ABSTRACT

The "Wireless Communication-Based Menu Ordering System" presents an innovative dining

experience that seamlessly integrates technology into the culinary world. Leveraging Arduino
Uno, Bluetooth communication, LCD display, a 4x4 keypad, and a buzzer, this system offers
an efficient and interactive way for customers to browse and order from a restaurant menu. In
today's fastpaced world, diners seek convenience and accessibility when selecting their meals.
This project addresses these demands by introducing a wireless communication solution.
Customers can use a mobile app to connect to the restaurant's menu via Bluetooth. Once
connected, they can peruse the menu, view item descriptions, and place their orders directly
from their smartphones. The orders are relayed to the chef through the system, providing real-
time updates on customer selections. The chef can then prepare and send out the requested
dishes, streamlining the kitchen's workflow and reducing order processing times.

INTRODUCTION

Robots can reduce human works. A robot can work 24 hours restless but a man cannot. That's
why we use robots in different areas to reduce human work. It also saves our valuable time and
money. Robots are widely used in restaurants is a new movement for the restaurant's owner.
Restaurant owners use robots because of shortage of waiters. Robotics technology are
developing very fast. New techniques are implemented in robotics that can read human ideas.
This type of robot can be used for injured, sick, older people. Robots are also used in the
military as a luggage carrier. This work results an automated waiter robot prototype that can be
used in a restaurant instead of human waiter. The robot made the restaurant environment more
charming. When the customer orders a food, then the robot takes the food from the chef and
serves it to the customer. The customer give order using a QR code situated on table and Robot

body. When the customer scans the QR code at that time a menu bar will open on that device
and they can select their item and order that item using mobile app or web app. User can also
order foods by typing buttons on the robot. The robot follows the black line and reaches the
destination without any problem. This robot can avoid the obstacle and identify the destination
table using RFID tag reader.

The main objective of the project is to curb the need for human waiters in a restaurant and
improve the overall service of a particular restaurant. This system has been developed to
simplify the process of restaurant service. For a restaurant service to be ideal, speed and
accuracy play a vital role and a robot is specialized in these very well. A centralized database
is maintained where the information of all the customers is maintained. Whenever a restaurant
introduces something exciting and new in the town, the people in the town are attracted to it.
Serving robots could act as a special attraction to the youth as well. The automatic robots act
as an attraction to many customers. Every month the restaurant has to pay the waiters their
monthly income. Introducing the robots would mean only a one-time payment and apart from
that it will consume electricity to charge it and would be less as compared to the human waiter.

LITERATURE SURVEY

1.An Asif, M., et.al, proposed a waiter robot design to improve the restaurant automation
system. The robot can take food order and drinks from the customer and sent the order through
wireless network to the kitchen and reception using electronic menu bar.

2. Cheong, A.,et.al, proposed a wheeled based mobile waiter robot to solve the shortage of
waiters. General robot can carry a single tray but this robot can carry multiple trays. Here use

SLAM (Simulation localization and mapping) algorithm to produce a map so the robot follows
the map and reach the target table.

3. R.K., et.al, design a line follower robot. This robot has an ability to choose desire line
among multiple line. It can also avoid obstacle using obstacle-detecting sensor. The robot
control through an android mobile app. In this paper design an android based colour red line
follower robot to reduce the human work.

4. Malik, N.,et.al, design a prototype of automatic line follower servicing robot. It can take
order from the customer and serve to the customer by pressing a switch and the switch is set
on each table. In this paper use the RF technology for make the robot.

5. Thanh, V.N., et.al, design a double line sensor following robot with the combination of PID
controller also use the line reading algorithm. The robot goes to the determined table by
mapping data and give a collision and interrupt free service to the customer.

6. Pakdaman, M.,et.al, design a line follower robot that can follow any curve and circle path.
This type of robot can be used in delivery services, transportation system. In this paper the line
follower robot uses the IR sensor to detect the path.

PROPOSED SYSTEM

The proposed system presents an innovative dining experience that seamlessly integrates
technology into the culinary world. Leveraging Arduino Uno, Bluetooth communication, LCD
display, a 4x4 keypad, and a buzzer, this system offers an efficient and interactive way for
customers to browse and order from a restaurant menu. In today's fastpaced world, diners seek
convenience and accessibility when selecting their meals. This project addresses these demands
by introducing a wireless communication solution. Customers can use a mobile app to connect
to the restaurant's menu via Bluetooth. Once connected, they can peruse the menu, view item
descriptions, and place their orders directly from their smartphones. The orders are relayed to
the chef through the system, providing real-time updates on customer selections. The chef can
then prepare and send out the requested dishes, streamlining the kitchen's workflow and
reducing order processing times.

This project is well prepared and acting accordingly (including all the hardware and software)
as per the initial specifications and requirements of our project. Because of the creative nature
and design the idea of applying this project is very new, the oppurtunities for this project are
immense.

CONCLUSION

This project completely reforms the robotic vehicle and gives it a new dimension. It can easily
recognize the voice commands and runs smoothly. Further enhancement in project can be used
for Home security and military purposes where the commands can be given to robot without
risk by increasing the range and by installing cameras.

FUTURESCOPE

Menu ordering systems utilizing robots holds the promise of transforming the dining
experience into a seamless and efficient process. Imagine a scenario where robotic waitstaff
not only assists customers in navigating the menu but also takes orders, reducing the workload
on human staff. Interactive menu displays, powered by augmented reality, provide customers
with an immersive experience, overlaying detailed information on menu items through mobile
devices. Integration with a user-friendly mobile app enables patrons to browse menus, place
orders, and make contactless payments.
