Key Features:

  • QR Code Magic: Customers scan QR codes to initiate the ordering process, enabling a seamless connection between tables and the ordering platform.
  • User-Friendly Interface: An intuitive web interface allows customers to explore the menu, customize their orders, and complete transactions without hassle.
  • Real-Time Updates: Admins receive instant order notifications and updates, ensuring efficient order processing.
  • Audio Alerts: Our integrated audio notification system uses STM32 Nucleo and DF Player Mini to immediately alert administrators of new orders.
  • Lightning-Fast Response:  The system's lightning-fast response ensures that customers' orders are received and processed almost instantly.
  • Handling Multiple tables: The device can handle multiple tables simultaneously, thanks to 8 independent hardware sockets of W5300.

How It Works: 

QR Code Interaction: Each cafe table features a QR code with essential details – the Ethernet server's IP address and a table ID. When customers scan the QR code using their phones, their browsers send a request to the server, including the table ID as a parameter.


Ordering Form: The server responds with a form that displays the menu items that are available. This form is designed to be user-friendly and easy to navigate. The table ID, hidden in the form, keeps track of where the order originates.


Placing an Order: Customers select their desired items from the menu and submit the form. The server receives a POST request containing the chosen items and the table ID. This information is then processed by the STM32 Nucleo microcontroller, which manages the orders.


Order Confirmation: The server promptly confirms the order's successful submission, providing peace of mind to customers. Additionally, the STM32 Nucleo produces a pleasant bell sound, giving a tangible confirmation of the order.


Administrative Management: 

Admin Portal: Cafe administrators access a dedicated portal through the web interface itself. This portal acts as the control centre for managing orders. Upon requesting this portal, the server displays an organized list of active orders.


Efficient Order Handling: When an order is fulfilled and served to the customer, administrators can easily remove it from the list with a simple double-tap action. This straightforward process optimizes order management and ensures smooth operations. 

System Architecture 

The OrderEZ system is meticulously designed with an emphasis on technical efficiency and reliability:

  • Cafe Tables with QR Codes: QR codes initiate the ordering process for customers at different tables. QR contains the server address along with a unique table ID.



  • STM32 Nucleo + W5300 TOE Shield


This project leverages the power of the W5300 TOE Shield, which brings advanced TCP/IP Offload Engine technology to the table. With 8 independent hardware sockets, the shield handles multiple customer connections concurrently, ensuring rapid order placement. This efficient offloading enhances the entire system's performance, allowing the STM32 Nucleo microcontroller to focus on delivering a seamless user experience. So let me explain this thing. 

*) TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE)

The integrated TOE offloads network protocol processing from the microcontroller, resulting in enhanced system performance and responsiveness. The microcontroller can focus on application-specific logic, while the TOE handles low-level networking tasks. 

*) Independent Hardware Sockets

With 8 independent hardware sockets, the shield facilitates simultaneous communication with multiple clients (tables). Each socket corresponds to a table, ensuring that multiple customers can place orders concurrently without performance degradation.

*) Efficient Socket Multiplexing

The W5300 TOE Shield efficiently employs socket multiplexing, enabling the microcontroller to manage multiple connections concurrently. This feature optimizes resource utilization and enables seamless communication with multiple tables.

*) Dedicated IP Addresses

Each hardware socket can be assigned a unique IP address. This design mirrors the self-service cafe model, where each table possesses its distinct IP address. Direct communication between tables and the ordering system is thus efficient and rapid.

*) Reduced Latency

The hardware TCP/IP stack and socket architecture contribute to reduced latency. Customer orders are processed promptly and communicated to the admin portal in real time, ensuring a seamless ordering experience.

*) Reliable Data Communication

The hardware TCP/IP stack manages packet segmentation, reassembly, error checking, and retransmissions. This robust data management ensures reliable transmission of customer orders to the server, minimizing data loss.

*) Efficient Resource Management

The W5300 TOE Shield's independent sockets and offloading capabilities optimize resource management. The microcontroller is freed from low-level networking tasks, focusing on higher-level application logic and enhancing responsiveness.

*) Scalability and Flexibility

The shield's independent sockets enable a scalable system architecture. As the cafe expands, additional tables can be accommodated with new sockets and unique IP addresses, ensuring an efficient ordering process.

*) Integration with STM32 Nucleo

The seamless integration of the W5300 TOE Shield with STM32 Nucleo simplifies setup and communication, enhancing compatibility and streamlining communication between components.

*) Real-time Order Updates

Real-time capabilities enable instant updates to the admin portal as customers place orders. Administrators gain immediate visibility into incoming orders, enhancing order management 

  • HTTP Web Server 

 An ethernet server is created on port 80 which awaits client connections. The server responds to client connections in 4 ways: 

1.  When a customer scans the QR code it will initiate a GET request with table ID as a parameter, to the server IP (let's assume it to be 127.0.0.1), and then the GET request will be in a similar format

GET /?table_id=1 HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,image/apng,*/*;q=0.8 Connection: keep-alive User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/85.0.4183.121 Safari/537.36

Now the server sends the menu form back to the user

 2.  When a customer submits the form, a POST request to the server at path "127.0.0.1/order" with the ordered items along with table_id as post parameters. It is converted as JSON with table_id as the key and stored inside an array within STM32F429ZI.

POST /order HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,image/apng,*/*;q=0.8 Connection: keep-alive User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/85.0.4183.121 Safari/537.36  cartItems=Coffee%3A1%2CBurger%3A1%3Ftable_id%3D1%3B 

Now the server sends the order confirmation back to the user. 

3. When an admin visits the admin portal at "127.0.0.1/admin", the GET request has the form

GET /admin HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,image/apng,*/*;q=0.8 Connection: keep-alive User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/85.0.4183.121 Safari/537.36

Now the server responds with a list containing all the orders.

 4. When the admin double taps on the order a GET request is sent to "127.0.0.1/delete" using AJAX with table ID as the parameter.

POST /delete HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,image/apng,*/*;q=0.8 Connection: keep-alive User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/85.0.4183.121 Safari/537.36  table_id=1

Now the server deletes the order from the array where the order details are stored corresponding to the table_id. 

  • Audio Notification System

 In the context of this project, the STM32 Nucleo, DF Player Mini, and the speaker together create a responsive and effective audio alert system. The STM32 Nucleo handles the communication with the DF Player Mini and controls the speaker to generate audible alerts, ensuring that cafe administrators are promptly informed of new customer orders. This adds an extra layer of convenience and efficiency to the overall self-service ordering experience. 

The DF Player Mini is a compact and versatile audio player module designed to simplify the process of adding sound effects or audio playback to electronic projects. It supports various audio formats and comes with onboard storage (typically via a microSD card). The DF Player Mini can be controlled using serial communication (UART), making it a convenient choice for projects like the audio alert system. It's capable of interfacing with the STM32 Nucleo to play predefined audio clips or sound effects. 


The speaker is the auditory output component of the audio alert system. It's responsible for converting electrical signals from the DF Player Mini, which represents audio data, into audible sound. Depending on the design of the system, the speaker could range from a small piezo buzzer to a larger, higher-quality audio speaker. When triggered by the STM32 Nucleo in response to an incoming order, the speaker emits a distinctive audio alert, notifying cafe administrators of new orders in real time.
