One of the current issues at Maxim is the more than 10-minute delay in table cleaning caused by labour shortage. This report proposes an automated dish-collection table equipped with IR sensors, wipers, conveyors, and descending platforms. The thinking process behind the design is presented through the Six thinking hats framework, Argument Mapping, and SWOT analysis, while the table mechanism and financial analysis display the feasibility of the solution. Key benefits include improved staff efficiency and reduced customer waiting time. With an initial investment of $445,000, the system is expected to increase table turnover by more than 10%. A pilot test under high-traffic conditions is recommended before full implementation.
