Just when you thought it was safe to go into the water...

QuikOrder, Inc. announced on May 19, 2007 that the company has been awarded U.S. patent no. 7,197,478 for a rapid entry system for the placement of product and service orders via the internet. The announcement was made at the 2007 National Restaurant Association show held in McCormick Place (Chicago) in May. In contrast to the one-click checkout technology offered at Amazon.com, the new patented technology called FAVORDER is the first truly one-click solution for ordering products and services at websites and via cellphones and PDAs.
