Introduction to Project:-
As the internet is growing fast and large group of people have access to the internet, people started doing transaction through internet instead of visiting places directly.
Whenever a customer goes in any big restaurant he is been welcome by the bouncer of the restaurant. Customer needs to convey him number of person dining, as per the seating arrangement bouncer allots him a table. Bouncer introduces the customer with the restaurant menu items with the help of the menu card and places the order. Many times in rush hours customer need to wait outside the restaurant for free tables. When table get allotted, customer can place order. This order also takes time to prepare. In fastest internet era this process is quiet time consuming and inconvenient.
The proposed Online Restaurant Management System is designed keeping both customer and restaurant management in the mind so that customers can book table online and place order with the help of interacting menu.
As Online Restaurant Management System is web based application will reachable to wide range of customers and will allow them to book table and place order online.
It is an Online Restaurant Management System, a comprehensive Restaurant Management Application which allows customers to place food orders online as well as helps restaurants to manage their customers and their orders. The system employs the latest, state-of-the-art technology and operates under a local network, combined with external Intranet and Internet networks.
Online Restaurant provides an online table booking, online order placement solution for the customers.
Online Restaurant is web based, this makes it highly scalable and extremely portable as it can be accessed anywhere in the world as long as you have access to the Internet and a browser.
Objective & Scope of the Project:-
Objective
1. Display interactive menu items
2. Display ongoing offers and discounts
3. Online request for ordering items
4. Online request for delivery of an order as per convenience
5. Online bill generation
6. Reach to wide range of customers
7. Online table booking in the restaurant
8. Cash on delivery payment
Purpose and Scope
The main purpose of the Online Restaurant Management System is to reach to wider range of customers and to educate them about existing and new packages and discounts offered by restaurants.
One more purpose is to allow customers to place order online using interactive menu so that they can receive order at home.
Allow customer to pay offlinei.e cash on delivery.
Provide customers to place order from outside restaurant and get order placed when table is been allotted to them. This reduces the time consumption.
The Online Restaurant Management System is to be developed to reduce the manual work carried out in restaurants; customers will be introduced with the interactive menu.
This project helps the management to know customers order details in few seconds.
Problem Definition:-
It is assumed that currently order placement is done through bouncers or waiters. In both the cases menu list is being provided to customer in form of printed menus or through menu boards. Then interested customer has to call waiter or bouncer for table and order placement. This is time consuming. Also its coverage is limited
System-Study andAnalysis
Existing system:-
The Existing system is manual system.
All kind of works are carried out manually by the employees of the organization.
Bill books are having bill number and the name of the customers.
Separate registers are maintained for keeping written records of Bill, Stock, Services and Customers.
Limitations of the Current System:
• At present, the requirements of the system are done manually and hence there are number of limitations.
• The information is maintained in books and files, which is very difficult.
• Reports are produced by manual processing, that will be an unformatted manual and unreliable.
• Data security is less.
• Records are more prone to getting lost or misplaced.
• The Online Restaurant Management System has a large customer database which cannot be deal with using files and paper work methods.
Customer Register:-
Separate books are maintained to keep the of a customer name, address, contact information, car no etc.
Employee Register:-
It has the details of the sales handled by the vendor. This register has the vendor name and the bill number.
Customer Bill Register:-
Separate bill book are maintained in which date, total amount and number of items sales are written by the cashier.
Administration Register:-
A separate book of all the details of the vendor and its bill are maintained.
Proposed system:-
• The Online Restaurant Management System maintains systematic records of the dealers, cars, employees, customers in a cost effective manner.
• It provides Data security by providing authentication for the user of the system.
• All records can be accessed exclusively by the administrator. The administrator has the rights to modify any record.
• Increased end user productivity because of flexible data access.
• Graphically oriented, highly interactive user interface.
• Increased developer productivity through usage of easy to use easy tools.
• Improved access to information because of networking.
• Better control of corporate data through centralized data, Systems & network management.
• Easier maintenance of application & data.
• It reduces the burden of staff.
ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM
1. The proposed system fulfills all the functions needed by the management regarding database entries, customer and payments details.
2. System maintains all required information of the customer, vendor, purchase payment details, sales details.
3. System provides various notes related to service to facilitate the employees.
4. System maintain backup of data base, import data, export data, to avoid loss of data.
5. System gives alert automatically for low stock status.
6. System maintains detail of the stock.
7. The system allows the user to calculate any sort of payment related calculations.
8. Reports are generated automatically when required.
9. Bills are also generated automatically.
10. In addition the system provides:
Improved reports generation with improved handling of data.
Accurate and systematic archiving of records.
Radical facility of payment calculations.
More automated payment calculations.
Need for new system:-
Errors caused due to manual processing of data must be reduced.
Security features like username-password authentication must be enforced to prevent unauthorized access.
Logical and technical errors must be found.
Facility to research a specific record must be enforced.
System must be user-friendly.
Manual system has many drawbacks over the existing computerized system.
• Manual system is quite time consuming.
• Loss of files causes loss of data.
• Retrieving the data is quite difficult.
• Maintaining the records is also a very difficult job.
• Records files consume a lot of space.
• Possibility of error occurring is quite high.
• It also increases redundancy.
• Security level is very low.
Features of new system:-
1. It is very easy compared to manual system as everything becomes automated.
2. No separate registers have to be maintained as all records can be stored inside this automated system. Thus, paper work is reduced.
3. Manual work is almost reduced to zero.
4. It is cost beneficial as it reduces the money spent on the employee (salary) for maintaining records in the register.
5. Processing a particular service is faster, efficient and accurate.
6. Stock updating becomes very easy, huge amount of stock can be stored and stack availability can be checked in few seconds.
7. The bill, which is generated, will have all details like customer name, car id, service details, date service amount etc.
