<p>A touch screen system (12) for drive-through restaurants includes an apparatus and method whereby both hearing and deaf customers may place their orders by physically contacting touch-responsive visual icons (100, 102, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 106, 108, 111, 112, 115, 121, 132, 136, 138, 142, 151, 152, 154, 156, 158) embodied in the screen. The touch screen (12) provides multilingual communication between the customer and the franchise. Audio speakers (44) are also provided. The customer chooses between the touch screen system and the audio function, and then chooses a language preference. A series of user-friendly screen menus (64, 104, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150) each have a series of icons and a submenu or navigation menu for allowing the customer to make a choice from the menu in order and then confirm the order.</p> |
