The purpose of this project was to develop a web based restaurant management system that can
be used by customers to place orders for the available menus online. It can also be used to ease
the management’s tasks of managing employees, expenses, and sales. The project was
implemented because of the challenges of using the traditional system, in which all works and
procedures are recorded on papers that are prone to data loss, hectic and time consuming in
generating restaurant reports.
With the use of questionnaires, observation and document reviews, data was collected from
project stakeholders and analyzed. Data flow diagrams and Entity relationship diagrams were
used to accomplish system analysis and design. The system was implemented using Apache web
server, MySQL database server, Hypertext Preprocessor, Hypertext markup language, Cascading
style sheets and JavaScript. System testing and validation was also done by allowing users of the
system interact with it using test data.
Findings showed that most of the customers were unsatisfied with the current system used for
making orders and agreed that the introduction of a webbased restaurant management system
that allows them to make orders anytime online would improve the services. The result of the
project was a web based restaurant management system and the researchers recommend that
other restaurant companies should embrace the system.
