Steak ’n Shake is installing biometric facial recognition check-in and checkout tech across its 300 U.S. locations through a partnership with PopID, the companies said in a press release Monday.
The chain is the first to adopt this technology nationwide, the press release said.
The restaurant originally tested PopID’s technology in one kiosk in a single location and then expanded it to 25 kiosks in five locations in October, PopID CFO Sean Olson wrote in an email to Restaurant Dive. PopID began rolling out the technology across Steak ’n Shake’s system in January and expects to complete the implementation by the end of April.
