Abstract:
Systems, methods and slice thickness gauges that are capable of providing customers with identifying features representative of varying thicknesses of food products slices available for purchase, and with which customers can place orders for sliced food products having a desired slice thickness. The method includes providing a slice thickness gauge to a customer. The slice thickness gauge includes a plurality of identifying features each identifying feature corresponding to a thickness of a food product that may be produced by the attendant. The identifying features include a numeric value that is an integer devoid of fractions and decimal values and corresponds to a slice measurement that can be configured on a slicing machine.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for purchasing sliced food products from an attendant at a store counter, the method comprising:\n providing a slice thickness gauge to a customer, the slice thickness gauge having a plurality of identifying features each identifying feature corresponding to a thickness of a food product that may be produced by the attendant, the identifying features including a numeric value that is an integer devoid of fractions and decimal values and corresponds to a slice measurement that can be configured on a slicing machine; communicating a customer selection to the attendant in the form of a slip, the slip including identification of the food product and the numeric value, wherein one or both of the slip and the thickness gauge include a representation of the slice thickness; communicating an acceptance of the slip to the customer; validating the order in response to the identification of the food product and the numeric thickness value; communicating invalid orders to the customer; configuring the slicing machine to slice the food product to a thickness corresponding to the numeric value; slicing the food product to the thickness corresponding to the numeric value; weighing and packaging the food product; notifying the customer that the food product is ready for retrieval.
