# Introduction - How Does Online Food Ordering System Work {% embed url="" %} The online ordering system for restaurants allows restaurant owners to take online orders straight on their smartphones/tablets and process them extremely fast and easy. With our online ordering restaurant app, online orders are retrieved and confirmed in real time, providing a smooth real time ordering experience both for the customer and the restaurant owner. Once an online order is placed via the restaurant's website or Facebook page, the restaurant app on the mobile device generates a ringing sound notification. The restaurant owner needs only check the order and customer details, accept the order and set an estimated time for order delivery or pickup. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
