With all of us on the go these days, it is no wonder we can even process credit cards and orders via a mobile device.
The mobile phone seems to be used for everything these days. From making phone calls to surfing the web, it does not seem there is anything the modern smartphone cannot do. Recently Revention has introduced a new mobile app which allows mobile customers to be able to make purchases directly from the restaurant they are in. The new offering creates just one more fun way which people can use their mobile phones and creates a new influx of sales which restaurants are extremely happy to see.
Revention already accounts for thousands of online orders to different restaurants and the new offering which allows for mobile ordering is just another way in which they are making it easier for customers to get the orders they want through a service they are already familiar with. It is unclear how many will take advantage of the ability to use their cell phone to purchase through restaurant POS systems. If other apps for mobile phones are any indication as to how popular it will be, the new app stands to be a huge addition to the sales for restaurants.
One of the biggest arenas for online ordering at restaurants is from pizza restaurants. These are popular options because the customer can see exactly what they are ordering and there is no confusion. Having confirmation of the order right in front of you is like being a waiter at the restaurant and placing the order yourself at the point of sale systems. The restaurant prefers the new technology to an order which is called in because there are fewer mistakes mad on orders. Additionally, they enjoy them because it means less time wasted in taking the order.
Currently the service from Revention is only being offered on the iPhone platform, but the company is already working on apps which can be used for other popular platforms like the Android and the Blackberry. As more mobile platforms get into the mix with these kinds of orders, it is likely there will be more companies which will allow individuals to make orders right from their cell phones. It serves as a reminder about the technology which is being created which will include an RFID chip in the cell phone to turn it into a highly secured credit card.
With all of the innovations with smartphones and the apps which are created for them, it is only a matter of time before the only device anyone will need is their cell phone. After all, at this point, the cell phone is able to be used in order to receive payments, purchase food and will soon be a secure credit card. Other apps help you to find your way, provide you with access to emails and the internet. Oh yeah, and they make phone calls to. Until the next innovation is created, everyone will simply enjoy the many things the modern cell phone can do like order a hot, fresh pizza.
