More restaurants are going completely cashless in favor of payment by credit card, app, Apple Wallet and other means. Operators either in the process of going cashless or fully there include Sweetgreen, with locations around the U.S., Vita Mojo, in London, and Commerce, in New York, which has been cashless since 2009. While there are potential benefits — quicker throughput, reduced vulnerability to theft and the ability to collect customer data — there are downsides. Operators must pay fees associated with credit card payments; some younger customers may not have a credit card; and tips, which are generally given in cash, may be skewed. Cash won’t go away anytime soon, but neither will the trend toward cashless payments.
