RAPID FOOD ORDER SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION Developing a Rapid Food Order system to promote a greater count of food lovers to splurge into the field of Restaurant. It integrates the benefits of an ording food with the convenience of an online excitement and going with the technology, minus the commuting hazards and expenses. It will usher in the immense flexibility and sophistication in the existing manual platform structures, with the perfect blend of synchronous and asynchronous interaction. It provides a means of collaborative E-ordering for the customers. This online application enables the end users to register online, select the food from the emenu card, read the E-menu card and order food online. By just selecting the food that the user want to have. The results after selecting the food from the E-menu card will directly appear in the screen near the Chef who is going to cook the food for you. By using this application the work of the Waiter is reduced and we can also say that the work is nullified. The benefit of this is that if there is rush in the Restaurant then there will be chances that the waiters will be unavailable and the users can directly order the food to the chef online by using this application. The user will be given a username and a password, by sing that everytime a user logs in he/she gets 2% discount in the total bill. This implies that the customer is the regular user of the Restaurant. Manual system involves paper work in the form of maintaining various files and manuals. Maintaining critical information in the files and manuals is full of risk and a tedious process. Including a framework showing how to apply Internet technology progressively as skills and confidence grow, the project demonstrates the route from adapting materials to developing an online environment. Nowadays people don’t have much time to spend in restaurant by just there and waiting for the waiter to take their order. Many customer visits the restaurant in their lunch break and recess so they have limited time to eat and return to theuir respective office and colleges. So this software helps them to save time and order food whenever they want without calling the waiter again and again. As well as if the customer is a regular customer of the Restaurant then the customer gets 2% discount on every product they order. The only role in this process is of hotel manager. As customers are not much involved in it. The manger has to manage everything. As any restaurant manager who has ever been out of work knows, finding a job is no easy task. In general management of a restaurant, the restaurant manager plays a vital role. The restaurant managers undertake the responsibilities of the whole restaurant business. They manage with all departments for the smooth running of business. They handle a huge number of information at the same time during their work hours. They have to be watchful about minimum details like the cleanliness of the spoons and buying rate of local milk to bigger issues like introducing a new dish in the menu. It might be the most difficult job for restaurant managers is to manage human

resource. Restaurants are known to be a very high income yielding business in terms of human resource, therefore restaurant managers everywhere struggles on a daily basis to maintain a group of experienced and competent people in the staff. Because if an employee fails to appear any day, the manager will have to do his duty himself. With all these qualities in hand, a person can look for job as a restaurant manager in several variety of restaurants like fine dining restaurants, hotels, resorts, fast-food joints or chains etc. The objectives of this project are: • To order food rapidly • To make it convenient for people who have limited time • Cost reduction • Reduced paper work • Computerized Order and billing system

RAPID FOOD ORDER SYSTEM
SYSTEM STUDY AND ANALYSIS 1. Existing System: The current System of a company is very ancient and need to be replacing as companies business is expanding. One of the biggest disadvantages of the current system is that lacking of computerized food order each time a customer need to order food he has to wait for the wairt to take their order and then give to the chef who will be preparing our food. So this process is very time consuming and very ancient. This is very difficult to manage. And there also situations where the customers mixes the order and gives food of one customer to another and there are also situations where customer forgets to take the order and even after tking the order he forgets to supply food on time. All the existing system is traditional and lack of use of technology, therefore the process is very time consuming and lengthy as paper work is there. This was creating problem in maintain data record at the end like employee attendence, bill, payslip, salary slip etc. This document will propose all features and procedu res to develop the system. This document specially containing details about objectives, scope limitation, process model, primary requirements, team development, possible project risks, project schedule, and finally monitoring and reporting mechanisms. Rapid Food Order System is very useful and important software for the Restaurant based Applications. Its provides features like online ordering, directly connecting to the chef, employee attendence, payroll system, salary slip, generating bill, etc. This software can also be used as reducing the man power used in the process. Depending on the computers which rarely goes wrong and always provides us with the appropiate output. It is also reliable. As the world is going with the technology it is imporatnt for us to also go with it. Using technology in the hotel makes the user attratective towards the restaurant.

Limitation of Existing System 1) Managing and keeping records of all students, papers, books and the entire granule manually. 2) As it is not online the customer have to wait for the waiter to take their order and has to wait for the food as well 3) Waiters have to manually keep a record of all the food ordered by the customer and that work is very complicated. 4) Waiters have to manually calculate the amount of money to be paid by the customer after having food. 5) Records are maintained manually so there are chances of damage and loss of data. 6) Less exposure for people in the world of technology.
