Food Ordering System

Introduction

Project Description

FoodClick™ is a food ordering portal which brings together customers and restaurants. There are two types of account on the portal: Customer Account and Restaurant Account. FoodClick™ presents many benefits to their customers. These benefits depend on two types. One of them is for customers the other one is for restaurants.

If a company wants to get more customer than they normally have, they should design their website user-friendly. A user should easily access to their website, and he should do whatever he wants. If he wants to buy anything for a website, he should reach it before spending no more time on it. FoodClick ™ allows easy communication. A user can contact FoodClick ™ via phone or computer into the portal, and he can find the things that he wants.

Moreover, a restaurant also has many benefits. FoodClick ™ acts as an alternative marketplace for restaurants. Restaurants can easily reach customers whom they wouldn’t normally reach. So restaurants can get more clients and more orders with this simple yet effective system. It allows free marketing for restaurants. Restaurant owners/managers can promote their products. FoodClick ™ allows paid advertisements for restaurants to reach even more customers. It rewards delicious and fast service by user pleasure. So a restaurant with a good service quality can easily get even more customers without doing any further promotions or paying for advertisements.

FoodClick ™ has two types of account, Customer Account, and Restaurant Account. In customer account anyone with a valid email and phone number can sign up easily whenever he wants. Once their registration is completed, they are called by one of our customer agents to confirm their phone number. As soon as their phone number is confirmed they are allowed to order food for delivery. So getting orders will be easy for a customer.

In restaurant account, restaurants can get a membership for free. They can increase the number of their customers without no more making effort. As soon as they are confirmed as a valid and legal enterprise their membership is activated, and they can list their products and prices on the page of their restaurant. In addition, the restaurant account allows restaurant owners/managers to update their product and price info at any time.
