[0002] In service places such as restaurants or hotels, the common form of service is manual service. For example, when ordering food, the customer usually orders verbally and the waiter records in writing. There are also ways to queue up to order food. These forms have many defects: A waste of time for customers; incomplete and vivid introduction to meals; cumbersome ordering and unsubscribing processes that easily lead to human errors; high cost of using and changing menus; noisy ordering environment; unable to understand diners’ evaluations; communication barriers, etc.

Although some service places now use electronic ordering menus or automatic ordering systems instead of written records, which reduces human errors and shortens the time from ordering to ordering, but the menu content is mostly stored in each dedicated terminal. Confidentiality is not good, updates are inconvenient, etc., and the customer discount method is monotonous at checkout, and online points and comments cannot be realized
