A system for causing dispensing of a sheet of food service material for use in creating a food service order, the system comprising:

• a food request module stored on a remote computing device, wherein the remote computing device comprises a food request module configured to receive a request for food service for a customer, wherein the request for food service includes the food service order;
• and
• a food service material dispenser for dispensing the sheet of food service material, the food service material dispenser comprising:
• a communication element configured to communicate with the remote computing device;
• a roll holder configured to hold a roll of food service material;
• one or more rollers;
• a motor configured to operate at least one of the one or more rollers or the roll holder to translate a leading edge of the roll of food service material along a path within the dispenser;
• a cutting arrangement positioned along the path downstream of the roll holder and configured to perform a cut of the food service material to form the sheet of food service material, wherein the sheet of food service material defines a size associated with the food service order;
• a printer positioned along the path downstream of the roll holder and configured to print at least one of order information or personalization information on the food service material, wherein the at least one of order information or personalization information is based on the food service order associated with the dispensed sheet of food service material;
• and
• a chute positioned along the path downstream of both the printer and the cutting arrangement and configured to dispense the sheet of food service material, wherein the dispensed sheet of food service material includes the at least one of order information or personalization information printed thereon.
