SmartRestaurant: mobile payments in context-aware environment

Mobility, context-awareness and payment combined provide a customer with a completely new setting of consuming services at any time and any place. We introduce SmartRestaurant service, which allows customers to use mobile devices for ordering and paying lunches from a nearby campus restaurant beforehand. Further, SmartRestaurant provides the restaurant with means of adjusting the sales with production capacity and prior knowledge of upcoming orders. We present a user evaluation of the system in form of a field trial in the real environment of use.
