Abstract
With a move towards a digital India, digitization has to be ensured in all aspects of the society. In this paper a RFID based restaurant management system by using the concepts of open source technologies like Python and Raspberry Pi is presented. This system is introduced as a solution to the bottleneck caused by the cashiers. Focusing on selfservice, the proposed system aims to develop a digital, contactless and secure restaurant environment which will enable patrons to seamlessly Select, Scan and Eat their desired food items. Identification of food items along with the payment is done using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology wherein each food item is marked using adhesive RFID tags, the amount for the same is deducted automatically from the patron's digital wallet. This results in significant advancement towards automatic management and reduction in manual labour in a restaurant environment.
