MOBILE PAYMENT TRENDS } Mobile payment in many ways is the founda<on for targeted social and local commerce
} Currently, there are 3 technology conversa<ons: o Near Field Communica<on (NFC) (e.g. Google, ISIS, etc.) o ‘Far Field’ Communica<on (e.g. Tabbedout) o Mobile POS (e.g. Square, Verifon PAYware, etc.)

SOME THINGS AREN’T ‘NEAR’ ▶ NFC is great for vending, retail, transit and, within hospitality, at drive-‐thru and counter-‐service.
▶ Not well-‐suited for the 500,000 full-‐service restaurants, hotels, bars, and casinos.
o Consumers don’t like wai<ng closeout & prefer not to hand their phone to a stranger in order to pay
o Restaurants and bars don’t want to purchase or maintain new hardware
▶ Tabbedout’s decentralized ‘Far’ model is an essenCal compliment to NFC
o Requires no hardware – integrated with the industry’s top POS vendors (Micros, Aloha, etc.) o Together it will provide consumers with a consistent mobile payment experience across
