This seems like something everybody wants but I’m surprised it hasn’t happened yet. What are some of the (assumingly non-technical) challenges in such an enterprise?

The biggest problem I'm facing right now is credit card processing costs. The restaurant business is a high revenue, low margin industry. The fees are higher for online transactions (no card present) vs. in person transactions (card present), on the order of 1-2%. I think this is the biggest reason it hasn't happened yet. However, I have a workaround which I think will work.

  Oh no. Not another crypto currency or other virtual currency I hope.

  Shouldn't an in-restaurant ordering solution be processing card-present transactions as opposed to card-not-present?

    I was wondering that. Why would you to to a restaurant without an ability to pay?

  If they're in the restaurant, why isn't the card present?
