Summary
Restaurant STOP in scenario 1399 is a theme-park food kiosk: land letter and lunch window, honor STOP before refill nags. Unlike dinner rush, franchise HQ, ghost kitchen, catering, staff roster, waitlist, vendor dock, banquet BEO, courier, wine club, allergen/86, last-call bar, stadium suite, hotel in-room dining, commissary bake, campus dining, food-truck park, airport F&B, cinema concession, ski-lodge cafeteria, marina galley, zoo cafe, or museum cafe, this list is a park-land lunch beat, not a gallery window.
Service pricing is devices plus SMS send volume. You bring the Android phone and operator SMS credit. Free is 1 device, 300 SMS lifetime, 300 contacts. Developer is 25,000 SMS per year. Starter, Professional, and Business list Unlimited SMS as platform send volume; devices and airtime stay metered.
A season-pass coupon after STOP is a promo you cannot defend. Send land letter. Keep the deal off the restriction reply.

Context
Kiosk desks land here after an auto-reply sold passes to a STOP guest, or after pass OTP rode the kiosk SIM. Promo and tray-ready cannot share a template.
Core scenario guidance
Honor STOP first. Template: land letter + window. No coupon on restriction. Isolate OTP.
| Lane | SMS body | Fail closed |
|---|---|---|
| Tray-ready | Land + window | Coupon after STOP |
| STOP | Suppress lunch nags | Keep tray-ready if consented transactional |
| Auto-reply | Ack only | Merch deal |
| Pass OTP | Separate device | Same SIM as lunch burst |
Canary a staff STOP after OS updates. MCP wraps REST. Developer Center owns fields.
Cost and ownership
Devices + volume + operator airtime on every retry. Developer is 25,000 SMS per year. Free (1 / 300 / 300) proves pairing, not a park kiosk desk.
Operations
Daily last-seen, battery, STOP ingest lag. After a firmware update, one staff STOP. On-call before unattended lunch windows.
Security and compliance
Lunch SMS reveal guest location in the park. Encrypt at rest. Never log pass numbers. Verify TLS on every callback.
Decision guide
Ship when STOP ingest, land templates, and OTP isolation exist. Delay if auto-reply can attach a coupon. If zero phone ops is mandatory, evaluate CPaaS for that slice.
Checklist
- Honor STOP.
- Land letter only.
- No coupon on restriction.
- OTP isolated.
- Spare paired.

Deep dive: production hardening
STOP ingest before radio is non-negotiable. Lunch bursts fail when OEM killers sleep the kiosk tablet. Battery exemptions dominate overnight event windows.
Deep dive: scaling and failure modes
Scale is lands times lunch seats, not a blast of the pass file. Never claim unlimited free cloud SMS credits with no device or volume meter.
Deep dive: integration discipline
Developer Center owns live API parameters. Persist guest STOP. MCP is a REST wrapper. If zero phone ops is mandatory, evaluate CPaaS. You bring the Android phone and operator credit.
