NEW DELHI: Digital payments major Paytm on Saturday said it has approached 10 state governments to promote contactless food ordering and payments, and to make these a part of the standard operating procedures for re-opening dine-in restaurants and takeaway joints.
In April, Paytm had said it has developed a ‘contactless in-store ordering’ solution – ‘Scan to Order’ – to help restaurants and eateries minimise physical contacts for menu, billing and cash transactions after these businesses open after the lockdown.
“With the Government further easing lockdown norms and opening malls, restaurants in non-contaminated zones, the company is having advanced discussions with multiple state governments urging them to make contactless QR-based food ordering part of the standard operating procedure for opening food establishments,” Paytm said in a statement.
It added that it has reached out to 10 state governments and plans to approach all states over the next few days. (AGENCIES)
