  • Patent number: 4664418
    Abstract: A system for handling orders including a sheet defining a plurality of delineated spaces. Indicia are displayed in the spaces for identifying a plurality of items available for ordering, and a pencil or other marking device is used for placing marks in selected ones of the spaces. The sheet is used in conjunction with a cash register or similar device, and the delineated spaces on the sheet form a pattern corresponding with the pattern of keys on the register. In use, the operator of the register will depress or otherwise operate the keys of the register in only those positions bearing a mark. In this fashion, the register will record the particular items ordered, and the sheet can then be used for order-filling and verification after removal from the face of the register.
