The Automated Menu Ordering System solves issues like long wait times, order mistakes, and reliance on waitstaff by allowing customers to select tables, browse menus, and place orders directly from a table screen. Customer can pay for their food. A manager oversees order fulfillment and overall restaurant operations, while an admin manages the menu, promotional deals, accounts, and branches.
