So this is ActiveX v2 then? It's not just loading a URL with plain html5 on the other end?

If anything it's most closely akin to the old Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox Sidebar efforts:

It's loading HTML (and maybe XAML, like Firefox allowed XUL) into a sidebar that may interact with the page it's pulled up alongside.

If it doesn't require restaurant pages implement something on their end - no, it's not "ActiveX v2".
