Abstract: A method and system for streamlining the customer experience at a live event or in a bar/restaurant setting thru the use of an electronic device; the process may include the use of a chip embedded in/bar code imprinted on a bracelet worn by the customer or displayed on an electronic device. When seating is limited, this check-in process will also allow the customer to reserve the next available table. The vendor can page each checked-in guest via the Bar Bandit system when their table becomes available; this will eliminate the need for a physical restaurant pager. The Bar Bandit system will allow the acceleration of any portion of the client service experience; this may include any of the following: interaction w/the ordering system, payment processing & paging the server.
