Abstract:

A remote ordering process which allows a consumer to have stored in a handheld electronic device, all of the menu items or items for sale from a given restaurant or other retailer. Furthermore, the device and its software would have the ability to provide the consumer with a selection of the consumers frequently ordered meals or selections already stored and ready to be ordered or edited at will. This enables the consumer to select and then transmit his/her order via infrared and/or any other means directly to the restaurant or retailer's receiving computer system, thus bypassing human error and making the transaction speedier. This process is designed specifically for but not limited to a drive-through scenario. As part of this process, the consumer may also be able to pay for the transaction through the wireless transmission of the consumer's credit card and/or debit card information.
