GENERATION OF GEOFENCING BORDERS FOR QUICK SERVICE RESTAURANT ORDER PREPARATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18374445 titled 'GENERATION OF GEOFENCING BORDERS FOR QUICK SERVICE RESTAURANT ORDER PREPARATION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for preparing an order from a customer who is far from a quick service restaurant. The process involves receiving the customer's order, determining the time needed to prepare the food items, setting up a geofence around the restaurant, tracking the customer's position, and starting food preparation when the customer crosses the geofence.
- Receiving customer's order including food items
- Calculating preparation time for the food items
- Setting up a geofence around the restaurant
- Tracking customer's position
- Initiating food preparation upon customer crossing the geofence
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in the food delivery industry to streamline the ordering and preparation process for customers located far from restaurants.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently preparing orders for customers who are not physically present at the restaurant.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved customer satisfaction, faster order processing, and increased efficiency in food preparation.
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology could include food delivery services, online ordering platforms, and quick service restaurants looking to enhance their delivery capabilities.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of geofencing technology in the food delivery industry to track and manage orders from customers located remotely.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle changes in the customer's location after crossing the geofence?
The system may need to have a mechanism to account for changes in the customer's position post-crossing the geofence to ensure timely food preparation.
What happens if there are multiple customers with orders crossing the geofence simultaneously?
The system may need to prioritize and manage multiple orders efficiently to avoid delays in food preparation and delivery.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of preparing an order placed by a customer distant from a quick service restaurant includes receiving, from the customer, an order that includes at least one food item in need of preparation; determining, by a computer processor, an amount of time needed to prepare the at least one food item; positioning, dependent upon the amount of time needed to prepare the at least one food item, a geofence around the quick service restaurant; tracking a position of the customer; and, in response to the customer crossing the geofence, beginning preparation of the at least one food item.
