Systems and methods for presence detection and approaching customer identification

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium tangibly encoded with computer-executable instructions, that when executed by a first device, perform a method comprising steps of:

• receiving, by the first device, first data transmitted wirelessly from a second device to the first device, wherein the data comprises order information associated with a customer input to the second device, the order information comprising at least one item from a menu of a restaurant and identifying information related to the customer;
• monitoring, by the first device, a geographic proximity related to the restaurant, the geographic proximity defining the location of the restaurant, wherein the monitoring includes wirelessly receiving, at the first device from a third device, the identifying information related to the customer;
• detecting, by the first device, based on the monitored geographic proximity, a vehicle of the user, the detected vehicle indicating that the customer is approaching the restaurant to pick-up the at least one menu item;
• generating, by the first device, a notification that alerts staff at the restaurant of the customer's presence at the restaurant, the notification requesting the staff to collect the at least one menu item;
• and
• outputting, by the first device, the notification in relation to the restaurant location.

A first device comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• receive first data transmitted wirelessly from a second device to the first device, wherein the data comprises order information associated with a customer, the order information comprising at least one item from a menu of a restaurant and identifying information related to the customer;
• monitor a geographic proximity related to the restaurant, the geographic proximity defining the location of the restaurant, wherein the monitoring includes wirelessly receiving, at the first device from a third device, the identifying information related to the customer;
• detect, based on the monitored geographic proximity, a vehicle of the user, the detected vehicle indicating that the customer is approaching the restaurant to pick-up the at least one menu item;
• generate a notification that alerts staff at the restaurant of the customer's presence at the restaurant, the notification requesting the staff to collect the at least one menu item;
• and
• output the notification in relation to the restaurant location.
