Abstract:

The restaurant industry is evolving rapidly, with technology playing a crucial role in enhancing customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. This paper proposes an embedded system-based restaurant automation (ESRA) system to automate key tasks such as order management, table monitoring, inventory control, and customer service. The ESRA system’s functionality, components, architecture, and benefits for restaurant operations are outlined in detail. In today’s competitive and fast-paced restaurant environment, effective management and service delivery are essential to meet customer expectations. By automating operations, the ESRA system offers a solution that improves efficiency, accuracy, and customer satisfaction compared to traditional manual processes.

Keywords: Arduino, Embedded system, Inventory Control, Restaurant Automation.
