“…Facebook's decision not to pursue the business may mean the company thinks the approach lacks merit.”

Understatement - "Facebook is doing some major re-thinking around local”

Facebook adapts to shifting role of Location
Before: You could only "check in" to locations using the Places feature on a smart phone.

Going Forward: Now you can add location to anything.
https://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=10150251867797131
“people will move away from thinking of location in terms of “checking in” and instead think about it in terms of tagging your location to what ever it is you’re doing — sharing a thought, posting a picture, etc”
“Facebook is not ducking out of the location game itself. In fact, you could say that they’re doubling-down on it. But they are moving away from the game that the “check-in” services have been playing.

What:
An innovative fast casual restaurant business created by Flip Video founder and entrepreneur Jonathan Kaplan.
“customers can create an order for their grilled cheese from their computers or mobile phones and receive a QR code that they then bring to a Melt location and scan at the counter”
Order Technology:
THE MELT uses mobile technology that allows customers to remotely place a meal order from their computer or mobile phone and pick it up at any MELT location, always hot and ready, anytime. When ordered via the mobile application, the customer will receive a QR code on their smartphone that can be scanned at any restaurant location, allowing them to pay through their phones, skip the line, and pick up their freshly made order within minutes.
