So I went to have lunch with my parents after my dance class which is one hour away from my home. We went to restaurant we had been to before, and while I was sitting there waiting for the menu to come and after for the food to come I was thinking that because of this rush the food is taking longer than usual to come, what could have been there or what could have helped that would help the customers to get get better knowledge about the arrival and preparation time of the food according to the amount of people that were there.
So when I thought about this issue an idea came to my mind which was, that there could be a device that could be placed outside the restaurant, the function of it would be that it would be like a small screen where all the dishes would be listed and whoever wishes to eat there can first go up to the screen and click on the dishes they want to have and as soon as the person clicks on the dish what the device will do is it will estimate the preparation time of that dish according to the occupancy ( which will also be estimated by the same ). So if someone has a movie ticket booked after 45 minutes and wants to have something ( like grab a bite ) so that device will help them decide faster what they should have according to the time that will be taken.
Another thing I felt while sitting there was, that the very low temperature of the AC was making the room very cold and I think the reason the staff kept the the temperature very low could have been because they thought that there are a lot of people so it would be humid if they let the temperature high, so what would help in calculating the temperature according to the occupancy?
So for this thing when I thought, I came up with something which is again a device the function of it would be that it would be a small device just like the size of a cctv camera which will be placed in the corner of the room what it would do is, it will estimate the amount of people in the room and according to that it will take out what the temperature should be and it will send a notification to the person’s phone ( whoever is controlling the temperature ) and that person will set the temperature accordingly. The same device will work in winters as well for heaters.
