Online Food Ordering System

ABSTRACT
Online Food Ordering System is proposed for simplifies the food ordering process. This
System shows an user interface and update the menu with all available options so that it eases the
customer work. Customer can choose more than one item to make an order and can view Order
details before logging off. The order confirmation is sent to the customer. The order is placed in
the queue and updated in the Database and returned in real time. This system assists the staff to
go through the orders in real time and process it efficiently. Online food order system is mainly
designed primarily function for use in the food delivery industry. This system will allow
hotels and restaurants to increase online food ordering such type of business. The customers
can be selected food menu items just few minutes. In the modern food industries allows to
quickly and easily delivery on customer place. Restaurant employees then use these orders
through an easy to delivery on customer place easy find out navigate graphical interface for
efficient processing.

Introduction
The Online Ordering System can be defined as a simple and convenient way for customers to
purchase food online, without having to go to the restaurant.
This system is enabled by the internet – it is the internet that connects the restaurant or the food
company on one hand, and the customer on other hand.
Therefore, as per this system, the customer visits the restaurant’s website, browses through the
various food items available there and goes ahead and selects and purchases the items he or she
needs.
These items will then be delivered to the customer at his or her doorstep at the time they choose
by a delivery person.
Payments for such online orders can be made through debit cards, credit cards, cash or card on
delivery, or even through digital wallets.
This system for online food delivery is completely safe, secure and is a very popular method that
is revolutionizing the way in which the food industry operate.
Here we Propose an “Online Food Ordering System” that has been Designed for Fast Food
restaurant, Take-Out or College Cafeterias. The system can also be used in any food delivery
industry. This simplifies the process of food ordering for both the customer and the restaurant, as
the entire process of taking orders is automated.

The main advantage of my system is that it greatly simplifies the ordering process for both the
customer and the restaurant. When the customer visits the ordering webpage, they are presented
with an interactive and up-to-date menu,complete with all available options and dynamically
adjusting prices based on the selected options. After making a selection, the item is then added to
their order, which the customer can review the details of at any time before checking out. This
provides instant visual confirmation of what was selected

Motivation
The motivation for designing this application came because my family is involved in the fast
food business and I personally do not like waiting for long in the store or to have to call store to
place an order especially during the peak lunch or dinner hours. Moreover, I value recent
learning about the php Programming languages as well as seeing how powerful and dynamic
they are when it comes to web designing and applications. whereas mysql database at the back-
end because I found them to be extremely useful while working on the technologies.
This system specifically e made for or following issues

1. It reduce manual work.

2. The online food delivery system is overcome the problems in manual system.

3. This system is fully computerized.

4. It is user friendly.

5. Provide quickly reports.

6. Highly efficient and accurate.

7. Prevention of unauthorised access of data.

8. Automated.

Problem statements
1. Some of the major problems reported by the customers surveyed revolved around late
deliveries because of network problem

2. incorrect orders being delivered due to communication problem.

3. orders not being delivered at all, rude customer service.

4. , cold food being delivered, and the driver requiring a lot of guidance to find the delivery
location.

5. Sometime payment issue is occurred.

 6. Online food ordering system service now days increase your budget.

7. lack of a visual confirmation that the order was placed correctly.

Purpose or objectives and goals

The proposed system is developed to manage ordering activities in fast food restaurant. It helps
to record customer submitted orders. The system should cover the following functions in order to
support the restaurant’s business process for achieving the objectives:

1. To allow the customer to make order, view order and make changes before submitting their
order and allow them make payment through prepayment card or credit card or debit card.

2. To provide interface that allows promotion and menu.

3. To prevent interface that shows customers’ orders detail to front-end and kitchen staffs for
delivering customers’ orders

4. Tools that generate reports that can be used for decision making

5. A tool that allows the management to modify the food information such as price, add a new
menu and many others as well as tools for managing user, system menu and promotion records.

This will minimize the number of employees at the back of the counter.

The system will help to reduce labor cost involved.

The system will be less probable to make mistake, since it’s a machine.

This will avoid long queues at the counter due to the speed of execution and number of optimum
screens to accommodate the maximum throughput.

Literature Survey
Various case studies have highlighted the problems faced While setting up a restaurant.. Some of
the problems Found during the survey in the existing system are listed Below:

1. To place the orders customer visits the restaurant, Checks the menu items available in the
restaurant, and chooses the items required, then places the order And then do the
payment.
2. This method demands Manual work and time on the part of the customer.
3. When the customer wants to order over the phone, Customer is unable to see the physical
copy of the Menu available in the restaurant, this also lacks the Verification that the order
was placed for the appropriate menu items.
4. Every restaurant needs someone or the other to take order personally or over phone, to
offer the Customer a rich experience and even to process the payment.
Project scope and limitation

Note-Refer old document format that are already sent you.

1. This system will help to customer and administrator for the ordering process.
2. Easy to make ordering and hopefully can smoothen up the job of administrator and
waiter.
3. This system produce a computerized system in defining the best solution in food delivary
system.
4. Easy acces to any stage.
5. Lot of time is save.
6. Easy back up of data.
7.

Limitations

1. Cost associated with backp storage to the system than the cost associate with maintaining
on-site alone.
2. A potential for customer to fail to adapt to online ordering or tablesite checkout.

System Analysis
Existing System

1. The existing system happens to be a non computerized operating system.

2. All operations are done manually by the waiter carrying paper and to take down the order
of the customer or making an order over the counter.
3. This leads to mistakes because the waiter might not understand what the customer had
ordered therefore serving him/her a different menu.
4. This could be so embarrassing because the customer might not take it lightly with the
waiter which may lead to misunderstanding.

Scope of Existing System

1. It accepts customer order.

2. Check if food is available or not.
3. The specific orders are allocated to specific employees.
4. Employees provide services to the customers.

Limitation of existing system

Due to manual means being employed by the fast food restaurants, it is very difficult to satisfy
the wants and needs of the customers.

Most of the problems include:

1. Mistakes are made when taking the orders of the customers

2. The process of collecting customers’ purchases order is very tedious. This makes it
impossible to deliver goods on time.

3. It leads to lack of understanding between the customers and the employees.

4. The record keeping system is poor. Losses of vital records have been reported in the past
consequently. Besides, protecting the file system from unauthorized access is a problem that has
defiled solution.
 5. Unnecessary time is wasted conveying information through the ladder of authority.
Management at times seeks to get a copy of the customer’s order form and this may take a lot of
time to obtain it.

6. It causes reduction of production flow. These are the major problems facing the existing
system and would be corrected with the help of the proposed system.

Outputs and Reports Testing

Features to be tested are: 1. Proper redirected login as per the user. 2. Validation of login and register
module. 3. View Shopping Cart and the Catalogue. 4. View information of various fields. 5. Validation of
booking form.

1. Black Box Testing Black box testing treats the software as a black box without the knowledge of
internal behavior. It aims to test the functionality according to the requirements. Thus, the
tester only inputs data and sees the output from the test object. This kind of testing requires
 through test cases to be provided to the tester who then can simply verify that for a given input,
the output value is the same as the expected value specified in the test cases. 2. White Box
Testing White box testing is however, is when the tester has access to the internal data
structures, code and the algorithms. These methods include creating tests to satisfy some code
coverage criteria. For example, the test designer can create test to cause all statements in the
program to be executed at least once. Other examples of white box testing are mutation testing
and fault injection method.
