PayPal is partnering with Salad Stop!, a salad restaurant chain, and Perx, a digital loyalty card firm, to allow customers to order and pay for meals from Salad Stop! in advance using the Perx app on their smartphones.

Analysts believe this program may work better for busy executives but some customers feel pre-ordering is too inconvenient.
