Abstract: A method of processing orders and payments in a location-based food-service venue such as a restaurant, stadium or arena. Each customer location has a physical identity target attached in proximity thereto comprising a unique system-wide identifier readable by customer mobile devices. Targets might be visually readable, using QR codes or the like, or might be a short range radio beacon broadcasting the identifier (NFC, RFID etc.)—they do not contain human-readable location indication information. The identifiers associated with the targets do not contain location- or venue-specific information, and are recorded in relation to location records corresponding to individual customer locations in the venue in a order database held on a server.

Abstract: A method of facilitating the processing of payments in a location-based sales venue such as a restaurant, comprising a plurality of customer locations for service. Each customer location has an identity target device associated therewith and attached in proximity thereto, comprising a network-connected electronic device capable of display or broadcast of a one-time identifier associated with the corresponding customer location to proximate mobile customer devices. On reading of a target by a mobile customer device and a related transmission to the server, the server can associate mobile customer device with its related customer location in the venue-associated POS system, facilitate a payment transaction for the amount owing at the selected customer location through a transaction gateway, and provide a transaction completion indication to the POS system.
