`
`FOR: INFORMATION MANAGEMENT AND SYNCHRONOUS

`
`
`
`FIELD OF THE INVENTION
`
`This invention relates to an information management and synchronous
`
`communications system and method for generation of computerized menus for restaurants and
`
`other applications with specialized display and synchronous communications requirements
`
`related to, for example, the use of equipment or software with non-PC-standard graphical

`

`
`and synchronous communication between host computer, digital input device or remote pager

`
`via standard hardwired connection, the internee, a wireless link, smart phone or the like.

`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`While computers have dramatically altered many aspects of modern life, pen and
`
`paper have prevailed in the hospitality industry, e.g., for restaurant ordering, reservations and
`
`22 (cid:9)
`
`wait-list management, because of their simplicity, ease of training and operational speed. For
`
`23 (cid:9)
`
`24 (cid:9)
`
`25 (cid:9)
`
`example, ordering prepared foods has historically been done verbally, either directly to a waiter
`
`or over the telephone, whereupon the placed order is recorded on paper by the recipient or
`
`instantly filled.
