restaurant networked table management system and portable pucks that have
an ID chip reader which associates with a table with a ID chip located at
the table, thereby allowing for the real-time monitoring and updating of
location of customers within the facility. The system is programmed to
associate the customer location to the food order number and allows users
to query the system to determine the location of a patron by food order
number or to query the system to determine the food order number by
location. The networked system is a networked control, communication and
