SmartPhone To Speed Up Grilled Cheese Orders

A new “fast casual” restaurant has opened in San Francisco that takes advantage of smartphones to provide fast delivery of grilled cheese sandwiches. The Melt, who’s owned by Jonathan Kaplan, the man who brought us the Flip camera, has just opened. You can order your meals ahead of time on a smartphone, but they aren’t made until you arrive at the restaurant.

When you place your order on a smartphone you receive a QR code that is then scanned at any of The Melt”s four current locations in the Bay Area.
