  • a computer capturing an image of the object on one of a plurality of lanes associated with an order location and defining a signature associated with the image, wherein after the order location, the plurality of lanes are situated to allow the objects into a single lane before at least one of a payment location and a delivery location;

    said computer extracting a small region of interest from a portion of the image and said computer reducing the small region of interest into a unique signature for the image;

    said computer receiving the order placed from the order location;

    said computer capturing a subsequent image of the object in the single lane and defining a subsequent signature associated with the subsequent image; and

    said computer matching the object to the order using the signatures and thereafter displaying the order associated with the object at a user interface.
