A money managing
system for use in a business setting is provided that allows for automated ordering,
payment and
receipt of change. In a fast food setting, a customer uses a
user interface unit to enter an order, indicate the completion of an order and indicate a desired method of
payment. The user can then insert coins, paper bills, credit cards, coded tickets, or some combination thereof, in
payment. If no change is due, a dispenser is used to generate a
receipt. In cases where change is due, the dispenser may further issue a code, for example, in the form of a
barcode. The customer's food order can be picked up, for example, at an order window where money handling is not required. The customer may then use the
ticket at a money dispensing
machine to receive change in the form of coins and / or bills.
