Online Food Ordering System

Abstract

The online Food Ordering System described in this paper is designed to cater to a specific market need by providing small restaurants with the capability to offer their customers an online ordering option without requiring a significant investment of time and money in custom software development. This highly customizable system enables restaurant staff to easily manage the site content, especially the menu, through an intuitive graphical interface. The website, which is the only part visible to customers, is dynamically generated based on the current state of the system, so any changes are reflected in real-time. Registered visitors to the site can effortlessly navigate the menu, add items to their order, and specify delivery options with just a few clicks, greatly simplifying the ordering process. Within the restaurant, orders are quickly retrieved and displayed in an easy-to-understand format for efficient processing. This paper aims to provide detailed descriptions of the design and implementation of the system, along with explanations of all available functionalities and future development plans. Additionally, user manuals and troubleshooting tips are included for all three components to give readers a clear understanding of the intended typical use cases for the system.
