PURCHASE, N.Y.—Mastercard has unveiled two solutions it said are designed to help retailers digitize and simplify operations during the coronavirus pandemic.
The first solution, Shop Anywhere, allows consumers to shop and pay without waits or checkout lines, creating an experience similar to autonomous checkout, according to the company. Mastercard is partnering with Circle K, Delaware North, and one Dunkin' location to test the technology beginning in this month, Business Insider said.
The second solution, AI Powered Drive Through, enables restaurants to offer customers personalized or dynamic menus on their mobile devices, based on store preferences, historical ordering trends, or other inputs. It can eliminate employee-led ordering and speed up wait times, and will be piloted at White Castle and other undisclosed quick-service chains this fall, Business Insider said.
