Apple Pay Launching at Chick-fil-A on August 19
Starting on August 19, Apple Pay will be available in Chick-fil-A restaurants across the United States, allowing fast food buyers to make their purchases both in-store and at the drive thru using Apple's payment service.
The news was shared by the Chick-fil-A Twitter account following an inquiry by AppleInsider writer Roger Fingas, who had heard a tip that support was already rolling out at some Chick-fil-A locations.
Chick-fil-A was first announced as an Apple Pay partner in February of 2016, and support was supposed to roll out shortly after, but it has taken several months for the restaurant to implement Apple Pay. Chick-fil-A will also be accepting Android Pay starting on August 19.
Chick-fil-a rival KFC, which also specializes in fried chicken,
began accepting Apple Pay at the beginning of June.
Apple Pay is now officially accepted by more than 100 retailers in the United States, along with all locations that allow contactless payments.
