Five Guys takes Apple Pay at most of its restaurant locations. Some locations do not yet accept Apple Pay because the mobile payment option requires newer technology at the register. For full details of Five Guys’ payment policy, see below.
Does Five Guys Take Apple Pay?
Five Guys accepts Apple Pay at most restaurant locations, customer service representatives said.
Apple’s official list of Apple Pay retailers doesn’t mention Five Guys as a participating merchant. However, we spoke with managers and associates at Five Guys restaurants across several states, and most said their locations accept Apple Pay.
Some Five Guys locations (including one in Myrtle Beach, S.C., and another in Austin, Texas) are currently unable to accept Apple Pay. Customer service representatives cited necessary software upgrades and broken registers as the reasons why they could not take Apple Pay.
If you want to use Apple Pay on your next Five Guys visit, call your nearest Five Guys and ask which forms of payment it accepts.
All Five Guys locations accept cash, debit cards, Five Guys gift cards, and major credit cards, including American Express and Discover.
