Although the Salad System implementation will cost thousands of dollars in upfront and ongoing software and hardware costs, it will save the company money in the long run by avoiding hundreds of thousands of dollars in unnecessary legal fees and thousands of dollars in payroll costs.
Financial projections show break-even after three years, primarily due to cost-savings.

The company currently describes each menu item and ingredient, and categorizes each in terms of its calorie count, gluten composition, and vegan-friendliness. The system needs this menu item metadata to properly display the menu.
To store a comprehensive transaction history, the system needs to capture data about each order and payment.
To process customer payments, in some cases the system requires customer credit card information.
