Abstract

The present disclosure includes a system, method, and article of manufacture for delivering tailored menu content. The system may compare menu content to a preference included in a consumer profile, determine that the menu content substantially matches the preference, identify tailored menu content based on the comparing, and/or deliver the tailored menu content to a consumer associated with the consumer profile. Where tailored menu content is delivered to a consumer, it may be delivered to a web client associated with the consumer and displayed by the web client as part of a customized menu. The system may receive a request for tailored menu content in response to a proximity of a web client associated with the consumer to a near field communications device associated with a restaurant, and/or the system may perform the comparing in response to a physical proximity of the consumer to a restaurant.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a computer-based system for delivering tailored menu content, a permission designating a data partner as a privileged data partner, wherein privileged data partner is made eligible, through the permission to receive a consumer profile;

comparing, by the computer-based system, menu content to a preference included in the consumer profile; and

identifying, by the computer-based system, tailored menu content based on the comparing.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising delivering, by the computer-based system, the tailored menu content to a consumer associated with the consumer profile.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining, by the computer-based system, that the menu content substantially matches the preference included in the consumer profile.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving, by the computer-based system, a request for tailored menu content in response to a proximity of a web client associated with a consumer to a near field communications device associated with a restaurant.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising aggregating, by the computer-based system, the consumer profile based on at least one of:

direct data and indirect data.

6. The method of claim 1, delivering, by the computer-based system, the tailored menu content to a web client associated with a consumer, wherein the web client displays the tailored menu content as part of a customized menu.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising performing the comparing, by the computer-based system, in response to a physical proximity of a consumer associated with the consumer profile to a restaurant.

8. A system comprising:

a processor for delivering tailored menu content;

a tangible, non-transitory memory communicating with the processor;

the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising;

receiving, by the processor, a permission designating a data partner as a privileged data partner, wherein the privileged data partner is made eligible, through the permission, to receive a consumer profile;

comparing, by the processor, menu content to a preference included in the consumer profile; and

identifying, by the processor, tailored menu content based on the comparing.

9. The system of claim 8, further comprising delivering, by the processor, the tailored menu content to a consumer associated with the consumer profile.

10. The system of claim 8, further comprising determining, by the processor, that the menu content substantially matches the preference included in the consumer profile.

11. The system of claim 8, further comprising receiving, by the processor, a request for tailored menu content in response to a proximity of a web client associated with a consumer to a near field communications device associated with a restaurant.

12. The system of claim 8, further comprising aggregating, by the processor, the consumer profile based on at least one of:

direct data and indirect data.

13. The system of claim 8, delivering, by the processor, the tailored menu content to a web client associated with a consumer, wherein the web client displays the tailored menu content as part of a customized menu.

14. The system of claim 8, further comprising performing the comparing, by the processor, in response to a physical proximity of a consumer associated with the consumer profile to a restaurant.

15. An article of manufacture including a non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a computer-based system for delivering tailored menu content, cause the computer-based system to perform operations comprising:

receiving, by the computer-based system, a permission designating a data partner as a privileged data partner, wherein the privileged data partner is made eligible, through the permission, to receive a consumer profile;

comparing, by the computer-based system, menu content to a preference included in the consumer profile; and

identifying, by the computer-based system, tailored menu content based on the comparing.

16. The article of claim 15, further comprising delivering, by the computer-based system, the tailored menu content to a consumer associated with the consumer profile.

17. The article of claim 15, further comprising determining, by the computer-based system, that the menu content substantially matches the preference included in the consumer profile.

18. The article of claim 15, further comprising receiving, by the computer-based system, a request for tailored menu content in response to a proximity of a web client associated with a consumer to a near field communications device associated with a restaurant.

19. The article of claim 15, delivering, by the computer-based system, the tailored menu content to a web client associated with a consumer, wherein the web client displays the tailored menu content as part of a customized menu.

20. The article of claim 15, further comprising performing the comparing, by the computer-based system, in response to a physical proximity of a consumer associated with the consumer profile to a restaurant.
