As technology continues to advance, companies are constantly innovating new ways to make their processes more efficient and their services more convenient. Amazon recently announced plans to roll out a new palm-reading payment system in partnership with Panera Bread. This new technology eliminates the need for customers to reach for their wallets and will redefine the way people pay for their meals.
The new system uses a combination of palm-reading technology and biometrics. Customers create an account with Amazon that links their palm print with their payment and address information. When they visit a participating Panera Bread location, all they have to do is to hold their palm up to the scanner and their payment will automatically be taken care of. This new technology can also be used to make deposits, withdraw money from ATM’s, and sign into accounts.
This new system could save customers a lot of time since they no longer have to wait for the cashier to process a payment or sign for a credit card purchase. It will also be safer since it eliminates the need to hand over sensitive credit card information or cash. Customers can be assured that their data is being securely stored and that the system is compliant with the highest security standards.
The system also has potential to reduce checkout time which would be beneficial to both customers who are in hurry as well as the service staff. This type of technology has been available in some countries for several years, but it is still being tested in the US. Amazon and Panera Bread are the first companies to partner up to use the system.
With this new technology, Amazon and Panera Bread are redefining the way consumers pay for their purchases. This technology could be used at other retail stores and restaurants in the future, making payments easier and more convenient for consumers.
