A restaurant order system is a system that makes it easier for people to order food in a restaurant. This system allows customers to place their orders verbally or by using a computer terminal with an attached keyboard. The order is then sent electronically to the kitchen, which has been set up to receive and process the orders. A typical order system will have a tablet where customers can view the menu and place their orders. They may also have an electronic printer that prints out receipts with their orders listed on them. As of March 2015, there were 18,917 restaurants that used an order system.
