I pay cash at restaurants and many other people still use cash over credit cards. How would you integrate these patrons? Could I still leave my cash on the table and leave? What about people without smart phones (of whom there are still quite a few)? What happens if someone’s phone runs out of charge while at dinner? What happens when grandparent wants to take grandkid out for lunch and realizes s/he needs to download an app in order to pay? On a smartphone that s/he may not have? Or with a very limited data plan that won’t allow them to download the app at the restaurant?

I agree there is always room for improvement, but the system now isn’t so broken that it needs a technology driven “disruption” that you are describing.

I would personally not be interested in downloading yet another payment app with questionable security practices.
