Networked weight scale for smart ordering

A system, comprising,

• a scale device for measuring weight of a food container when the food container is removably positioned on the scale device, wherein the scale device comprises at least one processor, wherein one or more applications are configured to run on the at least one processor, wherein the one or more applications are configured to detect weight of the food container and its contents using the scale device;
• the one of more applications configured to detect a first weight measurement of the food container, wherein the first weight measurement includes weight of the food container and a first amount of food to establish a threshold weight measurement;
• the one of more applications configured to detect a second weight measurement of the food container, wherein the second weight measurement includes the weight of the food container, the first amount of food, and a second amount of food, wherein the second weight measurement is an updated weight measurement of the food container, the one or more applications configured to subsequently log weight measurements of the food container and its present contents at time intervals;
• the one of more applications configured to intermittently adjust the updated weight measurement;
• and
• the one of more applications configured to provide an alert when the updated weight measurement is equal to or less than the threshold weight measurement.
