NFC tags on tables: faster than QR Code?

Technology 4 min read 17 octobre 2025

NFC (Near Field Communication) is the technology for contactless payment. You can put chips under tables or in wallets.

Advantage: Ultra fast, magical effect. Works even in the dark (night bar) where the QR code is unreadable.

Drawback: Requires a compatible phone (all modern ones are) and NFC enabled. The QR code remains the mandatory backup.

Cost: An NFC chip costs a few cents.
