TGI Fridays becomes first UK bar to implement Bar Tab from Mastercard and Oracle

By TechTaffy Desk

TGI Fridays, Oracle and Mastercard have launched Bar Tab at the restaurant chain’s Leicester Square location. Bar Tab is a function within Mastercard’s Qkr! payment app, that allows consumers to set up, manage and pay bar tabs using their smartphones. The application will be integrated into Oracle Hospitality’s restaurant management platform and Masterpass, the digital payment service, say the companies.

TGI Fridays plans to deploy the app to 80 additional locations in the UK by the end of 2017.
