Summary:This is an automatic food preparation system comprised of four subsystems: (1) a trailer management system, (2) an inventory management system, (3) a food preparation system, and (4) a user interface system for ordering pre-prepared foods. The trailer management system is a networked computer system that allows the management of multiple trailer units that deliver prepared foods for one or more customers. The inventory management system is a computer networked system that operably communicates with the trailer management system and the food preparation system. The inventory management system measures the consumables that are depleted on a per trailer basis and both plans the restocking and delivery of that inventory. It is contemplated that self-driving cars may restock parts of the system. The food preparation system comprises at least a food product that is stored within one or more freezers or storage mechanisms. It is thought that there is a demand-based algorithm that evaluates the need for pre-prepared foods based on interaction with the user interface system.
