Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for efficiently facilitating the selection and purchase of a restaurant item using a customer ordering kiosk comprising displaying a set of restaurant items available for purchase on a first ordering interface screen, receiving a triggering signal, displaying an overlay interface screen and preventing the first ordering interface screen from receiving any input from a customer while the overlay interface screen is displayed. The triggering signal can represent that a restaurant item has been selected, customization of a restaurant item has been completed, the customer has finished selecting restaurant items or a predetermined amount of time has passed without any input signals being received by the kiosk. Additionally, the overlay interface screen can facilitate meal creation, restaurant item customization, payment and kiosk system timeout.
