Abstract
A POS terminal receives an order for a food product. The POS terminal in turn selects a complementary product based on the food product. The selected complementary product has an age within a predetermined age range, such as between seven and ten minutes since the product was assembled. The POS terminal outputs an offer to substitute the complementary product for the food product. In one embodiment, the substitution is performed with no additional charge, so the customer will pay the price of the food product for the complementary product if he accepts the offer. The customer's response to the offer is received. If the response indicates acceptance of the offer, then the complementary product is sold in place of the food product.
