Android Based Food Ordering and Billing System Over Wi-Fi Network

Information Technology

Technology has entered almost every field in our life, but still its effect is not yet that evident in the food industry, especially the food serving outlets including restaurants, hotels. Even today, most of the restaurants in India follow the traditional pen and paper method to take order from customers, which wasters a lot of time of both, the customer and the restaurant. This work aims to substitute the traditional pen and paper method by automating the food-ordering process in restaurant and thus improving the dining experience of the customer. This system proposes an automated system that uses wireless communication, a centralized database, and an android application to place the order without even waiting for a waiter. The android application installed in the touch screen device, fitted at the table, contains all the menu details with pictures of the item. The ordered details are wirelessly sent to the chef and the cahier. The manager has his own computer system that is used to update the menu that updates the global database which is situated on server, view and manages table wise customers’ order, and receive feedback. As the system is automated, it become economical even from restaurants point of view, as it reduces manpower and just requires one time investment in installing the devices at table.
