I agree with the previous posters, but just one additional note relating to the original question - there are "total inventory control" systems that begin with wait staff holding 'palm pilot'-type devices instead of pad and pencil to take orders - each order is instantly electronically relayed to the kitchen, and also into the restaurant's database, facilitating everything from end-of-shift reconciliation, to ordering of supplies based on what's been consumed each day. We first saw this system in Japan, now it's everywhere. In the experience of restaurant people we know, the extra cost to get this system up and running will be vastly offset by a reduction in mistakes and dishonesty.

Sorry to say this, but I don't think the OP had any real interest in opening a successful restaurant.

Otherwise (s)he would have at least responded to other posts in this thread.

In today's demanding world, more and more people are turning to the web for simple ways to order food from their favorite restaurants. If you are a business owner and don't have your own website, there is a good opportunity you are losing business to your competitors. In addition, having a website does not promise that you will get the desired users coming to your site and this is where eatonline, an expert on online restaurant menus and online ordering can help.
