Fast food giant McDonald's is testing a new mobile payments service with PayPal that lets consumers order their favourite meals at participating stores in France.

However, McDonald's customers in Paris can now pay for a Royale with Cheese using their smartphones or tablet a concept that could spread to the company's 33,500 locations worldwide if the fast-food likes the results.

“Customers at 30 locations in France are now able to order their meals using the McDonald's mobile app, pay for it via PayPal, then join a separate line to pick up their food, according to CNN International.

CNN said that the trial according to McDonald is part of a rapidly growing consumer-service trend of skipping cash, and even credit cards, in favor of a quick tap from a mobile phone.

Major retailers from Target to Best Buy to 7-Eleven have teamed up to create the Merchant Customer Exchange.
