"From now on, restaurants that are connected to ChoiceQR will be able to use acquiring from mono when paying for delivery and takeout orders," Forbes writes, referring to the words of Choice QR co-founder Volodymyr Olyanitskyi.

The cooperation of the two services, according to the co-founder of Choice QR, will allow users not to open accounts in several banks if they already use monobank. In addition, the restaurant will be able to choose which of the two online menus, ChoiceQR or Expirenza, to use. He also added that currently more than 500 establishments use Expirenza and ChoiceQR services at the same time.

As Olyanitskyi reports, monobank coolly covers the need for a QR menu and payment, which is why Choice QR focused on delivery. He also points out that the partnership, which will allow both services to increase the number of customers, is critically important for the service. Since the beginning of the year, ChoiceQR has lost about 500 establishments, more than half of them due to closures.
