My bet: their entire operations team was incapacitated by heart attacks

Everyone there wouldn't be so dumb as to consume their own food.

The latest comp.risks (Risks) article contains several explanations for the
outage.

Why anyone would design such a system to knowingly incapacitate a store's
order system due to a network outage is beyond me.  Once built that would be
the first or second test a store would go through.
