System and method for receiving and managing remotely placed orders

This invention describes a system for ordering products or services using a mobile app on a device equipped with a scanning lens. Users select a venue and items from a menu through the app, which then sends the order to a central system. The system uses the user's location to recommend nearby venues and to ensure orders are correctly routed and released to the chosen location.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread consumer adoption of QR codes for direct ordering and menu access, the mobile device's scanning lens feature is now a common and intuitive interaction. Furthermore, advancements in cloud infrastructure and API integrations have simplified building and synchronizing multi-vendor systems with existing venue operations.
