Abstract – The main object of this paper is to develop a
ingenious menu ordering system for restaurants based on
Xbee-module, Arduino UNO and PC/Laptop. Ingenious
system means smart or intelligent or automatic system.
Automation is necessary to reduce man power. This system
is one away i.e. one end we can transmit data and on the
other end we can received data. This will be used full for
many applications such as in restaurants, hotels etc. This
system allows the user to build and maintain a restaurants
or hotels that is intelligent enough to keep more automated
application. By implementing this system, it is explore a
verity of different engineering challenges hardware design,
software programming and other aspects. This is
combination of an embedded system and wireless
commutation used in designing of various applications
ranging from industrial automation to home automation.
The traditional pen and paper is method by the ingenious
menu ordering system. Because of this system customer can
easily order food from their table.
Key Words: Model is designed in Arduino UNO R3, XBee
Module, GLCD Module, and Restaurant Management.
1. INTRODUCTION
The ingenious menu ordering systems are different
from ordinary menu ordering systems, where the
different smart devices in the presence intelligent
devices. The main aim of this paper is a holistic
approach to the restaurant management of the
modern restaurants. The food ordering system is
present with the use of a handheld device placed on
each table which is used to make an order at the
restaurant.
The system uses a GLCD display module which is
placed on each customers table for them to make
orders. The order is made by selecting the items
displayed on GLCD display module. The order will be
sent from the customer section using xbee module
and automatically will be shown on the PC/laptop at
the kitchen. The bill will be displayed with table
number at the billing section.
The expected and benefits are improving standard
service, reduce number of payment for employee,
gain profit, make customers are more interested and
also restaurant become famous when use technology
modern system.
2. MATERIALS USED
2.1 Graphics LCD
This is 2.4” TFT LCD touch screen (ILI9341) display
module used to order the menu items on each table
by the customer and is then sent to billing section.

1) Technical specs of Arduino UNO R3
 2.4″ diagonal Touch LCD TFT display
 240×320 resolution, 18-bit (262,000) color
 8 bit digital interface, plus 4 control lines
 Uses digital pins 5-13 and analog 0-3. That
means you can use digital pins 2, 3 and analog 4
and 5. Pin 12 is available if not using the microSD
 5V compatible! Use with 3.3V or 5V logic
 Onboard 3.3V 300mA LDO regulator
 Working temperature: -30°C ~ 70°C
 4 white LED backlight. On by default but you can
connect the transistor to a digital pin for
backlight control

2.2 Arduino UNO R3
The Arduino is an open source, programmable
microcontroller and software supported the ATMega
chip. The Arduino board may be programmed using
the Arduino software. The syntax for this can be
almost like is similar to C/C++ and JAVA.
Fig -2: Arduino UNO R3
1) Technical specs of Arduino UNO R3
 Microcontroller - ATmega328P
 Operating Voltage - 5V
 Input Voltage - 7-12V
 Digital I/O Pins – 14 (of which 6 provide PWM
output)
 PWM Digital I/O Pins – 6
 Analog Inputs Pins - 6
 DC Current for 3.3V – 50mA
 Flash Memory - 32KB (ATmega 328P) of which
0.5 KB used by bootloader
 SRAM – 2KB
 EEPROM - 1KB
 Clock Speed - 16MHZ
The Arduino Uno Board may be powered via the USB
connection or with an external power supply. The
facility source selected automatically. External power
can come either an AC-to-DC adapter or battery.
2.3 XBee Module
XBee S2C could be a RF module designed for
wireless communication or data exchange and it
works on ZigBee mesh communication protocols that
sit on top of IEEE 802.15.4 PHY. The module provides
wireless connectivity to end-point devices in any
ZigBee mesh networks including devices from other
vendors. Please note that XBee could be a module
designed by ‘DiGi’ and ZigBee is that the name of the
protocol followed by XBee modules for establishing
wireless communication. With some of those
modules the user can setup their own ZigBee
network up-and-running in an exceedingly matter of
minutes. The XBee RF Module is compatible with
other units that use ZigBee technology. These include
other XBee modules, Connect PortS gateways, XBee
and XBee-PRO Adapters, XBee Sensors and other
products that are designated with “ZB” product
name.
Fig -3: XBee Module
1) Technical specs of XBee Module
 Transmission Frequency: 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz
 Number of Channels: 16 Direct Sequence
Channels
 Featured with UART (250 Kb/s maximum) and
SPI (5 Mb/s maximum) interface
 Featured with software adjustable transmitting
power
 Indoor/Urban Range: 200ft
 Outdoor RF line-of-sight Range: up to 4000ft
 Transmit Power Output: 6.3mW (8dBm) in Boost
mode,2mW (3dBm) in Normal mode
 RF Data Rate: 250,000 bps
 Receiver Sensitivity: -102dBm in Boost mode, -
100dBm in Normal mode
 Supply Voltage Range: +2.1V to +3.6V
 Operating Current: 33mA (at3.3V, for Normal
mode) , 45mA (at 3.3V,for Boost mode)
 Idle Current: 9mA
A single XBee module does not have much use unless
you already have a ZigBee mesh network up and
running. So if there is no mesh network working you
need at least two modules for establishing wireless
communication and it is best to use a bunch of them

