Designing an Information System for Managing Restaurant Orders

Abstract

At first sight, managing order management activities in a restaurant may seem simple, but in reality, things are not like that at all. All decisions made can have a major impact on how the business will evolve over time. For an efficient and corresponding administration is required the existence of a management information system for order management received from restaurant customers, but also of all specific collateral data: locations, meals, waiters or menus. Computer systems for managing these types of activities have practically influenced the way a restaurant can be administered today, fact for which they are currently used on a fairly large scale. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to present how to design an application for order management at a restaurant level, application that can be useful to both restaurant employees and its customers. In this context, the paper presents two UML diagrams (Unified Modelling Language) which describe both the processing of the future computer system (UseCase Diagram) as well as its conceptual structure (Class Diagram) from the perspective of the data that this computer system will manage.
