Abstract
An embodiment generally relates to systems and methods for processing orders associated with an establishment. In particular, a customer can submit a remote order for goods offered by the establishment, along with an associated license plate number of a vehicle that is to pick up the order. An image capture device can capture images of a vehicle on the premises of the establishment, and provide the images to a processing module which use automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) techniques to determine license plate data of the vehicle. The processing module can further examine an order list to determine if the license plate data is associated with an order on the order list, and, if so, add the order to a priority queue.
