Abstract
A first identifier associated with a brick-and-mortar store of a merchant and a second identifier associated with a designated physical area within the brick-and-mortar store can be accessed to generate a third identifier that is an identification code scannable by a computing device of a customer. The identification code can be received from the computing device of the customer and a menu of items associated with the merchant can be caused to be presented via the computing device of the customer. An indication of an order for an item of the menu of items associated with the third identifier is received from the computing device of the customer. Payment data associated with a payment instrument of the customer is received from the computing device of the customer, and payment for the order of the item is processed based at least in part on the payment data.
