Abstract
In some embodiments, systems and methods are disclosed for location triggered order preparation. Timing and slip logic may be used to prepare orders to be ready for in-restaurant dining, pickup, and/or delivery based on numerous factors including number of orders, network bandwidth, restaurant properties, ordered menu items, the location of one or more vehicles, among others.
Claims22
A system for ordering in a restaurant, the system comprising:
- at least one data processor;
- a data storage device;
- and
- a memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one data processor to:
- receive input information pertaining to an order, the input information comprising:
- (i) at least one menu item, (ii) pricing, (iii) order size, (iv) customer identification, (v) desired order completion time, (vi) order type, (vii) preparation time, (viii) productive capacity at a given time interval, (ix) order status, or (x) some combination thereof;
- based at least on the input information, apply order timing logic to generate timing information related to the order, wherein the timing information comprises a wait time associated with the order;
- store the timing information in the data storage device;
- transmitting, by the data processor via a cloud network system, the timing information to a plurality of interconnected restaurant location servers that uses a feedback loop to update an overall order queue used for selecting a restaurant location, wherein each restaurant location comprises at least one processor to process the order;
- cause the wait time to be displayed on a display.

A system for scheduling a restaurant order for a customer, the system comprising:
- a database to store information;
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- receive input information pertaining to an order, the input information comprising:
- (i) at least one menu item, (ii) pricing, (iii) order size, (iv) customer identification, (v) desired order completion time, (vi) order type, (vii) preparation time, (viii) productive capacity at a given time interval, (ix) order status, or (x) some combination thereof;
- based at least on the input information, apply order timing logic to generate timing information related to the order, wherein the timing information comprises a wait time associated with the order;
- store the timing information in the data storage device;
- transmitting, by the data processor via a cloud network system, the timing information to a plurality of interconnected restaurant location servers that uses a feedback loop to update an overall order queue used for selecting a restaurant location, wherein each restaurant location comprises at least one processor to process the order;
- cause the wait time to be displayed on a display.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with computer-executable instructions, that when executed by a device, cause a processor to:
- receive input information pertaining to an order, the input information comprising:
- (i) at least one menu item, (ii) pricing, (iii) order size, (iv) customer identification, (v) desired order completion time, (vi) order type, (vii) preparation time, (viii) productive capacity at a given time interval, (ix) order status, or (x) some combination thereof;
- based at least on the input information, apply order timing logic to generate timing information related to the order, wherein the timing information comprises a wait time associated with the order;
- store the timing information in the data storage device;
- transmitting, by the data processor via a cloud network system, the timing information to a plurality of interconnected restaurant location servers that uses a feedback loop to update an overall order queue used for selecting a restaurant location, wherein each restaurant location comprises at least one processor to process the order;
- cause the wait time to be displayed on a display.
