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. ## Claims ### Claim 1 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. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, further comprising generating a dynamic position of the order in a production queue associated with the order, and updating the dynamic position based on the input information. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, further comprising adjusting the timing information to modify the wait time associated with the order. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The system of claim 3, wherein modifying the wait time is configured to affect the speed of order inflow. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the order comprises a future order, and wherein the order timing logic further comprises logic to generate allowed time slots. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the order type comprises at least one of a pickup, a delivery, and a combination thereof. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, further comprising transmitting data pertaining to the timing information to at least one of a delivery order system, a drone, and a combination thereof. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein information related to the wait time is transmitted to at least one of mobile device display, a display board, and a combination thereof. ### Claim 9 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. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, further comprising generating a dynamic position of the order in a production queue associated with the order, and updating the dynamic position based on the input information. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, further comprising adjusting the timing information to modify the wait time associated with the order. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein modifying the wait time is configured to affect the speed of order inflow. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the order comprises a future order, and wherein the order timing logic further comprises logic to generate allowed time slots. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the order type comprises at least one of a pickup, a delivery, and a combination thereof. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, further comprising transmitting data pertaining to the timing information to at least one of a delivery order system, a drone, and a combination thereof. ### Claim 15 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. ### Claim 16 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein information related to the wait time is transmitted to at least one of mobile device display, a display board, and a combination thereof. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, further comprising generating a dynamic position of the order in a production queue associated with the order, and updating the dynamic position based on the input information. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The sys computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, further comprising adjusting the timing information to modify the wait time associated with the order. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein modifying the wait time is configured to affect the speed of order inflow. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the order comprises a future order, and wherein the order timing logic further comprises logic to generate allowed time slots. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the order type comprises at least one of a pickup, a delivery, and a combination thereof.
