Abstract
Traditional method that is commonly been used in hotels is by taking the customers orders and writing it down on a piece of
paper. Many solutions have been proposed for solving this issue. This Project is again one attempt in the same direction. In this
paper we discuss the automation for food ordering system. This system makes use of Bluetooth as a communication device and
TFT LCD touch plus display module compatible with Arduino Mega 2560 as hardware.

INTRODUCTION
Traditional method that is used commonly in hotels is by taking the customers orders and writing it down on a piece of paper
and then giving the order in the kitchen section .The food ordering system is proposed with the use of a handheld device placed
on each table which is used to make an order at the restaurant.
The system uses a TFT touch plus LCD display module which is placed on each customers table for them to make orders.
Order is made by selecting the items displayed on LCD. The order will be sent from the customer section using Bluetooth
communication, and automatically will be displayed on a screen at the kitchen.
The bill will be displayed with table number at the manager/billing section. The project will reduce the time spent on making the
orders and paying the bills, whereby the cost and man power also can be reduced.
II. COMPONENTS USED
TFT Touch Plus Display
This is 3.5 TFT LCD touch screen display module used to order the menu items on each table by the customer and is then sent
to kitchen section.

III. WORKING PRINCIPLE OF LCD
A touch screen is a 2 dimensional sensitive device that is constructed of two sheets of materials separated slightly by a spacer. A
common construction is a sheet of glass providing a stable bottom layer and a sheet of polyethylene (PET) as a flexible top layer.
The two sheets are coated with resistive material; usually a metal compound called Indium Tin Oxide.The ITO is thinly and
uniformly sputtered o to both the glass plate and the PET layer. Tiny bumps called spacer dots are then added to the glass side,on
top of resistive ITO coating ,to keep the PET film from sagging, causing an accidental or false touch.
When the PET film is pressed, the two resistive surfaces meet. The position of this meeting can be read by touch screen
controller circuit.The controller reads the X and Y position many times per second so the user may involve his stylus/ finger
rapidly across the touch screen and data will be captured.

IV. METHODOLOGY
The methodology used will be divided into two parts as system design and system process flow.
System Design
The operation of the whole system can be seen through the block diagram. The Fig. 5 below shows the project block diagram.
3.5 TFT LCD Touch plus display is used as the input and output for the system design

Fig. 5: Block Diagram of the Transmitter Section
The system uses a tft touch plus lcd module which is placed on each customer s table to make an order. Customer need to
select the menu available on the screen. The completed order will be transmitted to the kitchen section once order button is
pressed and the bill is sent at manager section using Bluetooth communication.
System Process Flow

Transmitter Section
2. Receiver Section
Fig. 6: System process flow at transmitter and receiver section
The system uses a tft touch module which is placed on each table for the customer to make orders. Order is made by selecting
item made available in the menu code on the touch lcd display. Then, the code is decrypted by using arduino mega 2560. Later it
transmits the data via bluetooth communication once order is confirmed.
The processed data is sent to the PC in kitchen section for ordering purpose, and to the manager section for the billing purpose.
This system will be done after the customer completed their orders.
Software Development
The software Arduino IDE was used in embedded C language. The Embedded C language is used to write a source codes for this
arduino mega 2560 which is then will be compiled. When the program can be successfully run no error in the source code, then
the arduino mega will be programmed.
V. CONCLUSION
As a conclusion, this hardware and software of project is successfully functioned as the objectives of the project. This project
helps to solve the problem faced by the restaurant entrepreneur in the attempt to organize the restaurant more efficiently skilled.
It can also be used to reduce the lateness and the error caused on ordering foods by the customers by waiters. By using this
system, the complaints about the services are eliminated.
This project can further be improved using tabs and help in development of more efficient food ordering system.
