Abstract

An ordering system using radio frequency identification. is interactive and can track the processing status in real time, the system at least includes a menu having a RFID tag, a customer display device, a kitchen display device, a service display device, and a host display device. The menu having a RFID tag includes items each disposed with a RFID tag switch for a customer to select the item by pressing the RFID tag switch. When pressed, the RFID tag switch is turned on and transmits a signal to a reader for the reader to generate real-time ordering information on a display device, which is provided for corresponding the customer with an attendant for ordering information service, wherein the reader can also simultaneously transmit the ordering information to the kitchen display device, the service display device, and the host display device for preparing a meal, delivering the meal and preparing a bill, thereby informing the customer with the processing status on the go and improving the meal ordering/delivering efficiency.

Claims

1. An ordering system using radio frequency identification, comprising a menu having a RFID tag, wherein the menu having a RFID tag comprises items each disposed with a RFID tag switch underneath for a customer to select the item by pressing the RFID tag switch to turn on the switch and to transmit a signal to a reader;

wherein the reader generates real-time ordering information to be shown on a display device and provided for corresponding the customer with an attendant for ordering information service.

2. The ordering system using radio frequency identification as claimed in claim 1, wherein the RFID tag transmits a signal to a reader for generating real-time ordering information on the display, the display further comprises a customer display device installed on a table for displaying, receiving and delivering ordering information.

3. The ordering system using radio frequency identification as claimed in claim 2, wherein the customer display device can be electrically connected to the menu and integrated with the menu as a single device.

4. The ordering system using radio frequency identification as claimed in claim 1, wherein the RFID tag transmits a signal to a reader for generating real-time ordering information on the display, the display further comprises a kitchen display device installed in a cooking terminal of the kitchen for displaying, receiving and delivering ordering information, wherein the kitchen display device comprises a user interface for inputting data, the kitchen display device also connects with a RFID tag programmer for generating one or more RFID tags corresponding to the ordering information to be attached to a utensil.

5. The ordering system using radio frequency identification as claimed in claim 1, wherein the RFID tag transmits a signal to a reader for generating real-time ordering information on the display, the display further comprises a service display device installed at an attendant post for displaying, receiving and delivering ordering information, wherein the service display device comprises a user interface for inputting data and connects with a reader.

6. The ordering system using radio frequency identification as claimed in claim 1, wherein the RFID tag transmits a signal to a reader for generating real-time ordering information on the display, the display further comprises a host display device installed at a management desk or a counter for displaying, receiving, delivering ordering information and managing backend data, wherein the host display device comprises a user interface for inputting data.

7. The ordering system using radio frequency identification as claimed in claim 1, wherein the menu can be a flexible display.

8. The ordering system using radio frequency identification as claimed in claim 1, wherein the menu comprises a select button for the customer to choose the items and a confirm button for the customer to confirm his/her order.

9. The ordering system using radio frequency identification as claimed in claim 1, wherein the customer display device and the host display device are linked with a payment mechanism comprising a credit card, an electronic wallet, or the like to let the customer check out at the table.
