Online Food ordering system

Project Title

Online Food ordering system

Project Area of Specialization Artificial IntelligenceProject Summary

Food Industry has always been a profitable industry not only for manufacturers, suppliers, but also for the users, distributers. The online food delivery system is the need of hour because of the recent changes in the industry and the increasing use of the internet. A Real-time online food ordering system for the customer is our proposed system. The traditional queueing system drawbacks and disadvantages are overcome by our system application. Food can be ordered online in a hassle-free manner through our proposed system from restaurants as well as mess services. The food order taking methods from customer are improved by our system application. A Food Menu is set up online and as per their wish customers can simply place their order through the proposed system. Also, customers can effortlessly track the orders with a food menu. Users can rate the food items over the feedback system provided by the system. Also, restaurants and mess services are recommended to the new customers based on the user ratings through the proposed system and for the improvements with the quality, the restaurant/mess staff will be informed. For the initial implementation of the system application pay-on-delivery payment system is used. Separate accounts are maintained for each user for more secured ordering by providing an ID and a password.

Project Objectives

·Identifying the target audience: - The main objective of this project is to identify the target audience for the launch of the new online food ordering app “FOOD MANIA”. Mostly the target audience which we found out includes students, working individuals, working married couples and some home makers. These target audience generally tend to order food through online portals due to their hectic working schedules, ease of delivery, varieties of cuisines and ease of payment.

·Where to find the target audience: - The next objective is to know where we will get our target audience. Usually, these target audience we found out near small shops beside the companies where employees used to come and hangout for sometimes, in restaurants and various hangout places according to the areas allocated. Most of the target audience which we should found near small tea shops and stalls.

· How to reach them in most effective manner: - The next main task is to know that how we can reach out to our target audience in the most effective manner so that we can get our responses and at the same time people can get to know about the app and its features. For this purpose, a small questionnaire was designed comprising of 10 questions so that people don’t find it too long to fill.

·Competitor analysis: - The last main objective is to identify the competitors of this app like Food panda, Cheetah, etc. and the services which these competitors are providing to the customers which would help “FOOD MANIA” to make different strategies to capture the market. We should try our best to provide the services include promo offers, cashback offers, delivery time and many other parameters.

Research methodology

A research design is the "blueprint" of the study. The design of a study defines the study type (descriptive, correlational, semi-experimental, experimental, review, meta-analytic) and sub-type (e.g., descriptive-longitudinal case study), research question, hypotheses, independent and dependent variables, experimental design, and, if applicable, data collection methods and a statistical analysis plan.

Project Implementation Method

Restaurants can offer electronic ordering both through their own online web or mobile site and through sites that serve various restaurants, and all restaurants also accept orders via text message more over the credit point and discount coupon that many restaurants increased sales level as a result of accepting electronic orders. The restaurant now day has an interactive and up-to-date menu withall available options inan easy-to-use manner. Most of Younger consumers were more likely to have used online food ordering is essentially adoption on self-service approaches. Well-designed self-service ordering systems give customers actual control over the pace oftheir transaction and allow them to limit theamount of personal interaction of restaurant. In most cases, an increased level of control has been shown to lead to higher level of customer satisfaction and greater intent to use or recommend suggested the service. Perceived convenience of a self-service system also leads to an increase in adoption and satisfaction. In this instance, the definition of convenience is related primarily to access convenience and transaction convenience. A customer will search for a favorite restaurant base on customer location, choose from available items. Payment canbe amongst others either by credit card or cash.

Benefits of the Project Advantages/Benefits of Proposed System

• In case ofsaving the time and effort, user will use this platform because time is money. Users don’t have to go to multiple sites and applicationsfor multiple services. Our system facilitates withflexible services related to Food ordering in a single platform.
• User can save multiple clicks by ordering the favorite food item from the Food restaurants of their choice on the top. Hence it is easy to use.
• Our system works in three phases which works in customer, manager and rider phases. So, the customer will receive the order from the restaurant by allocating the order to the delivery boy which is nearby to the restaurant location.
• In this way restaurants and delivery boy can earn and customer will get the required order in time without any hesitation on their current location by avoiding the takeaway of order.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable During the data design process,data types is specified along with the required and provided rules for the data. Databases have made related to the three modules of this online food ordering system featuring Admin, user, restaurant, and delivery. Data design is basically made to explain the relationship between user and restaurant to share their data and get required order.For example, when a person visits the application or website,he/she will need to register for an account on our application. Whenhe/she register for account,they must give their personal information including a valid email address, a mobile phone number and a unique password. Your unique password should not be shared with anyone, and you agree to keep it always secret. You are only responsible for keeping your password safe. In this way multiple databases are made using Xampp server.

Algorithm & Implementation

• Customers have a mobile application that they use to view the menu of the restaurant he/she wants.
• Customers find a restaurant of their liking and select the food they want to order.
• Customers confirm their orders.
• The users then need to select their payment for cash on delivery (COD) for their orders.
• These orders are received by the restaurant via admin panel.
• The restaurant processes the orders by preparing the meal and packaging the orders.
• The restaurant contacts the delivery service.
• The delivery boydelivers the orders to the concerned customers.
• Admin can update user’s status after delivery of food.
• Administrator can update add and delete

Human interface design

There will be a user-friendly and responsive GUI. A user only a member of the system. There are three types of panelslike User, restaurant, and delivery.Admin can control all the panels of the system. Restaurant owners upload the food items, user can give the order and at last delivery boy drop the order to respective customer.
