Design And Construction of a Smart Restaurant Service Using Conveyor Belt

In this digital world, the main focus is to automate every possible thing to take advantage in providing ease in human life. Automation is being seen in industrial consumer and commercial applications. We see in most of the restaurant’s meal orders is relying on the interaction with waiters to place the order in the kitchen. This cooperation is difficult during peak hours, leading to customer dissatisfaction. Besides this, the system is not even hygienic, especially in a situation like the Covid pandemic. By realizing this, Smart Restaurant System has been proposed in this project. The system covers the whole order process of a restaurant including the interaction between the customer, the waiter, the kitchen, and the cashier through wireless devices. By implementing this system we assure a hygienic food service system. We can reduce the time between the order and delivery process. As the order process will be done by the wireless system so there is no need for a waiter which helps to reduce the manpower of the restaurant system. The restaurant owner will be able to maintain the restaurant smoothly even during the pick hour. We have used Arduino NANO which controls the main function of the management system. An obstacle sensor system has been implemented so that it can sense the arrival of food and can stop by itself at the proper destination. We also used a conveyor belt by which the food arrives from the kitchen to the customer. The conveyor belt is run by a forward and reverse bias dc motor. For this, we used a motor driver module. Bluetooth module is used in wireless connection system. To avoid the use of regular menu system we used LCD and TFT displays for displaying the menu and placing the order. Alongside with all of this, we used other equipment necessary for the system.
