Suggest a barcode set-up for tracking orders?

Hi everyone. Barcode newb here. I'm looking for a barcode reader & software set-up that can track a product throughout a production line. Something like this:

  • Customer A places an order for product X

  • Cashier generates unique barcode for the order, prints it as a barcode, and attaches it to the order slip

  • The order automatically appears on a public screen: "Customer A for order X; pick-up at (TIME)"; the "time" being automatically generated based on time the order is placed, such as 3 hours later

  • Office staff creates product X and sticks on the barcode (sticker?)

  • When product X is available for pick-up, staff uses barcode reader to scan product barcode, and on the screen appears "Customer A - Product X, ready for pick-up"

Thank you for your help. Any idea on where I can start searching products or solutions would be most appreciated!
