The platform also makes it easier to bring in additional restaurants and markets. It offers preferred payment methods support. McDonald’s can also access data and customer insights in a single view.
McDonald’s Global Technology and Digital SVP Leandro Balbinot said: “With Adyen’s scalable platform, McDonald’s will be able to continue to provide customers a seamless experience through a variety of payment methods that align with the unique needs of our markets.
“We look forward to rolling out this platform in several markets internationally, beginning with the UK in early 2020.”
