Customers in UK pizza chain Pizza Express can now pay their bills with a Paypal account via an iPhone.
The chain’s new app does all the usual stuff – finds your nearest restaurant, gives you directions, shows you the menu, even lets you book a table – but adds bill payments as an extra topping.
When you get your bill, you’ll see a 12-digit number on it. Enter this into the app, then your Paypal ID and password. That’s it, you’ve paid. The neat thing about this is that it doesn’t have to be the iPhone owner who pays – anyone can grab the phone and use it as a terminal to access their Paypal account.
If you have a discount code or voucher, you can use that too. Not sure what you do about tips for the waiting staff. Probably best to stick to retro cash for that.
