Pay for dinner with your phone

Kakoli Chakraborty
Ruplee, developed by iPay Solutions, is a new way to dine out. This app lets you dine cashless at collaborating eating joints. After you've registered or logged in via social networks, you are greeted with a list of restaurants nearby, if the location settings are switched on.

For every name, the app displays "deal" (the restaurant accepts payment via the app) or "coming soon". You can check in on the app, informing the restaurant that the payment will be through the app. After the meal is finished, one can choose the "call for bill" option.

This option processes the bill and takes you to the payment gateway where you can pay with net banking or credit/debit cards. The app uses the Paytm payment gateway. It provides a nifty feature in the form of loyalty points that offers discounts for your next transaction.
 
Small in size, it is available on Android, iOS and Windows Phone platforms.
