customers refill their “Starbucks Card” through the mobile application.
Apple pay will be further expanding its services to not only Starbucks but also is coming to KFC and Chili’s in the next year.
