Abstract
A grocery ordering system is disclosed in which a customer can place an order for delivery in a single click or touch. The system can be configured to run on a device with limited screen size such as a watch or a small-screened handheld device. As the screen size of the device may be limited the order can be placed and the delivery time and day allocated in as few screens or menus as possible. A customer can place an order in a single step, as the customer's previous orders and delivery slots are used to allocate an order and delivery time based on a preferred list of goods to order and a likely acceptable delivery slot. The delivery slot is calculated to allow sufficient time for the customer to amend their order on a device with a larger screen size or improved processing power.
