Abstract: Systems and restaurant locations for use with a mobile ordering system, and methods thereof, to provide at least more time-efficient pick up of orders by customers than with traditional ordering and pick up windows. Further, some embodiments use an artificial intelligence engine and one or more computer-implemented models to predict order ready times, pick up times, completion times, delivery times, and to generate control instructions for one or more autonomous vehicles and/or devices (e.g., appliances, food preparation robots, etc.).

Abstract: A method for preparing and delivering food orders is disclosed. The method includes receiving, at a computer system in a food preparation facility, a food order, wherein the food order is generated at a remote location with respect to the food preparation facility. The method further includes inputting information into a drone, wherein the information includes directions to the remote location. Thereafter, the food order may be placed in the drone, in response to completing preparation thereof. The food order may then be delivered to a remote location in response to releasing the drone.

Abstract: Systems and restaurant locations for use with a coordinated mobile ordering system, and methods thereof, to provide at least more time-efficient pick up of orders by customers than with traditional ordering and pick up windows.

Abstract: A facility for food preparation and distribution is disclosed. The facility includes a computer system configured to receive, via a network, a plurality of food orders from corresponding ones of a plurality of devices and receive electronic payments for ones of the plurality of food orders. The facility further includes a food preparation area in which the food orders are prepared and packaged, a food pick-up area arranged to facilitate a pick-up of a first food order, and a pick-up window arranged to facilitate a pick-up of a second food order by an occupant of a vehicle. The facility includes a plurality of single-vehicle parking spaces and an order-ready board configured to display directions for an occupant of the vehicle to proceed to the pick-up window to receive the second food order. The facility is designated to exclusively provide take-out orders.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for encouraging or incentivizing delivery orders is disclosed. The method includes monitoring, by a computing device, a plurality of delivery orders placed by users, determining, based on the monitoring of the plurality of delivery orders, at least one trending drop-off location, determining, based on the at least one trending drop-off location and at least one location of the users, a subset of users, and sending, to at least one computing device of the subset of users, an incentive or a suggestion to place a delivery order.

Abstract: Systems and restaurant locations for use with a mobile ordering system, and methods thereof, to provide at least more time-efficient pick up of orders by customers than with traditional ordering and pick up windows.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method may include receiving, by a device, over a network, an order from a device of a user, the order including information indicating a current location of the user. The method may include determining, by the device, a geographical relationship between the current location and a plurality of restaurant locations, determining, by the device, a future pick-up time for the order based on the determined geographical relationship and/or traffic delays, determining, by the device, that a current time respective to the future pick-up time is within a threshold time period to the future pick-up time, and causing, by the device, a notification to be delivered to the restaurant, the notification including an indication that the received order is to be prepared.

Abstract: Systems and restaurant locations for use with a mobile ordering system, and methods thereof, to provide at least more time-efficient pick up of orders or dine-in practices by customers than with traditional ordering, pick up windows, and dine-in practices.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for incentivizing logistically convenient delivery orders is disclosed. The method includes monitoring, by a computing device, delivery orders of users which include a pick-up location, a drop-off location, an estimated time of pick-up, and an estimated time of drop-off. The method further includes determining, based on the monitoring of delivery orders, a trending drop-off location and a trending drop-off time. The method further includes determining, based on the trending drop-off location, the trending drop-off time, and a current location of the users, a subset of users. The method further includes sending to the subset of users an incentive to place a delivery order.
