Walk-in Cafeteria

Information Science and Engineering

The proposed work targets to solve the issues faced by students in a university canteen by integrating a mobile application for online food ordering. During breaks, there is a huge crowd in the college canteen. Starting from the queue at the coupon counter to the serving counter, a lot of time is spent waiting because the students and faculty get late for their lectures. Both students and faculty often wish to have a way to considerably reduce or get rid of this waiting time. One solution to this problem is to have a system by which, once the order gets placed, it is directly displayed on a monitor in the kitchen. This would avoid the time wasted at the serving counter when a server takes time to deliver a previous order before taking the new coupon and placing it in the kitchen. Also, one can have a facility for placing orders in advance so that his/her order is kept ready just for the time he/she chooses. The time spent on tendering change can also be reduced by facilitating payments via e-wallet. As students have limited time for their lunch and there are a lot of students in the canteen looking ahead to their orders, they will simply place an order sitting in the classroom and later get their order. They will also make payment online. As you have got logged in with your username and password, visit any tab and order your food and stock up your contact details. Once you click on the submit button, you may receive an OTP. And while receiving your order, just give the OTP and take your order Insights will also help you schedule quicker and more strategically based on what days you are busiest when your sales are highest, and how much your average labor should be.
