Abstract
An approach is provided for smart order management. Smart utensils measure consumption of a meal by a customer. The smart utensils include at least one processor to perform the measuring and a transmitter that transmits data corresponding to the measured consumption. The smart utensils transmit the measurement to a restaurant data collection device. The approach predicts, based on the measuring, a completion time of the meal by the customer and notifies restaurant staff members of the predicted completion time.
