Dynamic meal pickup time management system and method

Abstract

The present invention provides a dynamic meal pickup time management system and method, which includes multiple terminal devices. This system allows users to place orders through an ordering / pickup interface and transmit order information to a server. The processor within the server utilizes an algorithmic model to calculate the meal preparation schedule and estimate the meal pickup time. The system then sends the estimated pickup time back to the customer's terminal device in real time while simultaneously transmitting the meal preparation schedule to the kitchen terminal device. When the kitchen completes an order, the system dynamically updates the pickup times of pending orders based on the completion time of that order and notifies the relevant terminal devices accordingly.
