Efficiency and quickness are two things that are valued in today’s society- at least to me. Being introduced to RFID tags has opened up a new, future, world. Although my business wouldn’t necessarily need to acquire RFID because there are only a few items that need to be scanned at one time, the introduction of the Google wallet would be of use. The Google wallet, while still extremely new has the potential to open up new barriers that we have previously had.
Customers would be able to come into my restaurant, simply take out their wallet and pay for their food. Its use of Near Field Communication (NFC) allows people to scan their wallet up to 4cm away from the scanner. This is much easier than having to take out a plastic card and swipe the card and sign. This will drastically increase efficiency especially when there are long lines. Unlike RFID, Google wallet is more secure because you need a pass-code in order to access it. This would help prevent any issues that could arise from theft.
I think that is a great idea of using Google Wallet. I would also consider using RFID or QR codes as a way to keep track of inventory, shipments, etc.
