#Abstract
ONLINE FOOD ORDER SYSTEM is a website designed primarily for use in the food delivery industry. This system will allow hotels and restaurants to increase scope of business by reducing the labor cost involved. The system also allows to quickly and easily manage an online menu which customers can browse and use to place orders with just few clicks. Restaurant employees then use these orders through an easy to navigate graphical interface for efficient processing.
It is known globally that, in today’s market, it is extremely difficult to start a new small-scale business and live-through the competition from the well-established and settled owners. In fast paced time of today, when everyone is squeezed for time, the majority of people are finicky when it comes to placing a food order. The customers of today are not only attracted because placing an order online is very convenient but also because they have visibility into the items offered, price and extremely simplified navigation for the order. Online ordering system that I am proposing here, greatly simplifies the ordering process for both the customer and the restaurant. System presents an interactive and up-to-date menu with all available options in an easy to use manner. Customer can choose one or more items to place an order which will land in the Cart. Customer can view all the order details in the cart before checking out. At the end, customer gets order confirmation details. Once the order is placed it is entered in the database and retrieved in pretty much real time. This allows Restaurant Employees to quickly go through the orders as they are received and process all orders efficiently and effectively with minimal delays and confusion.
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 Java and JSP Programming languages as well as seeing how powerful and dynamic they are when it comes to web designing and applications. The languages used to build this application are JavaScript, JSP, HTML and Java at client facing whereas Oracle database at the back-end because I found them to be extremely useful while working on the technologies.
This software is developed to help computer science students to learn about the Web application designing using JSP and HTML from their basic capabilities to build a complete working application from scratch. Further, it gives insight about how GUI interacts with server-side language, Java, and finally with the Oracle database.
I would like to thank everyone who contributed towards the completion of this project. I would like to thank our system analysis and design subject professor Dr. Shaligram Prajapat sir for the guidance and support during the course of making this project. My friends and family for their motivation and optimism. I learned a lot about various open source softwares in detail during my research for this project. I thank and acknowledge each and every person who contributed towards the successful completion of this project in any significant amount
