You Can Pay Through Facial Recognition Tech At This California Restaurant!

We've all been there where our friends ask us to spot them for food because they've forgotten both their wallets and phones.

If only there was some kind of technology that could help us with this problem and allow you to pay for your meal with the just your face.

In a pretty groundbreaking advancement, Cali Burgers announced a pilot program at their Pasadena, CA, location that lets customers pay using their face.

Rather than swiping with a credit card, all you'll have to do is stand there and smile.

Originally, CaliBurger customers were only able to face log into their loyalty accounts at the self-ordering kiosk. 

They would then have to use a credit card or their phones to complete their order before receiving food. 

Now, it appears that has become a thing of the past for anyone with a face.

CEO of Cali Group, John Miller said "The positive customer reaction to face-based loyalty login at the kiosks encouraged us to quickly deploy face based payments at the kiosks"

He continued, "To our knowledge, this is the first time in America that customers in a retail environment can pay without needing a physical or digital wallet.”

Once patrons' faces are scanned, all they'll have to do is enter their 3-digit CVV number from their credit card to finish the transaction.

How cool!

The future is now at this burger joint!
