How Does Paytm Contactless Ordering Works

Paytm came up with the idea in the month of April in which they introduced 'contactless in-store ordering'. They said that the idea of Paytm contactless ordering will help in promoting the process of minimum physical contact.

Paytm earlier in a statement said that they have developed an online menu system where a QR code will be given to the restaurants and the users can scan the QR code which will help them getting the menu on their mobile phones and can place the order without having a contact.

People can also order their food by not even being present and can go inside and take away their order which will also help in creating a hassle free ordering and no physical contact too.

Now, with getting a big partner like Starbucks, customers do not need to have any contact and they can have their food while just scanning up the QR code placed on the table of the Starbucks outlet and can go through the menu with the help of the Paytm Application and can pay online through various online options like Paytm Wallet, UPI, cards or net-banking without having any physical contact.

Starbucks being a good brand name can also grow up their business by gaining the trust of their customers with the help of Paytm contactless ordering. TATA being a 50 percent partner of the starbucks always aims how it can help create a better ecosystem for the customers. With new norms it can help them gain public trust and provide them with better solutions

A person have given an anonymous statement saying, “Starbucks has usually been shy in partnering with digital payment firms, and this partnership will help Paytm quickly scale up its contactless-dining solution, as it looks to compete against a similar solution from Zomato,".

The post covid phase will come with new challenges with each and every passing days, the food business is facing a lot of backlash with this different kind of world. It is a tough road for all the food giants. But coming up with these new steps are a hope of getting better and provide better to their customers. Gaining the trust of the customers and trying to develop a good relationship again and ensuring them safety is what all the food giants are focusing on.
