Ask HN: Why doesn't Yelp do QR code payments POS systems?

3 pointsakadeb2 comments

Yelp has a large database of all restaurants and could easily make a name for itself by introducing QR code payment POS systems in restaurants. Zapper in UK and SwiftPass in APAC are trying to expand into the US with their payment systems. Would this be a good move for Yelp?

Why would I need to use this system instead of a contactless card or Apple/Google Pay?

Contactless makes more sense in the restaurant scenario, you're right. I was thinking in restaurants a QR code attached to each table could be scanned during payment and that would be quicker but it doesn't seem that much faster than contactless payment at the checkout counter
