Fast Casual: Are Wearables the Future of Dining Out?

In an article written by Bonnie Moss, president and founder of Moss Networks, for Fast Casual, Moss breaks down the big question of ‘how could wearable technology change our lives?’ to a more digestible ‘how could wearable technology effect the restaurant industry?’ Moss begins by pointing out that a lot of people didn’t expect the Apple watch to catch on, with critics arguing that the watch didn’t do much other than add to an always-on life. The watch, however, outsold the iPhone in the first year after its release.

This, says Moss, is proof that we need to take wearable technology seriously. So what does this mean for the restaurant industry? Well, it meets contactless payments via payment information being accessible from wearable technology, as well as more online ordering and an increase in the use of apps.
