One of man's necessities is food; thus, it is often a practice to visit places where favorite dishes are served. A restaurant is such a place of attraction for gathering, delivering food, and ordering services. The quality of service rendered is often an issue, especially with traditional methods such as using pen and paper, manual inspection, delivering orders to kitchen and tables, billing, etc. which are often prone to errors due to human failures. To offer a solution to the aforementioned, We designed a smart restaurant system to accelerate the ordering processes using an Android-based application installed on a smartphone to place an order to a kitchen embedded with an Atmega 328P Microcontroller interfaced with an HC-05 Bluetooth module, an LCD screen for display of orders and a buzzer alarm to confirm orders received in the kitchen. This smart approach is fascinating as order data can be sent through a wireless network connecting the kitchen computer with customers' smartphones through Bluetooth wireless technology. This study implemented a practical setup that can be replicated in a small startup restaurant or cafe with an average Bluetooth range of transmission. This technology is expected to reduce the level of error in processing the consumer’s order and reduce the burden on the waiters as they can focus on billing and other processes. This upgrade to the traditional method further enhances the quality of services. The system achieved significant success and showed an effective range of transmission of 20m during the performance evaluation. This result shows the reliability and suitability of adopting Bluetooth wireless technology in indoor settings such as a restaurant for placing orders with a limited range of transmission of about 20m.
