Firstly the manager calls the local grocery and orders the food and ingredients needed for the upcoming day in the restaurant. When the products arrive in the restaurant the chef checks the products for their quality and with the help of the rest of the kitchen crew, they start to store them. In the meantime, the waiter and the cashier start making the necessary preparations, such as cleaning the tables and storing coins and notes inside the cash machine. When everything is in order, the restaurant opens and after a while the first costumer comes in the restaurant. Then the client waits to be sited. After a while, the waiter escort the costumer to his/hers table. After that, he waits for the waiter to come and take his order. The costumer gives the order to the waiter and the waiter takes it to the chef. The chef starts preparing the meal which will take some time; probably 40 minutes. After having the costumer waits for some time now, the chef calls for the waiter to deliver the meal to the costumer. It takes around 30 minutes for the costumer to finish its meal.

One great idea is to replace the paper menus with iPads. As a result, the orders will be taken faster because having the costumers looking through the menu, choosing what they prefer and sending their order to the chef. On the contrary, not all costumers know how to use an iPad. As a result, the waiters will have to make a brief demonstration on how to use it. It cannot be ignored the fact that every time the restaurant management updates the menus it costs a lot of money. Buying iPads is costly as well but the best part is that the only update needed to be made is in the software and not buying a new one.
