Design and implementation of an Android application using WiFi-enabled devices for the food servicing industry

Abstract

Food businesses are constantly looking for ways to improve their services, and one approach that consistently delivers value is investing in new technology to do things smarter, faster and more efficient. The usual process of ordering meals in restaurants begin with customers making an order through a waiter which in turn passes the information to the kitchen staff for food preparation, and then finally reaches the cashier to record the billing. This study aims to improve this system by developing an android application that hastens customer-waitperson interaction in terms of compliance of orders through the use of WiFi technology.
