The Importance of Digital Payments in Scaling F&B Businesses

Do you own restaurants or any F&B Businesses? Well you’re in luck! Because this article is written just for you! 

The food and beverage (F&B) industry in Malaysia is evolving rapidly, with digital transformation playing a crucial role in business growth. From large restaurant chains to small cafés, cashless payments and digital payment solutions are becoming essential for streamlining operations, enhancing customer experience, and increasing revenue.

At Moby Money, we empower F&B businesses with fast, secure, and cost-effective digital payment solutions, ensuring seamless transactions for both businesses and customers. In this article, we’ll explore how digital payments can help F&B businesses scale and stay competitive in 2025 and beyond.

1. Faster Transactions & Higher Efficiency

In the fast-paced F&B sector, speed is everything. Long queues and slow payment processing can negatively impact customer experience and lead to lost sales. Digital payment solutions, such as Moby’s Payment Terminal, Smart Pay, and QR Pay, enable:

Faster checkouts with contactless payments (Visa, Mastercard, FPX, e-wallets)
Seamless POS integration for restaurants and cafés
Reduced cash handling risks, improving security and operational efficiency

By digitising transactions, F&B businesses can serve more customers efficiently, increasing revenue without compromising service quality.

2. Catering to Changing Consumer Preferences

Today’s consumers prefer cashless transactions, with a growing reliance on e-wallets, BNPL (Buy Now, Pay Later), and mobile banking. According to market trends, over 70% of Malaysians now favour digital payments over cash when dining out.

By offering multiple cashless payment methods, F&B businesses can:

📌 Attract more customers, including Gen Z and Millennials who prefer e-wallets and BNPL
📌 Reduce the friction of cash payments, making transactions seamless
📌 Increase customer retention by providing loyalty rewards through digital payments

3. Increasing Average Order Value (AOV) with BNPL

One of the biggest advantages of digital payment solutions is the ability to increase customer spending. With Moby’s BNPL (Buy Now, Pay Later) solutions, F&B businesses can allow customers to:

🔹 Split high-ticket transactions into manageable 0% interest instalments
🔹 Encourage bulk orders and higher spending per visit
🔹 Make premium dining experiences more accessible

For high-end restaurants, catering services, or F&B subscription models, offering BNPL payment options can be a game-changer in boosting revenue.

4. Better Cash Flow & Business Insights

Managing cash flow is critical for any F&B business. With Moby’s Smart Pay dashboard, business owners can:

📊 Track daily transactions in real-time
📊 Manage sales data to identify peak hours and best-selling items
📊 Receive faster settlements, reducing delays in payments

Having a centralised payment platform ensures that F&B businesses can optimise inventory management, marketing strategies, and operational costs based on real transaction insights.

5. Enhancing Customer Experience & Loyalty

A smooth and secure checkout process is crucial for customer satisfaction. With Moby’s digital payment solutions, F&B businesses can:

✔ Offer QR code payments for quick and contactless transactions
✔ Provide secure and fraud-free payment processing
✔ Integrate with loyalty programmes and promotional discounts

Businesses that prioritise digital payment convenience see higher repeat customers and better overall customer satisfaction.
