Abstract (en)

A device, including a panel (22) in which is mounted a number of finger depressable switches (24), a display mechanism (44), and control circuitry, is mounted to, for example, a counter of a fast food restaurant to allow small children to select menu items by depressing appropriate ones of the switches (24). Each switch (24) has appropriate indicia (26) indicating the menu items selectable by the switch (24). The display mechanism lights the switch (24) to indicate the selection and provides indicia (46) to an order taker of the selections made. The device further includes a sound generator (62) for producing a sequence of tones indicating the end of the order and a token vending mechanism (28) to dispense a token (29) or other novelty item, also triggered at the end of the order.
