Element Relationships
The relationships between elements define how your system functions:
External Entity → Interface
External entities connect to your system through interfaces
Customer → Order Counter
Interface → Subsystem
Interfaces can connect to internal subsystems
Order Counter → Kitchen Subsystem
Subsystem → Interface
Subsystems can connect to interfaces for outputs
Kitchen Subsystem → Pickup Counter
Interface → Interface
Interfaces can connect directly to other interfaces
Order Counter → Pickup Counter