to establish a mesh. This mesh could be implemented
in applications like HOME AUTOMATION where all
devices communicate with each other to give user
most optimized performance.
3. METHODOLOGY
The methodology used is divided into two parts as
system design and system process flow.
3.1 System Design
Fig -4: Block diagram of transmission Part
Transmission Part block diagram for this system is
shown in fig.-4.It contains Graphical LCD at one port
of the Arduino. At the other port of the Arduino,
input from Graphical LCD is connected. Two switch
(SW1 &SW2) connected to microcontroller. The
regulated power supply is connected to
microcontroller. The SW1 switch use for Water
Bottle and SW2 switch use for Waiter.
Fig -5: Block diagram of Chef Unit (Receiving Unit)
The chef unit or receiving block diagram for this
system is shown in fig. - 5. In receiver PC/Laptop is
connected at Xbee module.
Fig -6: Block diagram of Xbee PC Interface Board
XBee works on the TX / RX logic so if we want to
interface xbee with computer, we need to use a serial
module. This serial module consists of MAX232.
3.2 System Process Flow Chart
The system uses a GLCD module which is placed on
each table for the customer to make orders. The
Order is made by selecting item made available in the
menu items on the GLCD display. Then, the code is
decrypted by using Arduino UNO R3. Later it
transmits the data via Xbee communication module
once order is confirmed by the customers.
The processed data is sent to the PC/Laptop in
kitchen section for ordering purpose, and to the
billing section for the billing purpose. This system
will be done after the customer completed their
orders.

Fig -7: System Process Flow at Transmission part
The GLCD must be initialized within the beginning.
Menu is displayed on the GLCD so the program waits
for the choice of menu item. If the menu is chosen
and therefore the quantity is greater than 0 than the
order is transmitted to the ordering department. And
if the user asks for the bill then the bill is displayed
on the screen.
Fig -8: Receiver Process Flow chart
On the receiver side Computer is initialized. If the
order is received than it is displayed on screen along
with the table number.
3.3 Software Design
The software Arduino IDE was utilized in embedded
C language. The Embedded C language is employed to
put in writing a source codes for this Arduino UNO
R3 which is then are going to be compiled. When the
program can be successfully run no error in the
source code, then the Arduino UNO R3 will be
programmed.
4. CONCLUSIONS
This type of systems can prove worthy in
transforming the restaurants management system.
It’ll minimize manual service given by waiters and
serving staff, thus eliminating the human mistakes.
Taking the orders through digital touch screen
(GLCD) avoid wastage of paper and also reduces the
requirement of printing text of menu card. A
customer going into restaurant doesn’t should watch
for the waiters to require the order. As soon as
he/she occupies a seat, he/she can order whatever
he/she needs; also the customer has liberty to take
its own time to position order. This system
technique, the complaints about the services is
eliminated.
