Process Requirements
The waiting time for orders at the Hard Rock Cafe in Lyon was too long. The staff were unable to provide customer service (menu requests, ordering, re-ordering, changing orders, and paying) in a timely manner.
Objective
- Guests order and pay without interaction with service personnel
- Automatic transfer of orders in case of location change
- Ordering and payment of merchandise articles directly at the table
- Separate bills for different guests without additional time and effort
Solution
Each table was labeled with a POP (proof of presence) tag. The tag combines NFC and BLE functionality in a tamper-proof transponder.
As soon as a guest taps the POP at his table with his smartphone with the NFC/BLE interface activated, a web application opens. It is not necessary to download a designated app.
The web application is used to read the menu, place orders and pay the bill. The customer also purchases merchandise articles via the web application.
