This invention describes a system for automating take-out orders for restaurants. It works by pulling menu information from multiple restaurant cash register systems, showing it to customers on a digital menu, letting them pick items and add upsells, and then sending the completed order back to the restaurant's system. The system is specifically designed to integrate with a variety of restaurant Point-of-Sale systems.
Why it matters: Filed before widespread adoption of advanced AI for recommendation engines. The claims cover determining upsell options, which is now significantly easier and more effective with current machine learning capabilities.
