This invention describes a system for restaurants that allows customers to place food orders online for dine-in service. It uses a single menu database to generate an online menu for customer devices and also power the restaurant's in-house point-of-sale system. Once an order is placed, the system can intelligently trigger its preparation based on factors like the customer's real-time location, their reservation time, or how long the food takes to cook.
Why it matters: Indoor positioning systems have become more accurate and widespread, potentially enhancing the precision of location-based order preparation triggers for dine-in customers. This could improve efficiency and customer experience by better timing food delivery to table arrival.
