ABSTRACT

A smart conveyor system for conveying food orders from a restaurant to patrons
disposed within vehicles, comprises a first patron drive-through lane, a
second patron drive-through lane, a first vertically oriented conveyor tower,
a second vertically oriented conveyor tower, a horizontally oriented conveyor
housing extending above the first patron drive-through lane and connecting the
first and second vertically oriented conveyor towers together, and at least
one conveyor traversing the first and second vertically oriented conveyor
towers and the horizontally oriented conveyor housing for transferring a food
order from the first vertically oriented conveyor tower to the horizontally
oriented conveyor housing, and from the horizontally oriented conveyor housing
to the second vertically oriented conveyor tower. A sensor
activated-computer-controlled system controls the various conveyors.
