Abstract - In the last years the restaurant industry has lived 1.1 Components used in Smart Restaurant Food Menu

changing the way we do almost everything, menu cards are Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the

rather than expend energy running back and forth to the

There when we order they are noted in the system and it is
sent to their kitchen. When our order is ready our
token number is announced. With this system we don’t need
to wait for the server to take the order. A tab is provided with

LCD. Message will also go to ESP01 module through UART

Push Button Switches consist of a simple electric
switch mechanism which controls some aspect of a machine
or a process. Buttons are typically made out of hard material
such as plastic or metal.

4. CONCLUSION
There one of the most import areas for the restaurant industry
is obviously the customer service. To engage friendly and
obliging service staff is most challenging for the majority of
restaurant managers. But this is not the only issue in this area.
It’s also hard to motivate people every day, because the
customer service in restaurants might become very stressful.
Most of the stress occurs as soon as one customer service
member needs to take care of way too many customers at
once.
That’s why this project aims to support processes needed for
