Nando’s has recently announced a significant shift in its payment policy, declaring that they will no longer accept cash at their outlets. This decision has ignited a vigorous debate among customers and online communities.
Nando’s has apparently been operating as a cashless establishment for a while now, but the announcement about their card-only policy gained attention after a diner shared a photo of a sign at one of their busy stores on Reddit recently.
Nando’s Australia isn’t completely cashless however, an online representative has said that “Our company restaurants accept card, PayPal, Apple Pay payments. Franchisee restaurants take cash, online and card payments.”
The move to a cashless system by Nando’s has garnered mixed reactions, with some applauding the convenience and efficiency it offers, while others express concerns about potential exclusion and privacy issues.
In a Reddit thread discussing conspiracy theories, one user remarked, “They say it’s for convenience, but we all know it’s about control. Cashless society means every transaction can be monitored and tracked.”
O those silly conspiracy theorists…

Another user expressed skepticism, saying, “I don’t trust it. Who knows what they’re really up to? It’s not just about payment; it’s about surveillance.”
On the other hand, some comments on the same thread expressed support for the transition to cashless transactions. One user stated, “I actually prefer it. It’s faster, and I don’t have to worry about carrying cash around. Plus, it’s more hygienic.”
Nando’s decision has undoubtedly sparked a broader conversation about the implications of a cashless society, touching on issues such as privacy, security, and financial inclusion.
As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how Nando’s and other businesses will navigate the complexities of transitioning to a cashless model while addressing the concerns of their diverse customer base.
