Wendy’s said customers can download the My Wendy’s mobile app– available on Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Android devices – and load money onto it. When they visit a restaurant, they give a six-digit code to the cashier and the purchase amount is deducted from their balance. The national roll-out follows a year of testing.

How do you use mobile pay at Wendy's?

To pay with the Wendy’s app, customers tap the app to pull up a six-digit number they tell the cashier, rather than holding up their device to a scanner. Burger King also said its app will give customers a four-digit number they tell cashiers to make a payment.

Is the Wendy's app worth it?

The Wendy’s app didn’t really feel like an app to me, but I liked it just the same (perhaps more, because, like a webpage, it was easy to navigate). I really loved how an item’s picture, description, ordering information, customization, and nutrition information was all in one easy to access location.
