Restaurant Automation

Restaurant Automation project is developed by Ahmet Tezcan TEKIN and Burak KAHRAMAN as a senior project.

Introduction

Restaurant Automation is a software product which have different screens in kitchen and in front of cashiers , reports and inventory modules which are embedded and customers use Ipad for ordering their orders. Before this system, waiters were taking orders and manager of restaurant was calculating sales revenue, restaurant expenses manually. So that making mistake about taking order or calculating sales revenue and restaurant expenses was so easy and also it means much workload for all employees. Purpose of this study; developing a system which orders can be taken correctly from an IPad, minimize loss of time and workload, making restaurant more attractive. Reports of sales, product-in and inventory can be taken correctly, calculate sales revenue fast and the most important part is controlling inventory of restaurant efficiently

Major Problems of Restaurant Automation Systems and Benefits of Our Project to Restaurants

• Waiters' main mission is serving so if they are taking orders and transmitting the order to kitchen or somewhere else, this is extra workload.
• Bills can be confused. Items which are not eaten from customers can be added to bill or just the opposite.
• Reports cannot be controlled correctly.
• Orders can be confused. Items in the order can be served wrong customers.
• Employers hire number of unnecessary people because of extra workload.
• Employers don't know how much they exactly earn money.
• If restaurants have too much floor, transmitting to order is too difficult.
• Performance measuring is very difficult.
• Inventory tracking is too hard.
• IPad using is a different way and it's more attractive.
• It will be more technologic so that customers will have good impression about the restaurant.
