PERX partners, (restaurant's-staff) physically pass the entire QR-code to customers for stamping during payment for meal. Dishonest-customer pretends to stamp; instead took a picture of the QR-code with the phone's-camera. During the next visit, customer returned to the same outlet, (during busy lunch hour), scanned the code in the safe GPS location (outlet location) to PERX WITHOUT purchasing anything from the restaurant. Dishonest-customer may take advantage that there would be customers whose purchase qualify for QR code stamp but does not want to participate with PERX . Thus the Point-of-Sale (POS) system would have a list of transactions that qualifies for the PERX stamp, which are more than the actual stamps the PERX system registers. Does the restaurant's POS system sync with PERX app and tally with each transaction that meets the criteria accordingly? If no, there is a security loophole. Feedback to PERX and received an angry reply from PERX co-founder. Not appreciating that i had highlighted this particular security flaw; he reassured that there are security measures in place and the system could not be abused. A vague answer to cover ones position as per anyone in the same position? A year later, noticed the restaurant staff TAKES the phone FROM customers to scan the QR-code to prevent abuse. If the security measure promised by PERX co-founder is flawless, why do the restaurant staff need to take such physical measure in point 7. Wouldn't that inconvenience the staff and customers (removes fun factor)? Additionally, the transaction time becomes longer due to the passing of phone to and fro from the staff to the customers, to scan and verify the purchase. Would that actually lead to loss of restaurant customers due to longer queuing time, and wastage of Elite Workers and Bosses time waiting in line to purchase their meal?
