Mobile Phone Payment at McDonalds Japan

McDonald’s has announced that they will accept mobile phone payments via Felica. That’s not only about payments: customers can also choose the desired combo, however, he or she still needs to choose the drink verbally. Right now, the system is deployed in about 175 McDonald’s restaurants in the Kyushu region. It will be expanded if this trial works as expected. Micro-payments in Japan aren’t really new, but we have yet to see it in the U.S or in most European countries.
