Sandwich chain Eat, one of the first merchants to roll out contactless payment in the United Kingdom, plans to introduce a contactless loyalty scheme using passive stickers.
The chain, which has more than 100 UK locations, would use a contactless loyalty and likely also a closed-loop payment system of Zapa Technology. Zapa now mainly serves its home base of Ireland. Eat is to launch an eight-week trial in early May at its new store in Liverpool. Plans call for then rolling out the contactless loyalty system throughout the chain, assuming the trial goes well.
Update: Zapa, however, in late October reportedly appointed a provisional liquidator to help it pay off its debts. End update.
