Abstract: An ordering app running on a mobile device, one or more central servers, one or more venue servers, one or more ordering apps, plug-ins, kiosks, point of sale systems, beacons, pucks, tents, and automated appliances cooperate to prepare orders for a customer. Methods embodied as software programs running on the venue servers and the central servers advance the customer's order through various modules hosted on the venue server. A final module causes the customer's order to be prepared.

Abstract: In general, this disclosure is directed to techniques for enabling an application extension executing as part of an application of a computing device to: automatically predict, based on contextual information associated with the computing device or the application, potential search queries from a set of predetermined search queries, and display graphical elements (e.g., icons, images, or other types of graphical elements) indicative of the predicted search queries within the graphical keyboard. The application extension may analyze the contextual information for use in the search query prediction only after receiving express consent from a user of the computing device to do so. The application extension may execute, or cause to be executed, a search based on a predicted search query in response to the computing device detecting a user input that selects, from directly within the graphical keyboard, the graphical element that is associated with the predicted search query.

Abstract: A computing device may include a presence-sensitive display, at least one processor, and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to output, for display at the presence-sensitive display, a graphical keyboard including a plurality of keys and a suggestion region; determine, based on a selection of the suggestion region or one or more keys from the plurality of keys, a search query; retrieve one or more search results determined based on the search query; and output, in place of at least a portion of the graphical keyboard, a visual representation of a particular search result of the one or more search results.
