Fast-food chains embrace digital payments, leaving cash behind

Taco Bell's parent company, Yum Brands, is reportedly planning to transition to 100% digital transactions, eliminating cash payments. The change would involve more customers using the restaurant's website, mobile app, or kiosks to place orders. Yum Brands, which also owns Pizza Hut and KFC, revealed the plans during an earnings call, citing a significant increase in digital sales and the implementation of kiosks in all stores. No specific timeline for the transition was provided.
